- Some scientists believe that the sickle-cell trait lowers the risk of developing malaria. To explore this belief, 398 children in Africa were tested for the sickle-cell trait and malaria. The results are presented in Table 1 Test, at the 5% level of significance, whether there is an association between the sickle- cell trait and malaria. Step 1: Step 2: Step 3: Step 4: Step 5: Step 6:arrow_forwardIn Exercises 5–16, use analysis of variance for the indicated test. Flight Departure Delays Listed below are departure delay times (minutes) for American Airline flights from New York to Los Angeles. Negative values correspond to flights that departed early. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the different flights have the same mean departure delay time. What notable feature of the data can be identified by visually examining the data?arrow_forwardIn Exercises 5–16, use analysis of variance for the indicated test. Lead and Full IQ Scores Example 1 used measured performance IQ scores for three different blood lead levels. If we use the same three categories of blood lead levels with the full IQ scores, we get the accompanying Excel display. (The data are listed in Data Set 7 “IQ and Lead” in Appendix B.) Using a 0.05 significance level, test the claim that the three categories of blood lead level have the same mean full IQ score. Does it appear that exposure to lead has an effect on full IQ scores?

Minitabarrow_forwardThe Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (www.cbpp.org) reported that average out-of-pocket medical expenses for prescription drugs for privately insured adults with incomes over 200% of the poverty level was $173 in 2002. Suppose an investigation was conducted in 2012 to determine whether the increased availability of generic drugs, Internet prescription drug purchases, and cost controls has reduced out-of-pocket drug expenses. The investigation randomly sampled 196 privately insured adults with incomes over 200% of the poverty level, and the respondents’ 2012 out-of-pocket medical expenses for prescription drugs were recorded. These data indicate the sample mean to be $167.52 with a standard deviation of 28.52 Based on the sample data, can it be concluded that 2012 out-of-pocket prescription drug expenses are lower than the 2002 average reported by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities?

Identify a major problem with the study.arrow_forwardIn Exercises 5–16, use the listed paired sample data, and assume that the samples are simple random samples and that the differences have a distribution that is approximately normal. Heights of Mothers and Daughters Listed below are heights (in.) of mothers and their first daughters. The data are from a journal kept by Francis Galton. (See Data Set 5 “Family Heights” in Appendix B.) Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that there is no difference in heights between mothers and their first daughters.arrow_forwardComplete the table below by identifying the appropriate data-gathering instruments, data processing techniques, non-prose materials, and statistical tests for the given scenario. Explain the reasons behind your choice. Tricia wants to determine if her organization’s new counseling technique decreases the anxiety level of single mothers in their community. Specifically, she wants to address the following research questions: Is there a significant decrease in the anxiety level of single mothers subjected to the counseling technique? Is there a difference in the anxiety level of the control and experimental groups after the intervention? How do the single mothers respond to the counseling technique? To do this, she will use two intact groups: one control group and one experimental group. There will be 98 participants in the study. Fifty will be assigned to the experimental group who will be subjected to the new counseling technique. The rest will be assigned to the control group who…arrow_forward

Persons are required to take certain measures to prevent the spread of this virus; however, persons’ knowledge, attitudes and practices towards COFLU-20 may influence their adherence to these measures. A researcher decided to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes and practices towards COFLU-20 of adults living in the English-speaking Caribbean. To gather the data, the researcher developed an online survey consisting of four (4) sections. Section A gathered demographic data on the respondents including their gender, marital status, highest level of education attained, occupation and country of residence. Section B consisted of 15 questions that gathered data on the respondents’ knowledge of COFLU-20. Section C consisted of 10 questions that gathered data on the respondents’ attitudes towards COFLU-20.
