Here is a dataset containing plant growth measurements of plants grown in solutions of commonly-found chemicals in roadway runoff.Phragmites australis, a fast-growing non-native grass common to roadsides and disturbed wetlands of Tidewater Virginia, was grown in a greenhouse and watered with either: Distilled water (control); A weak petroleum solution (representing standard roadway runoff); Sodium chloride solution; Magnesium chloride solution; De-icing brine (50% sodium chloride and 50% magnesium chloride).Twenty grass preparations were used for each solution, and total growth (in cm) was recorded after watering every other day for 40 days.-Perform the correct statistical test to determine the p-value.-Report your answer rounded to four decimal places.-You should use formulas, functions, and the Data Analysis ToolPak in MS Excel to avoid additive rounding errors.

A local church is interested in determining how length of residence in the present community relates to church attendance. Using a random sample of 15 individuals, they gathered data on how many times in the previous 5 weeks each individual attended church services. The data are provided below.

What are the assumptions for this problem?
Researchers interested in lead exposure due to car exhaust sampled the blood of 52 police officers subjected to constant inhalation of automobile exhaust fumes while working traffic enforcement in a primarily urban environment. The blood samples of these officers had an average lead concentration of 124.32 µg/l and a SD of 37.74 µg/l; a previous study of individuals from a nearby suburb, with no history of exposure, found an average blood level concentration of 35 µg/l.
Test the hypothesis that the downtown police officers have a higher lead exposure than the group in the previous study. Interpret your results in context.
Based on your preceding result, without performing a calculation, would a 99% confidence interval for the average blood concentration level of police officers contain 35 µg/l?
Based on your preceding result, without performing a calculation, would a 99% confidence interval for this difference contain 0? Explain why or why not.

Cotinine is a metabolite of nicotine, meaning that when nicotine is absorbed by the body, cotinine is produced. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that nonsmokers exposed to tobacco smoke have a higher mean cotinine level than nonsmokers not exposed to tobacco smoke. Construct the confidence interval appropriate for the hypothesis test in part a. What do you conclude about the effects of second-hand smoke?arrow_forward
- 1 (part 1). Does When Food Is Eaten Affect Weight Gain?A study was introduced that examined the effect of light at night on weight gain in mice. In the full study of 27 mice over a four-week period, the mice who had a light on at night gained significantly more weight than the mice with darkness at night, despite eating the same number of calories and exercising the same amount. Researchers noticed that the mice with light at night ate a greater percentage of their calories during the day (when mice are supposed to be sleeping). The computer output shown below allows us to examine the relationship between percent of calories eaten during the day, DayPct, and body mass gain in grams, BMGain. A scatterplot with regression line is also shown below (attached image).Pearson correlation of BMGain and DayPct =0.740P-Value =0.000--------------------------------------------------------------The regression equation isBMGain=1.11+0.127DayPct Predictor Coef SE Coef T P Constant 1.113 1.382…arrow_forwardThe number of Drosophila fruit flies in a controlled experiment assumes the following growth pattern when the food source is limited:arrow_forwardDyslexia refers to a specific reading disability that affects 10% to 15% of the general population.

A researcher proposed that dyslexia was the result of a complex visual deficit that could be immediately corrected by simply putting a blue plastic overlay on the reading material. To test this, 100 dyslexic children were randomly assigned to one of two groups, one of which read from pages with a clear plastic overlay and the other of which read from pages with a blue plastic overlay.

If m1 is the frequency at age t1, and m2 is the frequency at age t2, then the yearly rate of increase is estimated by r = (m2 − m1)/(t2 − t1). In a polymerase chain reaction assay, the frequency in 20-year-old men was estimated to be 17.7 ± 1.7 per μgDNA, and the frequency in 40-year-old men was estimated to be 35.9 ± 5.8 per μg DNA.
