A researcher obtained a random sample of n= 60 students to determine if there were any significant preferences among 3 brands of colas. Each student tasted all three brands and then selected his/her favorite.  The frequency distribution was: Brand A = 28, Brand B = 14, Brand C = 18.  Do the data indicate any preference among the three brands? (Test with α = .05)

A random sample of n1 = 157 people ages 16 to 19 were taken from the island of Oahu, Hawaii, and 12 were found to be high school dropouts. Another random sample of n2 = 129 people ages 16 to 19 were taken from Sweetwater County, Wyoming, and 6 were found to be high school dropouts. Do these data indicate that the population proportion of high school dropouts on Oahu is different (either way) from that of Sweetwater County? Use a 1% level of significance. (a) What is the level of significance?   What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Test the difference p1 − p2. Do not use rounded values. Round your final answer to two decimal places.) (c) Find (or estimate) the P-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Use SPSS for this Application Exercise: A health psychologist want to investigate whether there is a relationship between sex and food preference. The psychologist gave participants a questionnaire that asked which food the participants would choose to eat given the choice. What can be concluded with an a of 0.05? Food Sex spaghetti carrots donuts female 20 16 21 male 25 18 i. What is the appropriate test statistic? --Select- Compute the statistic selected in a): ii Obtain/compute the appropriate values to make a decision about Ho- p-value = Decision: -Select-- i Compute the corresponding effect size(s) and indicate magnitude(s). If not appropriate, input and/or select "na" below. Effect Size = ]: Magnitude: -Select-- iv I Make an interpretation based on the results. O There is a significant negative relationship between sex and food preference. O There is a significant food preference difference between sex. O Food preference and sex are independent.

Imagine a researcher asks a sample of five people to drive two types of cars and rate each of them on a scale of 1 to 25. The researcher wants to know: Is there is a difference in the ratings of the two types of cars. Below are the data collected: Type A: 20, 10, 11, 23, 7 Type B: 10, 11, 4, 12, 1 what type of T Test would be appropriate

In a study comparing banks in two countries, a sample of 142 matched pairs of banks was formed. Each pair contained one bank from country x and one from country y. The pairings were made in such a way that the two members were as similar as possible in regard to such factors as size and age. The ratio of total loans outstanding to total assets was calculated for each of the banks. For this ratio, the sample mean difference (country x - country y) was 0.0579, and the sample standard deviation of the differences was 0.3086. Test, against a two-sided alternative, the null hypothesis that the two population means are equal. (Assume α = 0.01.) Click the icon to view the critical values of the Student's t distribution.

In a one way ANOVA the following table is obtained: ANOVA Source: Factor, df= 4, SS=48.0, MS= 12.0, F= 0 Source: Error, df=10, SS=30.0, MS= 3.0, Source: total, df=14, SS= 78.0 Test for equal factor means using x=.05.

A biologist wants to determine if different temperatures (15oC, 25oC, or 35oC) and amounts of sunlight (partial or full) will affect the growth of plants. He will test each combination of temperature and sunlight by randomly assigning 15 plants to each of the combinations. What type of sampling is described in this study? one sample paired data two samples more than two samples
