In each of Exercises 11.33–11.36, use the technology of your choice to decide whether applying one-standard-deviation χ2-procedures appears reasonable. Explain your answers.
11.36 Plesiadapis cookei. One extinct relative of primates that lived in North America about 60 million years ago is called Plesiadapis cookei. Dental characteristics of P cookei were compared to those of other primate species in the article ‘‘Evidence of Dietary Differentiation among Late Paleocene-Early Eocene Plesiadapids" (American Journal of Physical Anthropology, Vol. 142, No. 2, pp. 194–210) by D. Boyer el al. The following table gives the dentary depth, in millimeters, for a sample of molars from the skulls of 18 P cookei specimens.

Refer to the data presented in Exercise 2.86. Note that there
were 50% more accidents in the 25 to less than 30 age group
than in the 20 to less than 25 age group. Does this suggest
that the older group of drivers in this city is more accident-
prone than the younger group? What other explanation might
account for the difference in accident rates?
Heart rate during laughter. Laughter is often called “the best medicine,” since studies have shown that laughter can reduce muscle tension and increase oxygenation of the blood. In the International Journal of Obesity (Jan. 2007), researchers at Vanderbilt University investigated the physiological changes that accompany laughter. Ninety subjects (18–34 years old) watched film clips designed to evoke laughter. During the laughing period, the researchers measured the heart rate (beats per minute) of each subject,
with the following summary results:
Mean = 73.5,
Standard Deviation = 6. n=90 (we can treat this as a large sample and use z)
It is well known that the mean resting heart rate of adults is 71 beats per minute. Based on the research on laughter and heart rate, we would expect subjects to have a higher heart beat rate while laughing.Construct 95% Confidence interval using z value. What is the lower bound of CI?
a) Calculate the value of the test statistic.(z*)
b) If…
A random sample of 15 families representing three different Scandinavian countries has been observed for the number of weekend trips they take per year. Are the differences significant (use p=.05, F(critical) = 3.88)? Use the five step model as a guide and write a sentence or two of interpretation for your results.

To examine this relationship, a researcher obtains a random sample of n = 36 children, 8 to 12 years old, who have been diagnosed with ADHD.
