Question
Public Health and Nutrition : Vitamin B3 (niacin ) helps to detoxify the body ,aids digestion, can ease the pain of migraine headaches and helps promote healthy skin. A random sample of adults in United states and in Europe was obtained and the daily in take of niacin ( in milligrams) was recorded. The data are summarized in the following table.
a) Construct two histogram ,one for the United States and one for Europe. b) Describe the shape of each histogram .Does a comparison of the two histograms suggest any differences in niacin intake between the two samples? Explain

- A special education teacher did research on whether or not there is a relationship between the number of students in his class and the number incidents of “acting out” behaviors exhibited by the autistic students in the classroom. He collects data for a year and aggregates them by month. He obtained the statistics below, r= -.863 R2=.74 b= -1.212294 a= 131.176598 10.) How does the presence of more students affect the incidents in the class? a) as students are added the incidences increase b) as students are added the incidences decrease c) the number of students does not affect acting out d) the number of students caused more incidents How much of the variability of acting out is explained by the number of students in the class?___________arrow_forwardWe are testing whether a particular program of low impact exercise can improve the cholesterol level of stroke patients. We enroll a group of stroke patients in our study, and after six weeks we measure their serum cholesterol level in mmol/L, resulting in the following data: 6.1 9.3 6.3 4 9 5.5 6.3 4.2 4.7 7.8 4.3 7.5 9.1 4.2 6.9 8.1 5.6 9.4 8.3 8.8 7.2 5.7 6.5 3.8 3.8 9 9.4 4.5 8 7 4.5 9.4 6.6 4.1 6.6 9.1 3.9 5.3 (a) Construct a 95% confidence interval. _______< u < ______ From an existing study, we know that the average cholesterol level of all stroke patients is 7 mmol/L. We want to know if the level in our patients is significantly different from this.

A movie studio wishes to determine the relationship between the revenue from rental of comedies on streaming services and the revenue generated from the theatrical release of such movies. The studio has the following bivariate data from a sample of fifteen comedies released over the past five years. These data give the revenue x from theatrical release (in millions of dollars) and the revenue y from streaming service rentals (in millions of dollars) for each of the fifteen movies. Also shown are the scatter plot and the least-squares regression line for the data. The equation for this line is ŷ=3.38+0.15x.

- The table below shows the number of state-registered automatic weapons and the murder rate for several states in the U.S. 11.6 8.4 6.7 3.5 2.7 2.7 2.2 0.9 14.1 11.3 9.9 6.8 6.2 6.3 5.8 I = thousands of automatic weapons y = murders per 100,000 residents Keep in mind, the data in the table do not necessarily imply a direct causal link between the two variables. (In fact, can you think of any reasons why these variables may not be directly related to each other?) Also, the purpose of this question is not to make a political statement about guns or gun control. It's only to illustrate that data such as these sometimes have mathematical relationships that can be modeled with linear equations. Those relationships should always be questioned and examined carefully. With that said, these data can be modeled by the equation y = 0.87z + 3.95. Use this equation to answer the following; A) If this model is oconsistent, how many murders per 100,000 residents can be expected in a state with 8.7…arrow_forwardTo examine the effect of relaxing music on math test performance, a researcher wants to compare the average math test scores of participants who completed the test with relaxing music to performance of participants who completed the same math test without music. The partially computed data collected in the study are shown below: Math Test with Music: Math Test without Music: n1 = 16 n2 = 12 M1 = 82 M2 = 78 SS1 = 150 SS2 = 140 Based on these results, is there a significant effect of relaxing music on math test performance? Use a t-test for independent samples with p < .01, 2-tails to answer this research question. Follow the steps of hypothesis testing and insert your answers below.

- Johnson and Leone describe an experiment to investigate the warping of copper plates. The two factors studied were temperature and the copper content of the plates. The response variable was a measure of the amount of warping. The data are as follows: Temperature (°C) 50 75 100 Copper Content (%) 40 60 80 100 17 20 12 9 16 12 21 17 21 16 24 21 18 13 18 21 ZZFEHERRE 23 22 27 17 27 31 30 23 29 31 12 25 23 23 28 22 125 Source: Applied Statistics and Probability for Engineers, 6th Edition, Douglas, C.

At Jock State University, the level of CPK was determined for each of 25 football players and 15 soccer players before and after practice. The two groups of athletes are trained independently. The data summary is as follows : For football players: n=25 Before Practice After Practice Difference (Before-After) Mean 254.73 225.6 29.13 Standard deviation 115.5 132.6 21.00 For soccer players: n=15 Before Practice After Practice Difference (Before-After) Mean 177.1 173.8 3.3 Standard deviation 60.7 64.4 6.88 Assume that all the data above are normal, use the information above to answer problem (7) Construct a 95% Confidence Interval for the difference in mean CPK values for football players BEFORE and AFTER exercises.arrow_forward
