Question 2
In the past, 15% of the mail order solicitations for a certain charity resulted in a
financial contribution. A new solicitation letter that has been drafted is sent to a
sample of 200 people and 45 responded with a contribution. At the .05 significance
level can it be concluded that the new letter is more effective?
Researchers conducted a prospective cohort study to assess the association between dietary supplements and cognitive ability among children. A total of 500 children age 12-17 years who take an omega-3 fatty acid supplement are compared with 500 children age 12-17 years who do not take an omega-3 fatty acid supplement. Researchers follow the children for 2 years. During this time, 300 children who take the supplement earn what is classified as a “high” score on a cognitive test while 200 children who do not take the supplement earn what is classified as a “high” score on the same cognitive test. Show calculations.

A group of health professionals produced a cholesterol drug. To measure the effectiveness of this drug they implemented a program that offered free
drugs to people to decrease their cholesterol level. Health professionals also collected a sample of people, who did not have the drug, to act as a control
group. Health professionals then measured cholesterol level of all individuals in year 1, before any cholesterol drug were given out, and then measured
the same group of individuals again in year 2 after the cholesterol drugs had been administered.
Consider the following model to evaluate the effectiveness of the drug on people's cholesterol level:
cholie = Bo + 8od2, + B1drugit + Vịt
chol= cholestrol of individual i, in year t
d2;= binary variable equal to 1 if the time period is year 2, and 0 otherwise
drug= binary variable equal to 1 if individual i took the drug in year t, and 0 otherwise
V= composite error consisting of the unobserved, time-constant effect (a;) and the idiosyncratic…

- Textbook authors must be careful that the reading level of their book is appropriate for the target audience. Some methods of assessing reading level require estimating the average word length. We've randomly chosen 20 words from a randomly selected page in Intro Stats and counted the number of letters in each word: 5, 5, 2, 11, 3, 5, 6, 8, 5, 4, 7, 2, 9, 4, 8, 10, 4, 7, 6, 9 Suppose that our editor was hoping that the book would have a mean word length of 6.8 letters. Does this sample indicate that the authors failed to meet this goal? With a significance level of 0.05, test an appropriate hypothesis and state your conclusion. (i.e state the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses, calculate the test statistic, conclude and interpret it).arrow_forwardA government study found that people who eat chocolate frequently weighless than people who don’t. Researchers questioned 1000 individuals fromCalifornia between the ages of 20 and 85 about their eating habits, andmeasured their weight and height. On average, participants ate chocolatetwice a week and had a body mass index (BMI) of 28. There was anobserved difference of five to seven pounds in weight between those whoate chocolate five times a week and those who did not eat any chocolate atall, with the chocolate eaters weighing less on average.

Such hypotensive drugs are frequently effective but are also linked to side effects like irritability and a decline in energy. Seventy-five patients with mild hypertension were put on hypotensive drugs and their progress was monitored by doctors and spouses. When asked to rate the treated patients as improved, worse, or unchanged, the doctors rated all 75 patients as "improved." Meanwhile, the spouses rated 74 of the 75 patients as "worse." Why might spouses and doctors differ in their opinion about the effect of going on blood pressure medication?arrow_forward

The airplane has 50 seats, but Allegiant is considering accepting more reservations than seats because sometimes passengers do not show up for their flights, resulting in empty seats. The PassengerAppearance worksheet in the file Overbooking contains data on 1,000 passengers showing whether or not they showed up for their respective flights. In addition, Allegiant has conducted a field experiment to gauge the demand for reservations for the current flight. During this experiment, they did not limit the number of reservations for the flight to observe the uncensored demand. The following table summarizes the result of the field experiment.
