BREAKFAST AND TEST SCORES 1 of 4 What type of test should this researcher use?

Eighteen students received breakfast before taking the test, and twenty-one students did not eat breakfast and recorded their performance on the English test. What type of research test should this researcher use? Their results are as follows:

- Answer correctly and read the questions corretly, this is all one quesiton if done correclty and organized I will write a very nice review about you!arrow_forwardIn a study assessing helping behavior among college students on their way to class, you recruit 10 students. You tell some participants that they are late for class and need to rush. You tell others they are right on time. Finally, you tell others they have lots of time before class. As they walk across campus, they come across a man (actually a confederate) who appears to need help. You measure the extent to which the participant noticed that the confederate needed help (1 = did not notice to 9 = really noticed). What is the acceptable level of risk? P >.05 p <.05 P = .05 P <.1arrow_forwardThe first test a doctor would order to determine whether a person is infected with HIV (the virus that causes AIDS) is the ELISA test. It detects antibodies and antigens for HIV. A study in Statistical Science by J. Gastwirth estimated that, if the person is actually infected with HIV, this test produces a positive result 97.7% of the time. If a person is not infected with HIV, the test result is negative 92.6% of the time. According the the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC), an estimated 1.1 million Americans out of a population of 321 million were infected with HIV in 2015. Using the information above, determine the probability that a randomly selected person whose ELISA test is positive actually is infected with HIV? a. What is the probability that a randomly selected American is infected with HIV? b. Using the answer to part (a) and the conditional probabilities of positive and negative ELISA test results, fill out the contingency table below: ELISA Test Result…arrow_forward
- Two Different Depression Scales Example 1.28 introduces a study examining the impact of diet on depression. The study used two different ways to measure depression. One is the DASS (Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale) which uses self-reported symptoms, while the other is the CESD (Centre for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale), which is a more involved clinical assessment. On both scales, higher numbers indicate greater depression symptoms.We are interested in whether we can use the self-reported data as a good predictor of clinical results (and hence a good starting point for patients). Figure below shows a scatterplot of the two depression scores for each of the 75 participants at the start of the diet/depression experiment (before the effect of any dietary intervention.) 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 10 20. 30 40 50 60 Self-reported (a) Does the association appear to be positive or negative?

Gender differences in levels of empathy in the general population are not large but male and female officers have been shown to have different interaction styles with the public; this may be due to the different empathy levels. After sampling officers and measuring their levels of empathy you find the following data. Males Females n = 6 n = 9 M = 31 M = 45 SS = 490 SS = 680 If you were going to make gender comparisons like this, which option would be the correct choice? Write A or B in the box. [a] Option A.

- You are a senior in the agricultural sciences department of NCSU doing an internship at a local dairy farm. Farmer Bill is an expert dairy farmer but has no background in quantitative decision making. Bill claims that the milk produced by his grass-fed Jersey cattle has higher protein content than the milk made by his grain-fed Jersey cattle. His evidence? He says he can taste the difference. You decide to put Bill's claim to the test. You randomly sample 21 grass-fed Jersey cattle and 18 grain-fed Jersey cattle, independently of one another, and obtain a sample of milk from each cow. Both histograms appear approximately normal. You test Ho : 4 = H2 VS. HA : H1 > 2. where 4 is the true mean protein content of milk produced by grass-fed Jersey cattle and-u, is that for the grain-fed cattle. Your test statistic is 1.98. Based on this information, which of the following is true ? Select one or more: O a. The sample mean protein content for the milk samples from the grass-fed cattle you…arrow_forwardWhat are some issues to consider if you are planning to use statistical analysis in your research?
