Suppose you carry out a significance test of H0: μ = 8 versus Ha: μ > 8 based on sample size n = 25 and obtain t = 2.15. Find the p-value for this test. What conclusion can you draw at the 5% significance level? Explain.
Choose the correct statistical test to use:
1. You investigated the effect of vitamin D on melanoma in males and females. After
exposing the subjects to two concentrations of vitamin D or a placebo for two years, you
determined how many males and females were diagnosed with melanoma.
2. You follow your vitamin D/melanoma study with an investigation into the number of
sites per person the females developed. You compared the highest vitamin D
concentration to the placebo.
3. Studies show that women can pole vault higher when wearing Nike running shoes
than when wearing Adidas running shoes. You are an Adidas marketing agent and want
to disprove this claim. You measured the height that 50 women wearing Nike shoes
could vault and compared it to the height that 43 women wearing Adidas shoes could
vault.
4. I have noticed that the research students in my lab prefer using the Eppendorf brand of
micropipettes over the VWR brand. I need to purchase more pipettes so I want to make

- Choose the appropriate statistical test. When computing, be sure to round each answer as indicated. A dentist wonders if depression affects ratings of tooth pain.
