- Does support for assisted suicide (“death with dignity”) vary by social class? Is this relationship dif-ferent in different nations? Small samples in three nations were asked whether it is ever justified for a per-son with an incurable disease to take his or her own life. Respondents answered in terms of a 10-point scale, on which 10 was “always justified” (the strongest support for “death with dignity”) and 1 was “never justified” (the lowest level of support). Results are reported here.arrow_forwardA researcher is interested in the relationship between total student debt after graduating college and depression. In order to test the hypothesis that students with more debt are more depressed, the researcher conducts a cross-sectional study that inquires about indebtedness after graduation and asks participants to complete the geriatric depression scale (GDS) test to quantify their depression on a scale of 1-15, 15 being the most depressed. The following table should be considered a SRS of participants’ responses relative to the variables of interest.

In one study conducted by the Mayo Clinic, it was reported that failures were experienced within the first 2 years by 15 of 81 patients under 50 years old and 19 of 356 patients ages 50 and older who received a particular type of defibrillator. Assume it is reasonable to regard these two samples as representative of patients in the two age groups who receive this type of defibrillator.arrow_forward
- Whirling disease is a deadly disease that affects trout in Montana riversIn a follow-up to a 2006 study conducted by the Montana Department of FishWildlife and Parks (FWP)researchers sought to determine if the proportion of trout afflicted by whirling disease in the Gallatin river differs between rainbow trout and brown trout. To test this theory, researchers collected a representative sample of 527 rainbow trout and 459 brown trout. Of the 527 rainbow trout collected, 120 had developed whirling disease; of the 459 brown trout collected, 74 had developed whirling disease Calculate the relative risk of whirling disease for rainbow trout compared to brown trout in this sample.arrow_forwardof LO %24 2. Based on their records, a hospital claims that the proportion, p, of full-term babies born in the community that weigh more than 7 pounds is 36%. A pediatrician who works with several hospitals in the community would like to verify the hospital's claim. In a random sample of 180 babies born in the community, 46 weighed over 7 pounds. Is there enough evidence to reject the hospital's claim at the 0.01 level of significance? Perform a two-tailed test. Then complete the parts below.

- Oishi & Shigehiro (2010) report that people who move from home to home frequently as children tend to have lower than average levels of well-being as adults. To further examine this relationship, a psychologist obtains a sample of n = 12 young adults who each experienced 5 or more different homes before they were 16 years old. These participants were given a standardized well-being questionnaire for which the general population has an average score of µ = 40. The well-being scores for this sample are as follows: 23, 37, 41, 35, 43, 37, 33, 34, 36, 38, 31, 38. On the basis of this sample, is well-being for frequent movers significantly different from the well-being of the general population? Test with alpha a = .05.

- Part 1 of 4 The restaurants of a fast food chain are primarily located in three regions of Arizona. The CEO of the chain wants to know if the average monthly revenue of the restaurants in each region are equal. The monthly revenues (in thousads of dollars) for this past month of the restaurants in each of the three regions are given below. Conduct an ANOVA test using a 5% level of significance to determine whether or not the average monthly revenues in the three regions are equal. Monthly Revenues of Restaurants in Region 1: 179, 183.3, 156.8, 155.1, 253, 105.4, 219, 134.3, 119.9, 193.1, 188.5, 188.4 Monthly Revenuse of Restaurants in Region 2: 158.7, 175.2, 187.8, 187.1, 118.1, 179.5, 195.1, 199.7, 349.6, 226.5, 253.7, 287.4, 172.8, 290.5, 149 Monthly Revenuse of Restaurants in Region 3: 215.4, 199.8, 360.7, 273, 250, 214.2, 144.5, 165, 137, 187.6 Step 1: State the null and alternative hypotheses.
