In a sample of 300 steel rods, the correlation coefficient between diameter and length was r = 0.15. Find the P-value for testing H0: ρ ≤ 0 vs. H1: ρ > 0. Can you conclude that ρ > 0? Does the result in part (a) allow you to conclude that there is a strong correlation between eccentricity and smoothness? Explain.
What statistical test would be most appropriate if you were interested in seeing how religiosity changes in early adulthood? Religiosity was measured using an interval scale, and the same participants provided data at two time points – at age 15 and 25. Assume the data meets all assumptions for a parametric test
Which non-parametric test for ordinal data is the best to use in the given scenario?
In a study by Zuckerman and Heneghan, hemodynamic stresses were measured on subjects undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. An outcome variable of interest was the ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) measured in mm. A portion of the data appears in the following table. Baseline refers to a measurement taken 5 minutes after induction of anesthesia, and the term '5 minutes' refers to a measurement taken 5 minutes after baseline. Can we conclude that, on the basis of these data, among subjects undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the average LVEDV levels change? Let a =.01.
