Question

Transcribed Image Text:How is the hatching of water python eggs influenced by the temperature of the snake's nest? Researchers randomly assigned
newly laid eggs to one of three water temperatures: hot, neutral, or cold. Hot duplicates the extra warmth provided by the mother
python, and cold duplicates the absence of the mother.
The table shows the result of the experiment.
We want to test
Ho: The distribution of hatching status is the same for eggs like these that are placed in cold water, neutral water, or hot water.
Ha: There is a difference in the distribution of hatching status is the same for eggs like these that are placed in cold water,
neutral water, or hot water.
The researchers will use a chi-square test for homogeneity to analyze the findings and calculates a P-value of 0.4267.

Which of the following is an appropriate conclusion,
using a = 0.10?
O
Because the P-value of 0.4267 > a = 0.10, we fail
to reject Ho. We do not have convincing evidence
that there is a difference in the true proportion of
eggs like these that hatch in cold, neutral, or hot
water.
Because the P-value of 0.4267 > a = 0.10, we fail
to reject Ho. We do not have convincing evidence
that there is a difference in the proportion of eggs
that hatched in cold, neutral, or hot water.
Because the P-value of 0.4267> a = 0.10, we
accept Ho. We have convincing evidence that true
proportion of eggs like these that hatch in cold,
neutral, or hot water is the same.
Because the P-value of 0.4267 > a = 0.10, we fail
to reject Ho. We do not have convincing evidence
that true proportion of eggs like these that hatch in
cold, neutral, or hot water is the same.
Because the P-value of 0.4267> a = 0.10, we
reject Ho in favor of Ha. We have convincing
evidence that there is a difference in the true
proportion of eggs like these that hatch in cold,
neutral, or hot water.

- Dr. Mackintosh believes a new olfactory therapy would be more successful in promoting weight loss among obese patients. His patients are first weighed and then randomly assigned to olfactory therapy, dance therapy, or a control condition. At the end of the three weeks, the amount of weight lost is recorded. The results indicate no significant difference in the amount of weight lost between the three conditions.
