- a researcher wants to determine the average amount of minutes it takes for the medicine to reduce the pain for adult males. The researcher contacted 107 subjects to participate in the study, n=but only got results from 79 of the subjects. The average time it took for the medicine to reduce headache pain of these subjects was 27 minutes. What is the population? What is the sample? What tis the parameter? What is the symbol for this parameter? What is the statistics? What is the symbol for this statistics?arrow_forward1. A population consists of 4 types of units, A, B, C, and D. A theory suggests that these should occur in the ratios 3:3:3:1, respectively. A random sample breaks down as follows: Туре number observed A C D 19 3 9 9. Carry out a chi-squared goodness of fit test to see if this data fits the theory, and give (a) the test statistic and (b) the P-value of the tesSt. If some cell has too low an expected frequency, combine that cell with cell C. Does the data contradict the theory? (c) Answer this question "yes" or "no" based on the results of the goodness of fit test at the a = .05 significance level.arrow_forwardA researcher develops a test for identifying intellectually gifted children.
