When you are testing the difference between two means, it is not important To distinguish whether the samples are independent of each other   Determine whether the statement is true or false. If the statement is false, EXPLAIN why.

Explain the major difference between an experiment and an observation.

Mrs. Kelley noticed a strong positive correlation between the hours students said that they studied for a test and their scores on the test. Which fact would lead you to believe that the relationship between studying and test scores is one of causation and not correlation?

how do you find the Lower quartile when the median is two of the same number

Levi-Strauss Co manufactures clothing. The quality control department measures weekly values of different suppliers for the percentage difference of waste between the layout on the computer and the actual waste when the clothing is made (called run-up). The data is in the table, and there are some negative values because sometimes the supplier is able to layout the pattern better than the computer. Do the data show that there is a difference between some of the suppliers? Test at the 1% level.

You are a public health researcher.  You want to see if the average age that a person starts smoking has changed over time.  Smokers are recruited to answer a survey that asked at what age they started smoking.  You divided participants into two groups, one is participants under the age of 30 and the second for participants over the age of 30.  The average age for the two groups were compared. Which statistical test would be best to determine if there is a significant different in starting age between the two groups.     one-sample t-test     related samples t-test     independent samples t-test     ANOVA

Describe a study in which you can use both nonparametric and parametric statistics. A researcher has participants expecting to receive either painful or mild electrical shocks during a study wait in a quarter-full waiting room with other participants. He then measures whether they choose to sit next to other participants or if they sit far away on their own. What is the best test to run for this study and why?

Explain the differences between independent samples and dependent samples as it applies to statistical testing of data.
