- Do people feel hungrier after sampling a healthy food? The authors of a consumer research paper carried out a study to answer this question. They randomly assigned volunteers into one of three groups. The people in the first group were asked to taste a snack that was described as a new health bar containing high levels of protein, vitamins, and fiber. The people in the second group were asked to taste the same snack but were told it was a tasty chocolate bar with a raspberry center. After tasting the snack, participants were asked to rate their hunger level on a scale from 1 (not at all hungry) to 7 (very hungry). The people in the third group were asked to rate their hunger but were not given a snack. The data in the table are consistent with summary quantities given in the paper (although the sample sizes in the actual study were larger).

Part of the study consisted of a 50-question survey asking about types of foods consumed. Each question was scored on a scale from one (most unhealthy behavior) to five (most healthy behavior). The answers were summed and averaged. The population of interest is the patients at the regional hospital. The current survey was implemented after patients were subjected to this education, and it produced the following sample statistics for 25 patients sampled: and s = 1.02. We would like to know if the education improved nutrition behavior. We test the hypotheses H 0: = 2.9 versus Ha: > 2.9. The value of the t test is 1.96, and: a.

- In a survey of working parents (both parents working), one of the questions asked was "Have you refused a job, promotion, or transfer because it would mean less time with your family?" Two hundred men and 200 women were asked this question. Twenty-nine percent of the men and 24% of the women responded "yes." a. Based on this survey, can we conclude that there is a difference in the proportion of man and women responding “yes" at the 0.05 level of significance? (i) State the null and alternative hypotheses (ii) What test statistics would you use and why? (iii) Compute the value of the test-statistic. (iv) What rejection region would you use? (v) State your conclusion in the context of the problem. b. What P-value is associated with this test? Based on this P-value, could H. be rejected at significance level 0.08? c.

The data were gathered through hour-long telephone interviews with a nationally representative sample. In response to the question, "What does success mean to you?" 1470 responded, "Personal satisfaction from doing a good job." Let p be the population proportion of all wage and salaried workers who would respond the same way to the stated question. How large a sample is needed if we wish to be 95% confident that the sample percentage of those equating success with personal satisfaction is within 1.6% of the population percentage?
