Recently, researchers have begun to focus on the relationship between potentially toxic environmental exposures in children to a number of adverse health outcomes. Suppose one such researcher wants to investigate the relationship between lead levels in soil (micrograms/dL) and BMI (kg/m2). The following table represents a SRS of households with the corresponding exterior lead levels and BMI of a randomly sampled child in the home.

- Organizations such as J.D. Power and Associates use the proportion of owners likely to repurchase a particular automobile as an indication of customer loyalty for the automobile. An automobile with a greater proportion of owners likely to repurchase is concluded to have greater customer loyalty. A study was conducted to compare the customer loyalty for three automobiles: Chevrolet Impala, Ford Fusion, and Honda Accord. The study contained 500 respondents and the data is summarized in the Microsoft Excel Online file below. Use the spreadsheet to perform the required calculations and hypothesis test.arrow_forwardReviewers from the Oregon Evidence-Based Practice Center at the Oregon Health and Science University investigated the effectiveness of prescription drugs in assisting people to fall asleep and stay asleep (source: S.
