- A pharmaceutical company has developed a drug that is expected to reduce hunger. To test the drug, three samples of rats are selected with n=10n=10 in each sample. The first sample receives the drug every day. The second sample is given the drug once a week, and the third sample receives no drug at all (the control group). The dependent variables is the amount of food eaten by each rat over a 1-month period. These data are analyzed by an ANOVA, and the results are reported in the following summary table.

- Two independent samples have 28 and 19 pairs of observations with correlation co efficients 0.55 and 0.75 respectively. Are these values of r consistent with the hypothesis that both the samples are drawn from the same population?arrow_forwardA)Test the claim, at the a = 0.10 level of significance, that a linear relation exists between the two variables, for the data below, given that y-1.885x + 0.758. Step 1) State the null and alternative hypotheses. Step 2) Determine the critical value for the level of significance, a. Step 3) Find the test statistic or P-value. Step 4) Will the researcher reject the null hypothesis or do not the null hypothesis? Step 5) Write the conclusion. B) The regression line for the given data is y = -1.885x + 0.758. Determine the residual of a data point for which x = 2 and y = -4. C) Give a practical interpretation of the coefficient of determination, R2. Express R2 to the nearest whole percent.
