A researcher uncovers that there is a significant interaction between the factor of marital status (i.e., married or non-married) and participant sex (i.e., male or female) regarding well-being. A researcher decides to compare the difference in well-being between married men and women. What would be the null hypothesis for this comparison?     a. µMale ≠ µFemale for married individuals   b. µMale ≠ µFemale for non-married individuals   c. µMale = µFemale for non-married individuals   d. µMale = µFemale for married individuals

Q1: Placebo effect of exercise In a high-profile research study, Crum and Langer (2007) performed an experiment to test whether the relationship between physical exercise and health is impacted by one's mindset: in other words, if there is any "placebo effect" of exercise. A sample of 84 randomly selected hotel workers in the United States were placed either into a treatment group (n=44) or control group (n=40) depending on which hotel they worked at. The treatment group was given information demonstrating how their work is good physical exercise, while the control group was not given this information. They measured the body mass index (BMI) for each worker before the experiment and again four weeks after the experiment. a. Are the treatment group and control group independent of each other, and if so why? b. Now consider the treatment group alone: are the measurements of BMI taken before and after the experiment independent of each other, and if so why? c. What is the most appropriate…

Productivity is the key driver of wages and one of the most importantdeterminants of living standards. The British Chambers of Commercecommissioned research into understanding whether labour productivity in theautomotive manufacturing sector in England and Ireland were the same ordifferent. The researchers collected data on a random sample of 8 firms inEngland and 4 in Ireland and recorded productivity in units of value added (£)per hour. It is assumed that firm-level productivity has a normal distribution.The following data were collected:Ireland 47 56 43 68England 39 50 39 45 50 43 35 43(i) Set up appropriate null and alternative hypotheses and conduct a test ofthe hypotheses of equal mean productivity in Ireland and England at 5 percent significance level under the assumption of unknown but equalpopulation variances.
