Byron is conducting an experiment to determine whether a new medication is effective in reducing coughing. He finds 1,200 volunteers with coughing issues and divides them into two groups. The control group does not receive any medication; the treatment group receives the medication. The patients in the treatment group show reduced signs of coughing. What can Byron conclude from this experiment?

- Professor James gave the same test to his three sections of statistics students. On the 35-question test, the highest score was 32 and the lowest was 15. Based on the information displayed in the boxplots above, which of the following statements is true? Section 1 has the smallest interquartile range. The lowest score in section 2 is higher than the highest score in either of the other sections. Section 2 has the smallest range of scores. The top 25% of scores in section 2 are lower than the highest score in section 3. At least 50% of the scores in section 3 are higher than all of the scores in section 1.arrow_forwardA researcher is interested in the effects of cocaine on learning. A group of rats is randomly assigned to receive either cocaine or a non-harmful saline solution. The rats are taught how to run a maze. The cocaine rats need to be reared away from the control group rats, so they are handled and taught by one experimenter, and the control group rats are handled and taught by another experimenter. The results showed that the control group rats learned how to run the maze more quickly than the cocaine rats. 1. What is the independent variable? 2. What is the dependent variable? 3.

Each rat's weight is recorded in grams. Linda feeds her rats Formula A, Tuan feeds his rats Formula B, and Javier feeds his rats Formula C. At the end of a specified time period, each rat is weighed again, and the net gain in grams is recorded. Using a significance level of 10%, test the hypothesis that the three formulas produce the same mean weight gain. (Let 1 = Linda's rats, 2 = Tuan's rats and 3 = Javier's rats.)

One way to answer such a question is to examine profit as a percentage of stockholder equity. A random sample of 32 retail stocks such as Toys 'R' Us, Best Buy, and Gap was studied for x1, profit as a percentage of stockholder equity. The result was x1 = 14.0. A random sample of 36 utility (gas and electric) stocks such as Boston Edison, Wisconsin Energy, and Texas Utilities was studied for x2, profit as a percentage of stockholder equity. The result was x2 = 10.3. Assume that ?1 = 4.5 and ?2 = 3.0. (a) Categorize the problem below according to parameter being estimated, proportion p, mean ?, difference of means ?1 – ?2, or difference of proportions p1 – p2. Then solve the problem. p1 – p2?1 – ?2 ?p (b) Let ?1 represent the population mean profit as a percentage of stockholder equity for retail stocks, and let ?2 represent the population mean profit as a percentage of stockholder equity for utility stocks.

- How profitable are different sectors of the stock market? One way to answer such a question is to examine profit as a percentage of stockholder equity. A random sample of 32 retail stocks was studied for x1, profit as a percentage of stockholder equity. The result was x1 = 13.2. A random sample of 33 utility (gas and electric) stocks was studied for x2, profit as a percentage of stockholder equity. The result was x2 = 10.0. Assume ?1 = 4.2 and ?2 = 2.6. Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some cases, this choice will increase the P-value by a small amount or increase the length of the confidence interval, thereby making the answer slightly more "conservative." (a) Let ?1 represent the population mean profit as a percentage of stockholder equity for retail stocks, and let ?2 represent the population mean profit as a percentage of stockholder equity for utility stocks.
