No Variation in a Sample An experiment was conducted to test the effects of alcohol. Re-searchers measured the breath alcohol levels for a treatment group of people who drank ethanol and another group given a placebo. The results are given below (based on data from “Effects of Alcohol Intoxication on Risk Taking, Strategy, and Error Rate in Visuomotor Performance,” by Streufert et al.. Journal of Applied Psychology, Vol. 77, No. 4). Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the two sample groups come from populations with the same mean.
Treatment Group: n1 = 22,
Placebo Group: n2 = 22,

- A data set from a study that examined the effect of a specific diet on blood pressure is below. Participants (n = 72) were randomly assigned either to a group that was put on the diet (Diet = Present) or to a group that was not put on the diet (Diet = Absent), and researchers wanted to know whether the diet had a significant impact on blood pressure. Before conducting the test, evaluate the normality assumption for the test and report the results (i.e., is the assumption reasonable for this analysis/data set?).

Hahn (2017) evaluated sociodemographic differences in how people worry about lung cancer. Some of the differences observed across demographic of interest were between males and females [t[45]=0.69; higher mean worry among men], smokers and nonsmokers [t[45]=2.69; higher mean worry among smokers]. However, at least one of these results were not statistically significant. Use the information provided to state which t test or t test did not reach the .05 level of significance in this study. (a) Compute the proportion of variance using omega-squared. (b) Suppose the pooled sample standard deviation for this test is 0.74. Using this value, compute estimated Cohen's d.arrow_forwardPassive exposure to environmental tobacco smoke has been associated with growth suppression and an increased frequency of respiratory tract infections in normal children. Is this association more pronounced in children with cystic fibrosis? To answer this question, 43 children (18 girls and 25 boys) attending a 2-week summer camp for cystic fibrosis patients were studied (New England Journal of Medicine, Sept. 20, 1990). Among several variables measured were the child's weight percentile (y) and the number of cigarettes smoked per day in the child's home (x). a. For the 18 girls, the coefficient of correlation between y and x was reported as r = –.50. Interpret - this result. b. Refer to part a. The p-value for testing Ho: p = 0 against H;: p # 0 was reported as p = .03. n Interpret this result. c. For the 25 boys, the coefficient of correlation between y and x was reported asr = -.12.

- A recent study investigated whether the number of positive health behaviors (e.g., exercising, eating healthy) is predictive of a person's score on a happiness index, such that as positive health behaviors go up, happiness goes up. The results from the study, which was conducted with 12 people, were as follows: r = 0.63 and SSY = 56.0. What is the MSregression? What is the MSresidual? What is the calculated test statistic? Given the value of your calculated test statistic and your critical test statistic, do you reject the null?arrow_forwardOst watched Ani... Question 2 Y Part 1 of 4 A doctor in Cleveland wants to know whether the average life span for heart disease patients at four hospitals in the city differ. The data below represents the life span, in years, of heart disease patients from each hospital. Perform an ANOVA test with a 9% level of significance to test whether the average life span of heart disease patients in Cleveland differs depending on the hospital that treats them Life Span of Patients Treated at Hospital 1: 7.4, 7.8, 7.7, 7.5, 8, 8.2, 7.8, 8.6, 8, 7.8, 8.3, 8.3, 8, 7.6, 8.2, 7.9, 7.3, 8, 8.6, 7.3, 8.3, 8, 7.8, 8, 7.8, 8.1, 8.1, 8, 7.6, 7.6, 7.7, 7.4, 7.7, 7.8, 7.8 Life Span of Patients Treated at Hospital 2: 7.9, 7.9, 8.2, 8, 8.1, 8.5, 8.3, 8.4, 8, 8.2, 7.7, 8, 8, 7.8, 7.9, 8.1, 8.1, 7.8, 7.9, 8, 8.5, 8.3, 8.2, 8.3, 7.8, 7.9 Life Span of Patients Treated at Hospital 3: 8.2, 8.1, 7.4, 8.7, 8.6, 8.2, 7.9, 8.1, 8.1, 8.3, 8.3, 8, 7.6, 8, 7.4, 8.6, 8.2, 8.2, 7.9, 7.7, 8.1, 7.9, 8, 8.3 Life Span of…arrow_forwardTo illustrate the effects of driving under the influence of alcohol, a police officer brought a DUI simulator to a high school. Student reaction time in an emergency was measured with unimpaired vision and also while wearing special goggles to simulate the effect of alcohol on vision with the following results: Normal: 4.47, 4.24, 4.58, 4.65, 4.31, 4.8, 4.55, 5, 4.79 Impaired: 5.77, 5.67, 5.51, 5.32, 5.83, 5.49, 5.23, 5.61, 5.63 Is there evidence to suggest that there is a difference at alpha = 0.05level of significance.arrow_forward
- Foot ulcers are a common problem for people with diabetes. Higher skin temperatures on the foot indicate an increased risk of ulcers. The article "An Intelligent Insole for Diabetic Patients with the Loss of Protective Sensation" (Kimberly Anderson, M.S. Thesis, Colorado School of Mines), reports measurements of temperatures, in °F, of both feet for 181 diabetic patients. The results are presented in the following table.

Verify that a linear model is appropriate. b. Compute the least-squares line for predicting the right foot temperature from the left foot temperature. If the left foot temperatures of two patients differ by 2 degrees, by how much would you predict their right foot temperatures to differ? Predict the right foot temperature for a patient whose left…arrow_forwardThe cadet is a popular model of sport utility vehicle, known for its relatively high resale value. The bivariate data given below were taken from a sample of sixteen cadets, each bought new two years ago, and each sold used within the past month . For each cadet in the sample, we have listed both the mileage x (in thousands of miles) that the cadet had on its odometer at the time it was sold used and the price y (in thousand dollars) at which the cadet was sold used. The least-squares regression line for these data has equation of y=41.79-0.50x. This line is shown in the scatter plot below. A) for these data, used selling prices that are greater than the mean of the used selling prices tend fo be paired with mileages that are ___ the mean of the mileages ? B) according to the regression equation, for an increase of one thousand miles in cadet mileage, there is a corresponding decrease of how many thousand dollars in the used selling price?arrow_forwardAn experiment was conducted to compare anxiety levels among children induced between looking at snakes and pictures of snakes.

- Above Answer is Wrong, Please Help!arrow_forwardplease do the full problem!arrow_forwardA Canadian study measuring depression level in teens (as reported in the Journal of Adolescence, vol. 25, 2002) randomly sampled 112 male teens and 101 female teens, and scored them on a common depression scale (higher score representing more depression). The researchers suspected that the mean depression score for male teens is higher than for female teens, and wanted to check whether data would support this hypothesis. What conclusion can you draw from the output? The data provide sufficient evidence to reject H0 and to conclude that the mean depression score for male teens is larger than that of female teens. The data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that male and female teens do not differ in mean depression score. The data do not provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean depression score of male teens is larger than that of female teens. The data do not provide sufficient evidence to reject H0, so we accept it, and conclude that male and female teens do…arrow_forward
