when do we use the statistical treatments

Before using these mean squares what does we must calculate?

A research study investigates the occurrence of extra heartbeats between untrained and trained older patients at risk for heart attack. Researchers decide to test whether there is a significant difference in the number of extra beats depending on training status. They obtain measurements over 10 minutes, summarized below. What did they find? If there is a significant difference, how big of one is there? (Provide a range.) dfadi = 25 (if needed) Status # patients Untrained 43 Mean # extra beats/10 min 72.46 32.35 Standard Deviation Minimum # extra beats Maximum # of extra beats Skew Kurtosis 28 165 -0.21 0.62 Trained 21 169.50 62.93 66 266 0.13 -0.1

• In a political science class, the teacher gives a midterm exam and a final. The association between midterm and final scores is linear. The summary statistics are shown below. Midterm Mean=75, Midterm Standard Deviation=10 Final Mean=75, Final Standard Deviation=10 r=0.8 According to the regression equation, for a student who gets 85 on the midterm (one standard deviation above average) what is the predicted final exam grade? 83 85 70 75
