A researcher believes that the so-called “sugar high” is not real. He gathered 30 adolescents and recorded their activity level in the scale of 0 – 100 (0 = not active and 100 = super active). First, he recorded participants’ activity level before they consumed candy. After recording their pre-sugar activity level, the researcher gave out 5 Snickers bars to participants. Then, he recorded their post-sugar activity level. The average difference between post-sugar and pre-sugar activity level is 50 (i.e., the activity levels are higher after sugar than prior to it) with a standard deviation of 10.
A). What is the type of test you will use? (z-test, single-sample t-test, paired-samples t-test, or independent samples t-test) and why (what information provided in the problem)B). What are the hypotheses (Be Specific)

- Heart rate during laughter. Laughter is often called “the best medicine,” since studies have shown that laughter can reduce muscle tension and increase oxygenation of the blood. In the International Journal of Obesity (Jan. 2007), researchers at Vanderbilt University investigated the physiological changes that accompany laughter. Ninety subjects (18–34 years old) watched film clips designed to evoke laughter. During the laughing period, the researchers measured the heart rate (beats per minute) of each subject, with the following summary results: Mean = 73.5, Standard Deviation = 6. n=90 (we can treat this as a large sample and use z) It is well known that the mean resting heart rate of adults is 71 beats per minute. Based on the research on laughter and heart rate, we would expect subjects to have a higher heart beat rate while laughing.Construct 95% Confidence interval using z value.

MLB collects a wide variety of team and player statistics. Some of the statistics often used to evaluate pitching performance are as follows: • ERA: The average number of earned runs given up by the pitcher per nine innings. An earned run is any run that the opponent scores off a particular pitcher except for runs scored as a result of errors. • SO/IP: The average number of strikeouts per inning pitched. • HR/IP: The average number of home runs per inning pitched. • R/IP: The number of runs given up per inning pitched. The following data show values for these statistics for a random sample of 20 pitchers from the American League for one full season.
