- A poll found that 15% of adults do not work at all while on summer vacation. In a random sample of 8 adults, let x represent the number who do not work during summer vacation. Complete parts a through e.arrow_forwardA developmental psychologist working in the area of suggestion asked a sample of children to solve as many problems as they could in 15 minutes. Half of the children are told that this is a problem-solving task and the other half are told that this is just a time-filling task. The psychologist is interested in the impact of the suggestion on problem solving. What can be concluded with an α of 0.01? Below is the data for the number of problems solved. A) Condition 1 = Condition 2= B) critical value= test statistic = Reject or Fail to Reject C)Compute the corresponding effect size(s) and indicate magnitude(s) d= / magnitude= r2 = / magnitude=arrow_forwardIn a recent survey, ice cream truck drivers in Cincinnati, Ohio, reported they make about $280 in income on a typical summer day. The income was generally higher on days with longer work hours, particularly hot day, and on holidays. The IceCream data file includes five weeks of the driver's daily income (Income), number of hours on the road (Hours), whether it was a particularly hot day (Hot = 1 if the high temperature was above 85-degrees F, 0 otherwise), and whether it was a Holiday (Holiday = 1, 0 otherwise). 1. Predict the income of a driver working 8 hours on a hot holiday. (Round to the nearest dollar.) 2. Predict the income of a driver working 8 hours on a hot day if it was not a holiday. (Round to the nearest dollar.)arrow_forward
- Consider the following: In general, when people diet they typically lose 10 lbs. (?σ = 2). A random sample of 16 people on the keto diet lost 15 lbs. Do people on the keto diet lose more or less weight than people on diets in general? -Weight loss in the keto diet sample does differ from weight loss in the population of dieters in general (H1: X-bar does not equal Mu) -On average, weight loss in the keto diet sample does not differ from weight loss in the population of dieters in general. (H0: X-bar = Mu)) Question: 1. What is μxbar? 2.What is σxbar?arrow_forwardConsider the following: In general, when people diet they typically lose 10 lbs. (?σ = 2).

- A professional body wishes to analyse the performance of its students on a particular two-part examination. It records the scores obtained by a sample of 12 students on the first part of the exam, and the scores obtained by the same students on the second part of the exam. The results are as follows: Student A B C D E F G H I J K L First-part exam score x (%) 82 49 73 60 61 77 65 85 91 53 59 73 Second-part exam score y (%) 76 58 75 66 70 71 76 92 87 59 63 71 Calculate the fitted linear regression equation of y on x. Comment on the relationship between the scores obtained in the two exams.arrow_forwarda. Compute the incidence rate of coronary artery disease in patients receiving the new cholesterol medication. b.
