Transcribed Image Text:Many golfers wear wrist bracelets containing magnets
because they claim the magnets improve balance and
the length of shots played off the tee. A golfer would like
What is the response variable in this experiment?

volunteers who play golf to participate in an experiment.
Half of the golfers are randomly assigned to wear a
bracelet with magnets, while the other half wear a
bracelet without magnets. Each golfer plays normally for
a month, after which the length of their shots in a
subsequent round is recorded.

- In a science fair project, Emily conducted an experiment in which she tested professional touch therapists to see if they could sense her energy field. She flipped a coin to select either her right hand or her left hand, and then she asked the therapists to identify the selected hand by placing their hand just under Emily's hand without seeing it and without touching it. Among 354 trials, the touch therapists were correct 170 times. Complete parts (a) through (d). a. Given that Emily used a coin toss to select either her right hand or her left hand, what proportion of correct responses would be expected if the touch therapists made random guesses? nothing (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.) b. Using Emily's sample results, what is the best point estimate of the therapists' success rate? nothing (Round to three decimal places as needed.) c.

To get some insight relating to this question, Professor Jay randomly selected nm = 1142 New York City high school freshmen. Of these, xm = 803 said they had at least one cup of coffee before going to school. Professor Jay also randomly selected nf = 1012 New York City high school seniors. Of these, xf = 760 said they had at least one cup of coffee before going to school. Suppose Pm is the true proportion of New York City high school freshmen who have a drink of coffee before going to school. Suppose pf is the true proportion of New York City high school seniors who have a drink of coffee before going to school. Pm and pf are unknown and we will examine relations between them based upon Professor Jay's samples. Let pmhat be the sample proportion of high school freshmen who said they had at least one cup of coffee before going to school.

She flipped a coin to select either her right hand or her left hand, and then she asked the therapists to identify the selected hand by placing their hand just under Emily's hand without seeing it and without touching it. Among 329 trials, the touch therapists were correct 157 times. Complete parts (a) through (d). a.

Three samples of rats are selected with n=5 in each sample. One group gets no drug, one group gets s small dose, and the third group gets a large dose. The psychologist records the activity level for each animal. The data from this experiment are presented below. No drug Small dose Large dose 5, 3 , 1 , 1 , 5 5, 5, 9, 6, 5 10, 12, 9, 6, 8 =3, SS=16 =6, SS=12 =9, SS=20 Do these data indicate any significant differences among the three groups? Test with α=0.05. Compute the effect size and interpret the result.arrow_forwardStudents at a major university believe they can save money buying textbooks online rather than at the local bookstores. In order to test this theory, they randomly sampled 25 textbooks on the shelves of the local bookstores. The students then found the "best" available price for the same textbooks via online retailers. The prices for the textbooks are listed in the following table. Based on the data, is it less expensive for the students to purchase textbooks from the online retailers than from local bookstores? Use a = 0.01. Let prices at local bookstores represent Population 1 and prices at online retailers represent Population 2.

In the local area there are three main retailers: W-Mart, Tag, and URToy. For each retailer, the consumer group randomly selected 5 customers, and asked them to rate how expensive they thought the toy was on a 1-to-10 scale (1= not expensive, to 10 = very expensive). The toy was priced the same at all retail stores. 1. What kind of statistical test should be used to test the consumer group's research goal, assuming that the researcher wanted to use the 1-to-10 scale as a numerical interval measure? A. Repeated-measures t-test B. One-way Independent Measures ANOVA C. Repeated-measures ANOVA D. Independent-measures t-test 2. State the hypothesis that aims to test the consumer group’s research goal (i.e., what is H0 and HA).arrow_forwardIn a science fair project, Emily conducted an experiment in which she tested professional touch therapists to see if they could sense her energy field.
