5) Alcohol consumption is influenced by price and packaging, but what about glassware? Atwood et al. (2012) measured whether the time taken to drink a beer was influenced by the shape of the glass in which it was served. Participants were given a 12 oz. of chilled lager and were told that they should drink it at their own pace while watching a nature documentary. The participants were randomly assigned to receive their beer in either a straight-sided glass or a curved, fluted glass. The data below are the total time in minutes to drink the glass of beer by the 19 women participants in the study. Straight glass: 11.63 10.37 17.89 6.96 20.40 20.64 9.26 18.11 10.33 23.54 Curved glass: 7.46 9.28 8.90 6.73 8.25 6.16 13.09 2.10 6.37 a. Show the data in a graph. What trend is suggested? Comment on other differences between the frequency distributions of the two samples. b. Test whether the mean total time to drink the beer differs depending on beer glass shape.
Among the literature on quitting smoking are data detailing the relative successfulness of people of different ages in quitting smoking. A study of 400 adults who began various smoking-cessation programs produced the data in the table below. In the table, each participant is classified according to two variables: length of their smoking cessation period ("Less than two weeks", "Between two weeks and one year", or "At least one year") and age ("21-34", or "35 and over"). In the table, "less than two weeks" means that the individual returned to smoking within two weeks of beginning the program; "between two weeks and one year" means that the individual lasted the first two weeks without smoking but retuned to smoking within a year; and "at least one year" means that the individual has not smoked for at least a year since beginning the program. The table is a contingency table whose cells contain the respective observed frequencies of classifications of the 400 smokers. In addition, three…
