Arsenic is a compound that occurs naturally in very low concentrations. Arsenic blood
concentrations in healthy individuals are Normally distributed with a mean of 3.2 mg/dl.
Some areas of the United States have naturally elevated arsenic levels in the ground and
water supplies. Researchers took a sample 20 water samples from a particular area and
measured the arsenic levels in each of the 20 water samples. They want to determine if
there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the arsenic level in that area is higher than 3.2
mg/dl.

A researcher notes that there seems to be a difference in the prevalence of high cholesterol among individuals who smoke and consume diets high in processed food and the prevalence of high cholesterol among individuals who do not smoke and do not consume diets high in processed foods. Use the appropriate hypothesis to determine if diet and smoking status are related (independent) at the 5%. This is the first step in determining if confounding has influenced the study’s results. Then interpret your response.

After interviewing 76 employees within their county, they were able to get the following statistical output. What is the observed F value for the interaction effect?

A equal number of participants were recruited that either had no military experience or had completed military experience. All participants were asked to give a speech without preparation while being judged by a panel of experts. Their heart rates were monitored during the speech and an average heart rate was calcuated for each participant. Which statistical test would be best to determine if there is a significant difference between groups? one-sample t-test dependent samples t-test independent samples t-test ANOVAarrow_forward
- The forced vital capacity (FVC) is often used by physicians to assess a person's ability to move air in and out of their lungs. It is the maximum amount of air that can be exhaled after a deep breath. A researcher wants to perform a hypothesis test to determine whether the mean forced vital capacity for adults who are smokers is less than the mean forced vital capacity for adults who are former smokers. He will use a paired sample to determine whether forced vital capacity increases, on average, when adults stop smoking. Identify the two populations for the proposed hypothesis test.arrow_forwardResearchers conducted a study to determine the effects of different types of alcohol on the peak alcohol concentration. In one part of the study, the researchers gave 15 randomly select males a controlled volume of vodka and monitored the subjects' alcohol concentration following the period of consumption. The legal limit for driving is 80 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter of blood). A hypothesis test was conducted to see if the mean peak alcohol concentration from drinking vodka was different from the legal driving limit. This was reflected in the null and alternative hypotheses ?0:??1:?=80 mg/dL≠80 mg/dL The researchers required their results to be statistically significant at a level of ?=0.10. The mean peak alcohol concentration of the participants after drinking a controlled volume of vodka was 77.4 mg/dL with a standard deviation of 17.25 mg/dL. Determine the confidence interval that corresponds to the ?‑test. Give the lower and upper bounds precise to two decimal placesarrow_forwardThe Acculturation Rating Scale for Mexican Americans (ARSMA) and the Bicultural Inventory (BI) both measure the extent to which Mexican Americans have adopted the Anglo/English culture. These tests were compared by administering both tests to 22 Mexican Americans. Both tests have the same range of scores (1.00 to 5.00) and are scaled to have similar means for the groups used to develop them. There was a high correlation between the two scores, giving evidence that both are measuring the same characteristics. The researchers wanted to know whether the population mean difference in scores for the two tests is 0. The differences in scores (ARSMA – BI) for the 22 participants had a mean of 0.2519 and standard deviation of 0.2767. Carry out a significance test to help answer the researcher’s question. Construct and Interpret a 95% confidence interval for the mean difference in scores on the two tests.arrow_forward
- The respiratory disturbance index (RDI), which is the number of apneic and hypopneic episodes per hour of sleep, was used as a measure of severity of sleep apnea. An RDI of 5 or more indicates sleep-related breathing disturbances. The RDIs for the females and males samples in a study in US are as follows.
