Use the appropriate hypothesis to test for the independence of the two independent variables presented here at the 5% significance level to ensure confounding has not influenced the study’s results.

Subjects are randomly selected from a population and divided into an experimental group that is asked to leave their phones in the front of the room and a control group that are not asked to leave their cell phones at the front of the room. Subjects are left alone for 10 minutes and then asked to take a survey designed to measure quality of interactions they had with others in the experiment.

- I need the answer to this question, please? An article included a summary of findings regarding the use of SAT I scores, SAT II scores, and high school grade point average (GPA) to predict first-year college GPA. The article states that "among these, SAT II scores are the best predictor, explaining 17 percent of the variance in first-year college grades. GPA was second at 15.5 percent, and SAT I was last at 13.5 percent." If the data from this study were used to fit a least squares line with y = first-year college GPA and x = high school GPA, what would the value of r2 have been? r2 =arrow_forwardIt is assumed that standardized test scores should be correlated with students' classroom performance. One would expect that students who consistently perform well in the classroom (on tests, quizzes, etc.) would also perform well on a standardized test scored from 0-100 (with 100 indicating high achievement). A teacher decides to examine this hypothesis. At the end of the academic year, she collects the following data for her (admittedly small) class: Standardized test score Overall GPA 56 1.8 1 73 2.6 2 78 2.9 3 83 2.9 4 85 3.0 5 rows x 2 columns What is your best guess for the expected GPA of a student who scored a 88 on the standardized test? number (rtol=0.01, atol=0.0001) Determine a 95% confidence interval for the expected GPA of a student who scored a 76 on the standardized test.

- In an observational study it was found that people who had received the flu shot this year had better blood pressure readings, on average, than people who did not. Can it be claimed that the flu shot is the cause of the lower overall blood pressure? Why or why not?arrow_forward2. A law school releases admissions data from past years. The median score on the LSAT for accepted students was 167. (Scores on the LSAT range from 120 to 180 points.) The first and third quartiles of LSAT scores for accepted students were 155 and 173 points, respectively. (a) Roughly sketch a histogram for what the LSAT scores for accepted students might look like based on the information given. (b) Suppose you are applying to this law school, and you read about an experiment for a new LSAT test-preparation course. Two hundred students participated. Of these, 100 were randomly chosen to take the course. They got an average score of 166 points, with an SD of 17 points. The other 100 students did not take the course and studied on their own. They got an average score of 165 points, with an SD of 18 points. Calculate the two-sample z test statistic and p-value for the null hypothesis that the course does not affect scores.arrow_forwardCan you please help with this problem.arrow_forward
