Textbook Question
Chapter 3.7, Problem 2EG
For most cases, a p value of 0.05 is used to determine whether results fit expected values. Is this a “magic number,” or could p values be set more stringently, say 0.01, or more lax, say 0.10? What effect would these values have on the reliability of the chi-square test?

What is the importance of sample size and choice of test organism in studies involving probabilities? 3. Differentiate mean, variance, and standard deviation. 4. What does a relatively small standard deviation indicate?arrow_forwardIf you wanted to know if your average absorbances for pH 7 and pH 11 were different, what preliminary calculation would you preform? Select one: a. Standard deviation b. Variance c. Standard error of mean d. Rangearrow_forwardCalculate the Variance of the following data set: 10, 15, 13, 12, 14arrow_forward
- Calculate the standard error of regression (SER) for the Lineweaver–Burk slope and the Eadie–Hofstee slope to compare the precision of each. please answer this question Eadie–Hofstee SER: it is not 0.128, 0.028, 0.136, or 0.1362.arrow_forwardHow are the standard deviation and variance related to each other? How are they different than just measuring the range? Can plot samples of dandelion cover from two different locations have the same mean but different variance? Explain. Can you answer question 3? Thanks.arrow_forwardCorn plants from a test plot are measured, and the distribution of heights at 10-cm intervals is recorded in the following table: Height (cm) Plants (no.) 100 20 110 60 120 90 130 130 140 180 150 120 160 70 170 50 180 40 Calculate (a) the mean height, (b) the variance, (c) the standard deviation, and (d) the standard error of the mean. Plot a rough graph of plant height against frequency. Do the values represent a normal distribution? Based on your calculations, how would you assess the variation within this population?arrow_forward
- Describe in your own words what variance measures. Then explain why the variance of both samples must be used in the calculation of a t-test (In other words, explain why we have to factor in the variance when comparing the means).arrow_forwardConsidering that I have a chi-square test critical value of 3.84 what is the minimum X2 value for me to reject the null hypothesis? Is it 3.84 or 3.85?arrow_forwardWhat does the likelihood ratio mean?arrow_forward
- What type of statistical test is this?arrow_forwardAssume that a Chi-square test was conducted to test the goodness of fit to a 3:1 ratio and that a Chi-square value of 2.62 was obtained (Table value is equal to 3.84). Should the null hypothesis be accepted? How many degrees of freedom would be associated with this test of significance?arrow_forwardIn an experiment, I obtained 3 values which are 75, 99, 150. This shows that my values are precise. True Falsearrow_forward
