Thank you in advanced!arrow_forwardInvestigation 3.2: Valence Differences Between R&B and Rap Genres (Paired)A music fan claims that R&B songs tend to have a more positive tone on average than do Rapsongs. The individual collected two independent random samples from the population of SpotifySongs. Fifteen R&B songs and another fifteen Rap songs were collected and their Valence wasrecorded. The music fan believed that pairing the song by their Danceability may provideadditional information. Danceability describes how suitable a track is for dancing based on acombination of musical elements including tempo, rhythm stability, beat strength, and overallregularity. A value of 0.0 is least danceable and 1 is most danceable. Thus, the individual pairedthe R&B song with the lowest danceability with the Rap song with the lowest danceability,followed by the second and second, third and third. She continued this process until the R&Bsong with the highest danceability was paired with the Rap song with the…arrow_forwardPractice question #3 Investigators want to know if those who work long hours have more trouble sleeping. In one sample of 190 British civil servants who worked more than 40 hours a week, 95 of them said they usually get less than 7 hours of sleep per night. In a second sample of 150 British civil servants who worked between 35 and 40 hours per week, 63 of them said they usually get less than 7 hours of sleep per night. The investigators believe these are represent samples of the populations. Find a 95% Confidence Interval for the difference in proportions of these two populations that get less than 7 hours of sleep per night. Then interpret the confidence interval. Be sure to check that any necessary conditions are met first. Round final answers to 3 decimal places. Verify conditions are appropriate for method: Interval: ________________________ Does the interval contain zero? __________ What does this information lead you to conclude?arrow_forward

Conventional wisdom says that eating a healthy breakfast can improve your health and your weight, but can it also affect your test scores? In order to test this, a school program convinces a group of students to skip breakfast one morning before taking a Basic English test. Eighteen students received breakfast before taking the test, and twenty-one students did not eat breakfast and recorded their performance on the English test. What type of research test should this researcher use? Their results are as follows:arrow_forwardRewrite the following sentence to remove its primary problem "We hypothesize that grade level has an effect on academic success."arrow_forward
- Provide an appropriate response. Suppose you were to collect data for the pair of given variables in order to make a scatterplot. For the variables time spent on homework and exam grade, which is more naturally the response variable and which is the explanatory variable? O Time spent on homework: response variable Exam grade: explanatory variable O Time spent on homework: explanatory variable Exam grade: response variablearrow_forwardIn recent years there has been considerable controversy over the use of standardized testing of high school students. Supporters say that the practice is a good measure of both student progress and teacher performance. Opponents say that too much testing impedes learning and causes unnecessarily large expenses for the school districts. There are even reports that a significant number of high school students opt out of taking some of the standardized tests. In one large city where the school district reported that the average score on a national test taken by students in their junior year was 74, a large group of parents felt that this average was too low. The parents contracted a research company in an attempt to show that the average score was higher than the claimed average of 74. The research company took a random sample of 100 juniors and they collected the corresponding 100 exam scores for those students. - what hypotheses is most appropriate to deal with the problem above. - What…arrow_forwardIn a few sentences come up with your own idea for either an experimental OR observational study.

Why is this method unsafe? Choose the correct answer below. OA. This method is unsafe because the average GPA may differ for each team. Using the average of the average GPA of each team obscures the possibility that certain teams tend to perform less well in classes. B. This method is unsafe because there is more variation in the GPAs of the athletes than the average GPA of the university's sports teams. Strong students may offset weak students in calculating the average GPAS, which makes it appear more likely that most students are doing well. OC. This method is unsafe because it is dangerous to extrapolate into the future. Classes in university tend to become more difficult, which makes it less likely that the average GPA will hold as time goes on. D. This method is unsafe because there is a minimum GPA required to graduate. If…arrow_forward
