the result of a statistical analysis shows that the tcalculate= 2.37 and the tcritical= 1.40. The alpha of the test was set at 0.05. What are your conclusions concerning the significance of the test? Would your conclusion change if the alpha were changed to 0.10 (assuming the tcritical and tcalculated stayed the same). Explain why or why not.

Assume we wanted to show that the true average height of students is less than 63 inches. Let's say we tested at an alpha of 0.05, and found a p-value of 0.0315. Which would be an appropriate conclusion and interpretation? A) With an alpha of 0.05, and a p-value of 0.0315, we reject the null and state we have sufficient evidence to support that the true average height of students is less than 63 inches. B) With an alpha of 0.5, and a p-value of 0.0315, we reject the null and state we have sufficient evidence to support that the true average height of students is less than 63 inches. C) With an alpha of 0.05, and a p-value of 0.0315, we fail to reject the null and state we have insufficient evidence to support that the true average height of students is less than 63 inches. D) With an alpha of 0.05, and a p-value of 0.0315, we fail to reject the null and state we have sufficient evidence to support that the true average height of students is greater than or equal to…
Assume that ρxy = .30 between weight and exercise for the population of normal adults. However, a researcher believes the relationship is stronger for children. The researcher tests a sample of 28 children and obtains an rxy = .47. Does this result support the researcher’s belief? Conduct an appropriate statistical test using an alpha level of .05.

A dentist wanted to determine if a relationship existed between childhood fluoride exposure and cavities. She took a sample of adults in her practice and counted how many cavities each person had in his or her permanent teeth. She also determined how many years of childhood each person was exposed to tap water with fluoride. The minimum value on this variable was 0 and the maximum was 18. Using the data below, an alpha of .05 and a two-tailed test, was there a significant relationship? Years of fluoride Number of cavities 0 10 18 1 2 7 12 3 3 4 10 5 M = 7.5s =6.98 M = 5.00s = 3.16
