Does spending time online lead to greater unhappiness? To investigate this question, a researcher administers a depression inventory to a group of 45 individuals. The researcher divides these participants into three groups of low, medium, and high based on the data collected from their smartphones. The appropriate statistical test is a(n): a. independent-samples t test b. one-way within-groups ANOVA c. one-way between-groups ANOVA d. factorial ANOVA

A recent article published by the Wall Street Journal said the Cincinnati airport had the most expensive airfares among the largest airports in the US. While they had some statistics to support this statement, a statistician decided to investigate further. A sample of 46 flights originating in Cincinnati was selected, and the round-trip airfare for each flight was recorded. The sample data is summarized in the StatCrunch output below: Summary statistics: Column n Mean Median Std. dev.

A standardized exam consists of three parts: math, writing, and critical reading. Sample data showing the math and writing scores for a sample of 12 students who took the exam follow. Student Math Writing 1 540 474 2 432 380 3 528 457 4 574 612 5 448 420 6 502 520 7 480 430 8 499 459 9 610 615 10 572 535 11 390 329 12 593 613   Use a 0.05 level of significance and test for a difference between the population mean for the math scores and the population mean for the writing scores. (Use math score − writing score.)   1. Calculate the test statistic. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)   2. Calculate the p-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) p-value =

Below indicate whether the appropriate test would be an independent t-test, dependent t-test, One-way ANOVA, or z-test. A researcher studying psychological well-being between children from single-parent vs. two-parent families recruits 20 children from two-parent families and 20 children from single-parent families and measures their psychological adjustment.

The Interpersonal Reactivity Index is a survey designed to assess four different types of empathy. One type of empathy, called, Empathetic Concern, measures the tendency to feel sympathy and compassion for people who are less fortunate. The index ranges from 0 (less empathetic) to 28 (more empathetic). The following data, representing random samples of 16 males and 16 females, are consistent with results reported in psychological studies. Boxplots show that it is reasonable to assume that the populations are approximately normal. 13 8 22 20 20 12 15 18 Males 16 13 26 21 23 25 15 23 17 22 Females 20 26 25 28 24 16 19 23 21 23 15 26 19 25 Can you conclude at the 0.05 significance level that there is a difference in mean empathy scores between men and women?

Twenty-eight college faculty at Acme Looniversity who volunteered for a fitness program were divided into low-fitness and high-fitness groups based on a physical examination. The subjects then took a Personality Factor Questionnaire. Below are the data for the "ego strength" measurement based on the questionnaire. Acme Looniversity Data Group Fitness Sample size Average Standard deviation 1 Low 14 4.6 0.69 2 High 14 6.4 0.43 Assuming the data for Group 1 and 2 are independent of each other and are both normally distributed, compute a 90% confidence interval for the difference between the two means. Round your answer to 3 decimal places. What conclusion can you draw? Group of answer choices (-2.173,-1.427), Group 1 is bigger (-1.923,-1.677), Group 2 is bigger (-2.173,-1.427), Group 2 is bigger (-1.923,-1.677), no conclusion (-1.923,-1.677), Group 1 is bigger

2) A researcher suspects that there is a relationship between substance use and sexual activity among single college students.  What statistical analysis tests would you use for this?

A hypertension trial is mounted and 12 participants are randomly assigned to receive either a new treatment or a placebo.  Each participant takes the assigned medication and their systolic blood pressure (SBP) is recorded after 6 months on the assigned treatment.  The data are as follows.   Placebo New Treatment 132 114 143 119 148 121 144 124 155 126 160 128  Is there a difference in mean SBP between treatments? Run the test at a 5% level of significance. Give each of the following to receive full credit : 1) the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses; 2) the appropriate test; 3) the decision rule; 4) the calculation of the test statistic ; and 5) your conclusion including a comparison to alpha or the critical value. You MUST show your work to receive full credit. Partial credit is available.

Listed below are times (in minutes and seconds) that a statistics instructor recorded while riding a bicycle for five laps through each mile of a 3-mile loop. Use a 0.10 significance level to test the claim that the samples are from populations with the same median. What do the data suggest? Mile 1 Mile 2 Mile 3 3:18 3:25 3:31 3:14 3:30 3:31 3:15 3:25 3:35 3:20 3:26 3:28 3:16 3:24 3:27 First determine the null and alternative hypotheses. Choose the correct answer below. O A. Ho: The samples come from populations with equal medians. H₁: The samples come from populations with medians that are not all equal. O B. Ho: The samples come from populations with means that are not all equal. H₁: The samples come from populations with equal means. O C. Ho: The samples come from populations with medians that are not all equal. H₁: The samples come from populations with equal medians. O D. Ho: The samples come from populations with equal means. H₁: The samples come from populations with means that…
