n a recent study, 50 males used a new weight-loss supplement, and all but 14 of them experienced weight loss after two weeks. In the same study, 100females used the same supplement, and all but 14 of them experienced weight loss after two weeks. Fill in the blanks below to make the most reasonable statement possible.   The new weight-loss supplement was less effective on ▼(Choose one) in the study. That is because only  %      of them lost weight after two weeks, whereas %  of the ▼(Choose one) lost weight after two weeks.

An experiment investigated the effect of length and repetition of TV ads on students choosing to eat at Del Taco. All 60 students watched a 40-minute television program that included ads for Del Taco. Some students saw a 30-second commerical; others a 90-second commerical. The same commerical was shown either 1, 3, or 5 times during the program. After the viewing, each student was asked to rate their craving for Del Taco on a scale of 0 to 10. What is the response variable?A. 1, 3, or 5 commercials during the 40-minute television programB. craving for Del Taco on a scale of 0 to 10C. 60 studentsD. 30-second and 90-second commericialsE. 40-minute television program

Among US Households, only 15% have a landline phone.  A telemarketing campaign will involve a SRS of 2250 households.  Let X be the number of households that have a landline phone among the 2250 households randomly chosen.   What is the mean of X? Do Not Round.

There are 15 numbers on a list, and the smallest number is changed from 4 to 0.4.a) Is it possible to determine by how much the mean changes? If so, by how much does it change?b) Is it possible to determine the value of the mean after the change? If so, what is the value?c) Is it possible to determine by how much the median changes? If so, by how much does it change?d) Is it possible to determine by how much the standard deviation changes? If so, by how much does it change

A consumer group wanted to determine if there was a difference in customer perceptions about prices for a specific type of toy depending on where the toy was purchased.  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).

We are interested in looking at the effect of a baseball player’s free agent status on their salary. We look at 337 baseball players and categorize them as either having a high salary (above 2 million) or not, and as either being free agents or not. ------------------------------ You also wonder if having a high batting average affects the salary of baseball players. You classify all 370 baseball players as having a high batting average if it is over .300.   1. The given χ2test table gives many test statistics. The row we want to look at is labeled Pearson Chi-Square. Give the test statistic, the degrees of freedom, and the p-value. 2. At a significance level of .05, what can you conclude in the context of this problem?

What is the difference between an observational study and an experiment? Choose the correct answer below. O A. In an experiment, a treatment is applied to part of a population and responses are observed. In an observational study, a researcher measures characteristics of interest of a part of a population but does not change existing conditions. O B. In an experiment, a researcher measures characteristics of interest of an entire population but does not change existing conditions. In an observational study, a treatment is applied to an entire population and responses are observed. O C. In an experiment, a treatment is applied to an entire population and responses are observed. In an observational study, a researcher measures characteristics of interest of an entire population but does not change existing conditions. O D. In an experiment, a researcher measures characteristics of interest of a part of a population but does not change existing conditions. In an observational study, a…

A health psychologist investigated dietary differences between middle class Hispanic and Black women. One dietary practice examined was the consumption of mutagen-containing meats (defined as smoked, grilled, or fried meat). Based on the contingency table below, is there a reason to believe there a difference between women with respect to their consumption of mutagen-containing meat servings per day. What can be concluded with an a of 0.01? Ethnicity Мeat Hispanic Black 0-1 68 75 serving 2-3 45 19 serving 4+ 11 37 serving a) Select and compute the appropriate statistic. ---Select--- %3D b) Obtain/compute the appropriate values to make a decision about Ho. p-value ; Decision: ---Select--- c) Compute the corresponding effect size(s) and indicate magnitude(s). If not appropriate, input and/or select "na" below. Effect Size = ; Magnitude: ---Select-- d) Make an interpretation based on the results. O There is a significant negative relationship between middle class and food preference.…

A professor claims that the average grade of students in her courses is 80%. Identify Type II error for this claim. O Fail to reject the claim that average grade is 80% when it is actually 80%. O Fail to reject the claim that average grade is 80% when it is actually different from 80%. O Reject the claim that average grade is 80% when it is actually 80%. O Reject the claim that average grade is 80% when it is actually different from 80%.

On May 13 research-ers at Spirit Lake tagged 420 fish. When they returned afew weeks later, their sample of 500 fish contained 9 thatwere tagged. Give an approximation of the fish popula-tion in Spirit Lake to the nearest hundred.
