A researcher uncovers that there is a significant interaction between the factor of marital status (i.e., married or non-married) and participant sex (i.e., male or female) regarding well-being. A researcher decides to compare the difference in well-being between married men and women. What would be the null hypothesis for this comparison?
a.
µMale ≠ µFemale for married individuals
b.
µMale ≠ µFemale for non-married individuals
c.
µMale = µFemale for non-married individuals
d.
µMale = µFemale for married individuals

10. A small pilot study is conducted to investigate the effect of a nutritional supplement on total body weight.
Six participants agree to take the nutritional supplement. To assess its effect on body weight, weights are
measured before starting the supplementation and then after 6 weeks. The data are shown below. Is
there a significant increase in body weight following supplementation? Run the test at a 5% level of
significance. Demonstrate the five steps for hypothesis testing and explain your results.

6. Consider the wine quality of young red wines data given on Question 6 data. The
wine- makers believe that the sulfur content has a negative impact on the taste
(thus the overall quality) of the wine. Perform a thorough analysis of these data. Do
the data support the winemakers' belief? (In the thorough analysis, be sure to
perform the appropriate hypothesis test. When completing the hypothesis test, give
the relevant assumptions, test statistic, p-value, and conclusion in context.)

Exercise 6.22 provides data on sleep deprivation rates of Californians and Oregonians. The proportion of California residents who reported insufficient rest or sleep during each of the preceding 30 days is 8.0%, while this proportion is 8.8% for Oregon residents. These data are based on simple random samples of 11,545 California and 4,691 Oregon residents. (a) Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if these data provide strong evidence the rate of sleep deprivation is different for the two states.
