Question
A researcher is conducting a chi-square test for independence to evaluate the relationship between gender and preference for three different designs for a new automobile. Each individual in a sample of n = 30 males and n = 30 females selects a favorite design from the three choices. If the researcher obtains a chi-square statistic of χ2 = 4.81, what is the appropriate statistical decision (conclusion) for the test (please indicate df and your decisions with α = .05 and α = .01 by reporting critical values from the relevant table)?

- The leader of two postpartum women’s support groups is interested in the depression levels of the women in her groups. She administers the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) screening test to the members of her groups. The CES-D is a 20-question self-test that measures depressive feelings and behaviors during the previous week. The mean depression level from the screening test for the 10 women in the first group is μ₁ = 16; the mean depression level for the 14 women in the second group is μ₂ = 10. Without calculating the weighted mean for the combined group, you know that the weighted mean is:arrow_forwardIs the proportion of wildfires caused by humans in the south higher than the proportion of wildfires caused by humans in the west? 356 of the 579 randomly selected wildfires looked at in the south were caused by humans while 322 of the 597 randomly selected wildfires looked at the west were caused by humans.

A sample of 24 newly sprouted bean plants is obtained. The plants are randomly assigned to each experimental condition (6 per group). The experimental conditions are: rock music, heavy metal, country, and classical. The dependent variable is the height of each plant after 2 weeks. The ANOVA results are summarized as follows: MSB = 10 and SSW =40.

- A researcher is interested whether a new drug is effective in changing patients' cholesterol levels. She divided 33 patients into 3 groups according to the dosage the patient received. The cholesterol levels of all patients are measured and used as the data for the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). If she reported the test statistic F = 2.1 What is the degree of freedom for the numerator of the F statistic? What is the degree of freedom for the denominator of the F statistic? What is the P-value of the F-test? (Round to 3 decimals) Given the significance level of 0.01, what can she conclude from the test? *The patients in differnt groups have simliar average cholesterial levels. The drug made no difference. *At least one group of patients have an average cholesterol level that is different from the other groups. The drug may have an effect.arrow_forwardA study was conducted of 90 adult male patients following a new treatment for congestive heart failure. One of the variables measured on the patients was the increase in exercise capacity (in minutes) over a 4-week treatment The previous treatment regime had produced an average increase of μ = 2 minutes. The researchers wanted to evaluate whether the new treatment had increased the value of μ in comparison to the previous treatment. The sample data yielded ?̅ = 2.17 and ? = 1.05: Using α = 05, what conclusions can you draw about the research hypothesis?arrow_forward
