The χ2 test used in Exercise 14.22 is equivalent to the two-tailed Z test of Section 10.3, provided α is the same for the two tests. Show algebraically that the χ2 test statistic X2 is the square of the test statistic Z for the equivalent test.
14.22 A study to determine the effectiveness of a drug (serum) for the treatment of arthritis resulted in the comparison of two groups each consisting of 200 arthritic patients. One group was inoculated with the serum whereas the other received a placebo (an inoculation that appears to contain serum but actually is not active). After a period of time, each person in the study was asked whether his or her arthritic condition had improved. The results in the accompanying table were observed. Do these data present sufficient evidence to indicate that the proportions of arthritic individuals who said their condition had improved differed depending on whether they received the serum?
- a Test by using the X2 statistic. Use α = .05.
- b Test by using the Z test of Section 10.3 and α = .05. Compare your result with that in part (a).
- c Give bounds for the attained significance level associated with the test in part (a).

- The following data are from a random sample of 10 students who participated in a study undertaken to investigate the effect of sleep time (measured in average number of hours of sleep per night) on GPA (grade point average, measured on a 4-point scale). Student Sleep time GPA 1 7 3.28 2 9 3.16 3 8 3.75 4 6 2.50 5 4 2.45 6 8 2.91 7 7 3.53 8 6 3.02 9 3 2.30 10 8 3.48 a. Find the equation between GPA (y) as function of sleep time (x). b. What is the estimated GPA of a student who averages 5 hours of sleep per night? c. What is the coefficient of determination? *(no use EXCEL)arrow_forwardA researcher is interested in testing the relationship between smoking and BMI (kg/m2) in adults aged 30-45. In order to test this association, the researcher divides smoking into currently more than a pack a day, currently less than a pack a day, and never smokers. The following table represents the BMIs for each participant enrolled by their respective smoking category. Current Smoker (≥1pack/day) Current Smoker (<1 pack/day Never Smoked 26.7 29.4 22.1 29.4 28.6 30.4 24.3 27.4 21.3 28.4 23.2 26.4 21.6 20.1 19.7 27.4 20.6 19.8 26.8 19.7 21.6 36.4 19.6 22.3 31.5 21.6 24.3 27.4 21.5 *Continue as though all assumptions for ANOVA are met.
