A research article on the effect of multitasking on grade performance describes an experiment in which 62 undergraduate business students were randomly assigned to one of two experimental groups. Students in one group were asked to listen to a lecture but were told that they were permitted to use cell phones to send text messages during the lecture. Students in the second group listened to the same lecture but were not permitted to send text messages. Afterwards, students in both groups took a quiz on material covered in the lecture. Data from this experiment are summarized in the accompanying table.
A cross-sectional study is conducted to investigate cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors among a sample of patients seeking medical care at one of three local hospitals. A total of 500500 patients are enrolled. Based on the following data, we would like to determine if there is a significant association between the family history of CVD and the enrollment site.

Do cell phones increase drivers' reaction times while driving? A 2003 American Journal of Health Education study investigated the effects of cell phone use on reaction time. In the study, 60 participants were randomly selected and placed into one of two groups: the cell phone group or the control group. Those in the control group participated in the experiment with no distractions, whereas those in the cell phone group had access to text documents on a cell phone. Participants in each group were then asked to take a computerized reaction time test. Researchers then recorded each subject's reaction time in seconds. The table shows the results of the experiment.

In one part of the study, female college students were given brief descriptions of a potential romantic partner. The fictitious male was described positively as being single and ambitious and having good job prospects. For one group of participants, the description also said that he had a great sense of humor. For another group, it said that he has no sense of humor. After reading the description, each participant was asked to rate the attractiveness of the man on a seven-point scale from 1 (very unattractive) to 7 (very attractive). A score of 4 indicates a neutral rating. The females who read the “great sense of humor” description gave the potential partner an average attractiveness score of M = 4.53 with a standard deviation of s = 1.04.

- Dean for student affairs of a small university is worried about students’ expenditure on internet expense during the period study from home since this Covid-19 outbreak. Especially she wants to know whether students of social sciences spend more compared to students from science and technology. As a quick and preliminary study, she collected a sample of 9 students from science and technology and 11 students from social sciences. Total spending for internet is in Rp0000 during the month of April 2029. The results are presented in the following table. Questions: 1.
