4. There are many ways to measure the reading ability of children. Research designed to improve reading performance is dependent on good measures of the outcome. One frequently used test is the DRP, the Degree of Reading Power. A researcher suspects that the mean scoreu of all third-graders in Henrico County Schools is different from the national mean, which is 32. To test her suspicion, she administers the DRP to an SRS of 44 Henrico County third-grade students. The distribution of scores is summarized in the Minitab output below.

Cris Turlock owns and manages a small business in San Francisco, California. The business provides breakfast and brunch food, via carts parked along sidewalks, to people in the business district of the city. Being an experienced businessperson, Cris provides incentives for the salespeople operating the food carts. This year, she plans to offer monetary bonuses to her salespeople based on their individual mean daily sales. Her first task is to see if there is a significant difference in the mean daily sales among the different salespeople. She chooses a "sample" of days for each salesperson and records the sales for each day. She then runs a one-way, independent-samples ANOVA test to determine whether or not she can conclude that at least one salesperson's performances is significantly different from the others. (Otherwise, she'll split the bonuses evenly among all the salespeople.) In her ANOVA, the "groups" are the different salespeople, and the variable of interest is the daily sales…
The correlation between mean 2015 Mathematics SAT scores and mean 2015 Writing SAT scores for all 50 states and the District of Columbia is 0.983. Would you expect the correlation between the mean state SAT scores for these two tests to be lower, about the same, or higher than the correlation between the scores of individuals on these two tests? Explain your answer.

A contributor for the local newspaper is writing an article for the weekly fitness section. To prepare for the story, she conducts a study to compare the exercise habits of people who exercise in the morning to the exercise habits of people who work out in the afternoon or evening. She selects three different health centers from which to draw her samples. The 57 people she sampled who work out in the morning have a mean of 4.8 hours of exercise each week. The 56 people surveyed who exercise in the afternoon or evening have a mean of 4.2 hours of exercise each week. Assume that the weekly exercise times have a population standard deviation of 0.8 hours for people who exercise in the morning and 0.3 hours for people who exercise in the afternoon or evening. Let Population 1 be people who exercise in the morning and Population 2 be people who exercise in the afternoon or evening. Step 1 of 2: Construct a 95 % confidence interval for the true difference between the mean amounts of time…
When dating someone, what matters more to you: looks or personality? This question was the focus of a community college student’s class project for an introductory statistics course. She devised a 25-point scale. An answer of 1 means “personality matters most and looks don’t matter at all.” A score of 25 means “looks matter most and personality does not matter at all.” Her hypothesis is that the mean scores for males and females will differ, but she does not have an opinion about which population will have a higher mean score. Here are her hypotheses. H0: μ1 − μ2 = 0 Ha: μ1 − μ2 ≠ 0 She chose a random sample of 10 classes from the schedule at Los Medanos College and distributed surveys in those classes. Survey respondents totaled 170 students: 85 females and 85 males. We used her data to run a hypothesis test for a difference in two population means. Here are the results: he results: t df p Cohen's d Gender -4.11 168 0.0000 -0.629 Which conclusion is the most accurate…
In a study looking at undergraduate students’ perceptions of sense of community at their university, a researcher hypothesizes that the farther away students live from campus (in miles), the less they feel they are part of the university community. The researcher collected data for the following two variables – miles from campus and part of community (rating from 1-10 of how much they felt part of the university community). Proposed analysis (the kind of test) and why you chose the analysis: Scales of measurement (i.e., nominal, ordinal, interval or ratio) for variable(s) that will be used in the analysis: Null and alternative hypotheses (based on context of study) in symbols: Test assumptions and make a decision Inferential statistic(s) and p-value(s): Decision: conclusion Based on your decision, identify and explain the type of error you could be making with respect to the conclusions of the study
