Lactose intolerance causes difficulty digesting dairy products that contain lactose (milk sugar). It is particularly common among people of African and Asian ancestry. In the United States (ignoring other groups and people who consider themselves to belong to more than one race), 82% of the population is White, 14% is Black, and 4% is Asian. Moreover, 15% of Whites, 70% of Blacks, and 90% of Asians are lactose intolerant. (a) What percentage of the entire population is lactose intolerant? Give your answer to one decimal place. Avoid rounding within calculations. percentage of the population who are lactose intolerant:     (b) What percentage of people who are lactose intolerant are Asian? Give your answer to one decimal place. Avoid rounding within calculations. percentage of people who are lactose intolerant are Asian:

Avobenzone is one of the active ingredients in several commercially available sunscreens. It can be absorbed into the bloodstream when sunscreen is applied to the skin. The Food and Drug Administration has expressed concern about the safety of absorbing too much avobenzone. Researchers recruited 24 healthy volunteers to investigate avobenzone absorption for four different commercially available sunscreens: two sprays, a lotion, and a cream. Do the types of sunscreens (spray, lotion, and cream) differ in terms of how much avobenzone is absorbed into the blood? Subjects were randomly assigned to one of the four sunscreens, with six subjects for each. Subjects had 2 milligrams of sunscreen per 1 cm? applied to 75% of their body surface area (area outside of normal swimwear) four times per day for four days. The amount of avobenzone absorbed into the bloodstream (in nanograms per milliliter ap-plied, ng/mL) after 150 hours was then measured for each subject. For the purpose of analyzing…

A company wants to study the effects a new drug has on alleviating pain.  Some patients at doctor’s office are selected to be in the study.  The patients will be randomly assigned to take the new drug or the old drug.  They will be monitored to see when the pain goes away. The group getting the old drug is called what? A. Experiemental Group     B. Control Group     C. Dependent Group     D. Independent Group

According to the United States Census Bureau (2011 data), there are approximately 55,500,000 married couple households in the United State. Every married-couple household is classified into one of three categories:• both native which means that both spouses were born in the U.S.• both foreign which means that both spouses were born outside of the U.S.• one native, one foreign which means that one spouse was born in the U.S. and one was born outside of the U.S..If 79.5% of married couple households are both native and 13.2% are both foreign, then(a) what percentage of married couple households are one native, one foreign  % married couple households are one native, one foreign(b) how many married couple households are one native, one foreign?  married couple households are one native, one foreign

Throughout the world, women are targets of harassment, discrimination, violence, and evenmurder due to perceptions of their clothing choices. Some women are targeted because theydress to religious and some women are targeted because they do not dress religious enough. Aresearcher was interested in determining if countries that had more restrictions on how womendress (i.e., how many laws regulate women’s clothing choices?) also had more women reportingsocial hostility from others (e.g., discrimination, abuse, violence). What statistical test should beused to determine if there is a relationship between number of women’s clothing regulations andthe number of reports of social hostility? Assume parametric assumptions are met. A. Is this a relationship test or a difference test? Explain your rationale. B. What would be the appropriate statistical test? Explain your rationale.

A local health department believes that a store is merchandising its cereal aisle in a way that puts sugary cereal brands at eye level for children. The store claims that it is not considering sugar content and is stocking the shelves based on other factors. An inspector visited the store and recorded the sugar content per serving listed on the boxes (sugar content for each box is listed under the shelf where that box of cereal is located). Shelf 1 Shelf 2 Shelf 3 Shelf 4 7 13 6 10 8. 5 14 7 8 11 11 10 11 3 a) What are the treatment groups, and how many experimental units are there per treatment? b) If instead of using the content listed on the box, the inspector sampled from multiple boxes of each brand of cereal and tested them for sugar content. How many experimental units were there be if there were 10 boxes per brand on the shelf? Explain your answer. [hint: all the boxes for each brand will be in one place] c) State the null hypothesis and create an ANOVA table based on sugar…

A research wants to determine if pre-natal exposure to the hormones in birth control pills alters the sex makeup of midshipman fish populations (which are typically half male and half female).Specifically, the researcher wishes to test the hypothesis that exposure to hormones will increase the number of females in the population.The researcher exposes a group of pregnant midshipman fish to birth control hormones and records the sex of the first 13 offspring birthed.They then observe that 11 are female.Use a sign test and a alpha of .05 to test the indicated hypothesis.What is the critical value?
