Last school year, the student body of a local university consisted of 35% freshmen, 25 % sophomores. 24% juniors, and 16% seniors. A sample of 300 students taken from this year's student body was taken to determine if there had been a significant change in % of students for each classification for this year as compared to last year. This analysis is an example of a O Regression O Goodness of Fit O Analysis of Variance O Test of Independence

A therapist would like to evaluate an intervention for treating depression. A sample of n = 20 depressed clients is obtained, and each person’s level of depression is measured using a standardized questionnaire before they begin the therapy program. Two weeks after therapy, each client’s level of depression is measured again. The average level of depression dropped by 4.0 points following therapy. The difference scores had a variance of 64. Identify and Cclculate the appropriate test statistic.Make sure to report the degrees of freedom for the statistical test (if appropriate). You must show your work to receive full credit. State your conclusions (use a two-tailed test with a = .05 for all tests). Compute an effect size.
The aim of a study is to test the ratio of variances in the weight of two groups of rats being under a certain drugs A (group 1) and B( group 2) .A random sample of 19 rats was selected from group 1and 16 rats from group 2, Then their weight were recorded. The results are shown in the following table n Mean Median sd group 1 19 3.5 3.0 1.05 group 2 16 2.20 2.0 1.15 F15.12.0.05=0.404 F19,16,0.025 =0.386 F16,10,0.025 =0.335 F16,10,0.05 =0.401 F15,12,0.1=0.496 | F 19.16,0.05 =0.451 F10,16,0.025=0.286 F12,15,0.05 =0.382 F16,19,0.025 =0.371 F10,16,0.05 =0.354 F12,15,0.1=0.475 F16,19,0.05 =0.437 Construct a 95% confidence interval for the ratio of the variances.

if a researcher undertook an experiment to evaluate the efficacy of a memory enhancement technique among a cohort of 15 college students. The memory recall abilities of each student were assessed both before and after they underwent training in the memory technique. The observed average increase in memory recall scores following the training was 5 points. The sample variance of the differences within the entire sample was denoted as 8. Does this research question aim to ascertain whether there is a statistically significant elevation in memory recall scores after the implementation of the memory improvement training? To address this question, a one-tailed test with a significance level of (alpha = 0.01) is employed.
A veterinarian wanted to know if there is any difference in the average lifespan of four different breeds of dogs. He took a random sample of five dogs from four different breeds.

The manager of computer operations of a large company wishes to study computer usage of two departments within the company: The Accounting Department, and the Research Department. A random sample of 5 jobs from the Accounting Department and 6 jobs from the Research Department in the last month were selected, and the processing time (in seconds) for each job was recorded. Is there evidence of a difference in the mean processing time between the Accounting Department and the Research Department? t-Test: Two-Sample Assuming Equal Variances Accounting Research Mean 7.8 8.5 Variance 10.7 9.9 Observations 5 6 Pooled Variance 10.25556 Hypothesized Mean Difference 0 df 9 t Stat -0.36098 P(T<=t) one-tail 0.363221 t Critical one-tail 1.833113 P(T<=t) two-tail 0.726443 t Critical two-tail 2.262157 a.

A teacher is interested in assessing whether or not there is the same amount of variance in the scores of a particular type of test between male and female students. She believes that the variance for girls is higher than it is for boys. After grading the test she measures the following: In her class, 15 boys had a variance of 460 and 13 girls had a variance of 1,400. Set up hypotheses to test if the teacher’s assumption that the girls’ variance of scores on the test is higher than the boys’ variance. Perform the appropriate test and fully state your results.

A one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to examine whether students’ scores on a standardized test is a function of the teaching method they received (either lecture only, hands-on learning only, or both together). The ANOVA was significant. Run post hoc tests (by hand!) to determine which pairs of the mean are significantly different. Do the math for each and then explain in what way are they different.

Researchers investigate how the presence of cell phones influence the quality of human interaction. 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. What statistical test is appropriate?
