Aldosterone is a hormone involved in maintaining fluid balance in the body. In a veterinary study, six dogs with heart failure were treated with the drug Captopril, and plasma concentrations of aldosterone were measured before and after the treatment. The results are given in the table below.34 Consider a sign test, using a nondirectional

An automobile dealer conducted a test to determine if the time in minutes needed to complete a minor engine tune-up depends on whether a computerized engine analyzer or an electronic analyzer is used. Because tune-up time varies among compact, intermediate, and full-sized cars, the three types of cars were used as blocks in the experiment. The data obtained follow. Analyzer Computerized Electronic Compact 50 41 Car Intermediate 56 44 Full-sized 62 47 Use a = 0.05 to test for any significant differences. State the null and alternative hypotheses.

A researcher would like to examine how the chemical tryptophan, contained in foods such as turkey, can affect mental alertness.  A sample of n = 9 college students is obtained and each student’s performance on a familiar video game is measured before and after eating a traditional Thanksgiving dinner including roast turkey.  The average score dropped by M = 14 points after the meal with SS = 1152 for the difference scores. A. Is there is significant difference in performance before eating versus after eating?  Use a                two-tailed test with α = .05.             SMD = ___________________________             tcritical =     ________________________             tcalculated =    ________________________                  Decision = _______________________             B. Compute r2 to measure the size of the effect.             r2  = _____________________________   C. Write a sentence demonstrating how the outcome of the test and the measure of effect                size would…

The well-known psychologist Dr. Elbod has established what he calls his Generalized Anxiety Scale (GAS). The GAS, which is a scale from 0 to 10, measures the "general anxiety" of an individual, with higher GAS scores corresponding to more anxiety. (Dr. Elbod's assessment of anxiety is based on a variety of measurements, both physiological and psychological.) We're interested in making predictions about individuals' sleep behavior based on their GAS scores. The bivariate data below give the GAS score (denoted by x) and the number of hours of sleep last night (denoted by y) for each of the fifteen adults participating in a study. A scatter plot of the data is shown in Figure 1. Also given is the product of the GAS score and the sleep time for each of the fifteen adults. (These products, written in the column labelled "xy", may aid in calculations.)
