The study identified a random sample of 562 females and 852 males that had achieved the same high score on the math portion of the test. That is, both females and males were viewed as having similar high abilities in Math. The SAT verbal scores for the two samples are: Females Males x̅1 = 547 x̅2 = 525 S1 = 83 S2 = 78 Do the data support the conclusion that given a population of females and a population of males with similar high mathematical abilities, the females will have a significantly higher verbal ability?

What is your conclusion?arrow_forwardA research group conducted an extensive survey of 3138 wage and salaried workers on issues ranging from relationships with their bosses to household chores. 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?" 1543 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. Find a 90% confidence interval for p.

- Suppose you are comparing the time to relief of three headache medicines -- brands 1, 2, and 3. The time to relief data is reported in minutes. For this experiment, 15 subjects were randomly placed on one of the three medicines. Which medicine (if any) is the most effective? The data for this example are as follows: Brand 1 Brand 2 Brand 3 X X 24.5 28.4 26.1 23.5 34.2 28.3 26.4 29.5 24.3 27.1 32.2 26.2 29.9 30.1 27.8 A) Complete the ANOVA summary table: Sum of Degrees of Mean Brands Squares Freedom Square F p-value (Between) Error (Within) Total B) Interpret the results (write an APA style results paragraph).arrow_forwardUsing the same anti-venom study, answer the following questions. A study was done on children (6 months to 18 years of age) who had (nonlethal) scorpion stings. Researchers wanted to know the effectiveness of a new anti-venonm. Each child was randomly assigned to receive a shot of the anti-venom or a placebo shot. Researchers recorded whether or not their condition improved over the next four hours. a. Identify the population for the study. b. Identify the sample for the study. (HINT: See #1) c. Was this an observational study or a controlled experiment? Explain how you know. d. Assuming the rest of the study was well-designed, use your answers to discuss whether it would be reasonable to conclude that the new anti-venom is effective at treating nonlethal scorpion stings in children.

- A standardized exam's scores are normally distributed. In a recent year, the mean test score was 1482 and the standard deviation was 315. The test scores of four students selected at random are 1910, 1200, 2210, and 1390. Find the z-scores that correspond to each value and determine whether any of the values are unusual.

They decide that each of the four data scientists will take a quadrant of the park to collect a sample from as randomly as possible. They decide they will collect the sample during the winter, the time the elk herds are most stressed. They agree to trust each others professional judgement when it comes to the health of the individual elk in the herd. They will give each elk a grade out of 3pts: 1 pt for sick, 2pts for fair, and 3pts for healthy. They then share their data and compare to create a final report on the overall health of the elk in the park. In this scenario, what is the same for all samples (the control)?arrow_forward
