4. Data from the year 2012 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) survey includes laboratory measurements on a random sample of more than four-thousand 18 - 65 year old persons in the United States. The following boxplots display the distribution of blood lead levels (mg/dL) for this sample, separately for males and females. The accompanying tables display summary statistics of the sample values.

2.- The journal Behavioral Research in Accounting published a study of Machiavellian traits in accountants. Machiavellian describes negative character traits that include manipulation, cunning, duplicity, deception, and bad faith. A questionnaire by email was administered to a random sample of 700 accounting alumni of a large southwestern university; however, due to nonresponse and incomplete answers, only 198 questionnaires could be analyzed. Several variables were measured, including age, gender, level of education, income, job satisfaction score, and Machiavellian (“Mach") rating score. The research findings suggest that Machiavellian behavior is not required to achieve success in the accounting profession. a) What is the populatidn of interest to the researcher? Answer: Business accountants in the southwest Accountants in general Accounting alumni from this university Business alumni from this university b) What inference was made by the researcher? Answer: Accountants are always…

5. In the United States, there is a strong relationship between education and smoking: well-educated people are less likely to smoke. Does a similar relationship hold in France? To find out, researchers recorded the level of education and smoking status of a random sample of 459 French men aged 20 to 60 years.36 The two-way table below displays the data. Is there convincing evidence of an association between smoking status and educational level among French men aged 20 to 60 years?

1. College students Suppose a recent study of 1,000 college students in the U.S. found that 8% of them do not use Facebook. Which of the following describes the population for this example? 2. A survey question that starts out with the phrase “Do you agree that...” is an example of what? 3. Which of the following defines what is meant by a control group in an experiment? 4. Which of the following studies can result in researchers extending the results inappropriately because the sample doesn’t represent the intended population?

The following is based on information from The Wolf in the Southwest: The Making of an Endangered Species, by David E. Brown (University of Arizona Press). Before 1918, the proportion of female wolves in the general population of all southwestern wolves was about 50%. However, after 1918, southwestern cattle ranchers began a widespread effort to destroy wolves. In a recent sample of 37 wolves, there were only 11 females. One theory is that male wolves tend to return sooner than females to their old territories, where their predecessors were exterminated. Do these data indicate that the population proportion of female wolves is now less than 50% in the region? Use α = 0.01. (a) What is the level of significance? State the null and alternate hypotheses. O Ho: P 0.5 O Ho: P = 0.5; H₁: p 5 and nq > 5. O The Student's t, since np > 5 and ng > 5. The standard normal, since np < 5 and nq < 5. O The Student's t, since np < 5 and nq < 5. What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round…

"Bullying." according to noted expert Dan Olweus, "poisons the educational environment and affects the learning of every child." Bullying and victimization are evident as early as preschool, with the problem peaking in middle school. Suppose you are interested in the emotional well-being of not only the victims but also bystanders, bullies, and those who bully but who are also victims (bully-victims). You decide to measure depression in a group of victims and a group of bully-victims using a 26-item, 3-point depression scale. Assume scores on the depression scale are normally distributed and that the variances of the depression scores are the same among victims and bully-victims. The group of 25 victims scored an average of 25.3 with a sample standard deviation of 9 on the depression scale. The group of 23 bully-victims scored an average of 20.5 with a sample standard deviation of 8 on the same scale. You do not have any presupposed assumptions about whether victims or bully-victims…

4. Straight As now, healthy later A study by Pamela Herd of the University of Wisconsin-Madison found a link between high-school grades and health. Analyzing data from the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study, which has tracked the lives of thousands of Wisconsin high-school graduates from the class of 1957, Herd found that students with higher grade-point averages were more likely to say they were in excellent or very good health in their early 60s. Does this mean people will live healthier lives if they increase their GPA? Explain.47
