Of all sports, football accounts for the highest incidence of concussion in the United States due to the large number of athletes participating and the nature of the sport. While there is general agreement that concussion incidence can be reduced by making rule changes and teaching proper tackling technique, there remains debate as to whether helmet design may also reduce the incidence of concussion. Rowson et al. (2014) report on a retrospective analysis of head impact data collected between 2005 and 2010 from eight collegiate football teams. Concussion rates for players wearing two types of helmets, Riddell VSR4 and Riddell Revolution, were compared. A total of 1,281,444 head impacts were recorded, from which 64 concussions were diagnosed. The relative risk of sustaining a concussion in a Revolution helmet compared with a VSR4 helmet was 46.1%. This study illustrates that differences in the ability to reduce concussion risk exist between helmet models in football. Although helmet…
One study of cell phones and the risk of brain cancer looked at a group of 469 people who have brain cancer. The investigators then asked about the use of cell phones. Result: “Our data suggest that the use of hand- held cellular phones is not associated with risk of brain cancer.
B . Based on this study, can you determine that cellular use does not CAUSE brain cancer? Why or why not?

Over the past few years the percentage of students who leave Lakeland College at the end of the first year has increased. Last year Lakeland started a voluntary one-week orientation program to help first-year students adjust to campus life. If Lakeland is able to show that the orientation program has a positive effect on retention, they will consider making the program a requirement for all first-year students. Lakeland's administration also suspects that students with lower GPAs have a higher probability of leaving Lakeland at the end of the first year. In order to investigate the relation of these variables to retention, Lakeland selected a random sample of 100 students from last year's entering class. The data are contained in the data set named Lakeland. The dependent variable was coded as y = 1 if the student returned to Lakeland for the sophomore year and y = 0 if not. The two independent variables are: x1 = GPA at the end of the first…arrow_forward
- A researcher would like to conduct a study related to student emotional intelligence (EQ) in a university. The researcher would like to examine two objectives in his study. First, he would like to examine whether the EQ training and coaching programme will improve the level of EQ for university students. Second, he would like to study the relationship between student academic performance (CGPA) and students’ emotional intelligence (EQ) in a university. Twenty samples of students from the first year were taken for the study. The researcher has collected the data for a few variables: gender, academic performance, and emotional intelligence (EQ) test score. The study is divided into two parts. First, the student must answer the emotional intelligence (EQ) test assessment before attending the EQ training and coaching programme. Second, the researcher will request the same twenty students to attend a one-month emotional intelligence (EQ) coaching and training programme.

You want to be able to identify those who are depressed so that you can refer them to treatment. You use a depression-screening tool called the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), created by Dr. Aaron T. Beck. It is a widely used 21-item multiple-choice self-report inventory. Higher scores indicate higher levels of depression. Because being homeless is stressful, you decide to use z- scores so that you can identify those people who are at least one standard deviation more depressed than the typical person who is homeless. Based on the testing of 50 people, the average score on the BDI in your sample is 14 with a standard deviation of 2. The table that follows consists of the scores of five people that you tested who sleep in the same alcove at a shelter. Use the dropdown menus to complete the third column of the table by selecting the z-score relative to your sample that corresponds to the participants' BDI score. Participant 1 2 3 4 5…arrow_forward
- Because statistical software plays such an important role in modern statistical applications, many studies have encouraged the use of technology in statistics courses. The Guidelines for the Assessment and Instruction in Statistics Education (GAISE) (Aliaga et al., 2005) project was funded by the American Statistical Association to examine needs for college level statistics courses. One of the six recommendations from GAISE is the use of technology for developing conceptual understanding and analyzing data. A survey was sent to students at 100 different universities across the United States to access the relationship between ease of learning the statistical software program SAS and a student's currently level of SAS proficiency. The results of the survey are published in Jackson et al., 2011, in the International Mathematical Forum journal and are shown below.

Bullying and victimization are evident as early as preschool, with the problem peaking in middle school. Suppose you are interested in the emotional well-being of not only the victims but also bystanders, bullies, and those who bully but who are also victims (bully-victims). You decide to measure depression in a group of victims and a group of bully-victims using a 26-item, 3-point depression scale. Assume scores on the depression scale are normally distributed and that the variances of the depression scores are the same among victims and bully-victims. The group of 25 victims scored an average of 25.3 with a sample standard deviation of 9 on the depression scale. The group of 23 bully-victims scored an average of 20.5 with a sample standard deviation of 8 on the same scale. You do not have any presupposed assumptions about whether victims or bully-victims…arrow_forwardBecause statistical software plays such an important role in modern statistical applications, many studies have encouraged the use of technology in statistics courses.
