A study is made of residents in Phoenix and its suburbs concerning the proportion of residents who subscribe to Sporting News. A random sample of 87 urban residents showed that 13 subscribed, and a random sample of 95 suburban residents showed that 20 subscribed. Does this indicate that a higher proportion of suburban residents subscribe to Sporting News? Use a 10% level of significance. \

A school psychologist is interested in whether going to nature school, where children spend their day outside working with nature, versus public school has an effect on children's empathy toward their peers. A national survey of public schools found that, on a scale from 1 to 10, the average empathy among all
children in public schools was 5 (u = 5.00). The school psychologist randomly
selects 4 children from a nature school, measures their empathy toward their peers, and obtains the following scores:
10, 9, 10, 7
Using the appropriate hypothesis test and the six steps of hypothesis testing, see what the school psychologist should conclude about the difference in empathy between children who attend nature school versus children who attend public school.
1. What is the appropriate test to use ?
2. List the test's assumptions You do NOT have to test the assumptions.
3. What are the null and alternative hypotheses ?

The number of students getting at least one cold in March was computed in the two groups, and the results are given in the following 2 X 2 table.

- Researchers investigated the possible beneficial effect on heart health of crinking black tea and whether adding mikk to the tea reduces any possible benefit Tiventy-four volunteers Were randomly assigned to one of three groups Every day for month; participants in group drank twvo cups ofhot black tea without mikk; participants in group drank two cups of hot black tea with milk; and participants in group drank twvo cups ofhot water but no tea At the end of the month the fesearchers measured the change in each of the participants heart health. Is it reasonable to zeneralize the study beyond the 24 participants? Explain why or why not.arrow_forwardIn this study, the college instructor aims to know whether there are differences in the performance of students among the three classroom environments. We consider the three classroom environments (Mozart’s piece, relaxation music, and silence) as the factor variable. Also, the response variable is the performance of the students which is in the ratio level of measurement. The students were independently and randomly assigned to each of the three classroom environments: Mozart piece, relaxation music, and silence. The p-values obtained from the Shapiro-Wilk test indicate that the assumption of normality was satisfied. Further, results obtained from the Levene’s test indicate that the assumption of homogeneity of variances was satisfied. Considering the variable of interest and the results of the test for the assumptions, the appropriate test procedure to analyze the given data is the Kruskal Wallis Test.

- Consider the following actual data from a study by Lyon and Greenberg (1991). The first factor in their factorial ANOVA was family background; female participants were classified into two groups (Group 1: codependent, women with an alcoholic parent; Group 2: non-codependent, women with nonalcoholic parents). Members of these two groups were randomly assigned to one of two conditions; they were asked to donate time to help a man who was described to them as either Mr. Wrong (exploitative, selfish, and dishonest) or Mr. Right (nurturant, helpful). The researchers predicted that women from a non-codependent/nonalcoholic family background would be more helpful to a person described as nurturant and helpful, whereas women from a codependent/alcoholic family background would be more helpful to a person described as needy, exploitative, and selfish. The table of means below represents the amount of time donated in minutes in each of the four cells of this 2 × 2 factorial design. In each cell,…arrow_forwardIn a study of a group of women science majors who remained in their profession and a group who left their profession within a few months of graduation, the researchers collected the data shown here on a self-esteem questionnaire.

- The manufacturer of a new racecar engine claims that the proportion of engine failures due to overheating for this new engine, (p1)(p1), will be no higher than the proportion of engine failures due to overheating of the old engines, (p2)(p2). To test this statement, NASCAR took a random sample of 165165 of the new racecar engines and 145145 of the old engines. They found that 1818 of the new racecar engines and 1212 of the old engines failed due to overheating during the test. Does NASCAR have enough evidence to reject the manufacturer's claim about the new racecar engine? Use a significance level of α=0.01α=0.01 for the test. Step 1 of 6 : State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test. Step 2 of 6: Find the vales of the two sample proportions P1 and P2.Round your answers three decimal places.

Another random sample of n2 = 125 people ages 16 to 19 were taken from Sweetwater County, Wyoming, and 5 were found to be high school dropouts.
