Hello, An item is rated on a scale of 0 to 3 with 0 being no signs of symptoms  and 3 being the most severe. Is this item categorical or continuous? Is a total score a continuous or categorical measure?

Provide an example of a study, including the variables, level of measurement, and hypotheses, for which a researcher could appropriately choose two different statistics to examine the relations between the same variables. Explain your answer.

What is the name of the test used?

The mean score for first exam in your first organic chemistry class (section A) was 60, with a standard deviation of 5. Your score on the exam was 70. A. How many standard deviations above the mean is your score?

One personality test available on the World Wide Web has a subsection designed to assess the "honesty" of the test-taker. You are interested in the mean score, μ , among the general population on this subsection. The website reports that μ is 145, but you have good reason to believe that μ is less than 145. You decide to do a statistical test. You choose a random sample of people and have them take the personality test. You find that their mean score on the subsection is 139 and that the standard deviation of their scores is 28. Based on this information, complete the parts below. (a) What are the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis H1that should be used for the test? H0: H1: (b) Suppose that you decide to reject the null hypothesis. What sort of error might you be making?   ▼(Choose one)   (c) Suppose the true mean score among the general population on the subsection is 136. Fill in the blanks to describe a Type II error. A Type II error…

In a data set with 25 scores, if the value 16 occurs 12 times, what is its relative frequency?

Imagine you are in charge of reviewing applications for your academic institution. As a preliminary measure, you want to review only the top 25% of applicants on the basis of standardized test scores. How does calculating the z-score provide additional information regarding how each subject did overall? Provide specific examples of how you would use the information and interpret the scores.

A statistician changes her level of significance from .001 to .05.  What impact will this change have on her risk of making a Type I and Type II error?  Is the change in the level of significance a good decision?  Why or why not?

One personality test available on the World Wide Web has a subsection designed to assess the "honesty" of the test-taker. You are interested in the mean score, μ, among the general population on this subsection. The website reports that μ is 140, but you have good reason to believe that μ differs from 140. You decide to do a statistical test. You choose a random sample of people and have them take the personality test. You find that their mean score on the subsection is 146 and that the standard deviation of their scores is 22. Based on this information, complete the parts below. A. What are the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis H1 that should be used for the test? H0: H1: B. Suppose you decide to reject the null hypothesis. Would you be making a type I or type II error?
