Studies have suggested that alcohol abuse and disorders are found to be more prevalent during early adulthood than in any other age group, with about 9% of young adults (age 18 to 29 years) meeting the criteria to be labeled as alcoholic. In addition, surveys have shown that college students tend to drink more than their peers who do not attend college.
You want to test to see if there are differences in excessive alcohol use in young adults that attend college versus those who do not, so you surveyed 405 young adults, age 19 to 22, about their alcohol use by asking the question, "Have you consumed alcohol to the point of intoxication at least once within the past month?" with the following results.

- An obstetrician wanted to know the effectiveness of two methods of relieving pain in women due for child delivery. Specifically, she wanted to see if there is a difference in the mean duration of active labor (in minutes) in women introduced to these methods. A total of 28 women were enrolled in the study with fourteen subjects receiving continuous epidural infusion (Group A), while the other fourteen received hourly intermittent epidural injection (Group B). The mean duration of active labor for Group A was 134.1 with a standard deviation 79.79 minutes while for Group B, it was 83.2 ± 46.01 minutes. Does this suggest that there is a difference in the effects of the two methods in terms of reducing the duration of active labor? Use an alpha of 0.05 for this scenario.arrow_forwardWhat is the appropriate statistical test to assess whether there is an association between obesity status (normal weight, overweight, obese) and 5-year incident cardiovascular disease (CVD)?
