A sample of men and women who had passed their driver's test either the first time or the second time were surveyed, with the following results:
Results of the driving testGender First time Second timeMen 126 211Women 135 178a) Do these data suggest that there is a relationship between gender and the passing of their driver’s test from which the present sample was drawn? Let alpha=.05
The NAEP considers that a national average of 283 is an acceptable performance. Using α = .05, run a two-tail t-test for one sample to test Ho: µ=283 for the 2019 scores. Report the t-obt, df, and p-values.
Would you reject the null hypothesis that the 2019 scores come from a population with average 283? If this is the case, does it come from a population from larger or smaller average?
Suppose you will perform a test to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to support a claim of a linear correlation between two variables. Find the critical values of r given n = 11 at a significance level of 0.05.

- A Canadian study measuring depression level in teens (as reported in the Journal of Adolescence, vol. 25, 2002) randomly sampled 112 male teens and 101 female teens, and scored them on a common depression scale (higher score representing more depression). The researchers suspected that the mean depression score for male teens is higher than for female teens, and wanted to check whether data would support this hypothesis. If μ1 and μ2 represent the mean depression score for male teens and female teens respectively, which of the following is an appropriate pair of hypotheses in this case?

- McDonald and Dunn (2013) measured the correlation of transferrin (labeled red) and Rab-10 (labeled green) in five cells. The biological null hypothesis is that transferrin and Rab-10 are not colocalized (found in the same subcellular structures), so the statistical null hypothesis is that the correlation coefficient between red and green signals in each cell image has a mean of zero. The correlation coefficients were 0.52, 0.20, 0.59, 0.62 and 0.60 in the five cells. The mean is 0.51 Calculate the descriptive statistic. What is the null hypothesis for a t test here?

- As we have noted in previous chapters, even a very small effect can be significant if the sample is large enough. Suppose, for example, that a researcher obtains a correlation (computed from the raw data) of r = 0.60 for a sample of n = 10 participants. (4 pts. total) Is this sample sufficient to conclude that a significant correlation exists in the population? Use a two-tailed test with α = .05. In your response, be sure to specify the critical value for r.arrow_forwardYou are testing the null hypothesis that there is no relationship between two variables, X and Y.
