5) Alcohol consumption is influenced by price and packaging, but what about
glassware? Atwood et al. (2012) measured whether the time taken to drink a beer
was influenced by the shape of the glass in which it was served. Participants were
given a 12 oz. of chilled lager and were told that they should drink it at their own
pace while watching a nature documentary. The participants were randomly
assigned to receive their beer in either a straight-sided glass or a curved, fluted glass.
The data below are the total time in minutes to drink the glass of beer by the 19
women participants in the study.
Straight glass: 11.63 10.37 17.89 6.96 20.40 20.64 9.26 18.11 10.33 23.54
Curved glass: 7.46 9.28 8.90 6.73 8.25 6.16 13.09 2.10 6.37
a. Show the data in a graph. What trend is suggested? Comment on other
differences between the frequency distributions of the two samples.
b. Test whether the mean total time to drink the beer differs depending on beer
glass shape.

- Foot ulcers are a common problem for people with diabetes. Higher skin temperatures on the foot indicate an increased risk of ulcers. The article "An Intelligent Insole for Diabetic Patients with the Loss of Protective Sensation" (Kimberly Anderson, M.S.

Bradford Hill. In 20 hospitals in London, UK, patients admitted with lung cancer in the previous year were queried about their smoking behavior. For each patient admitted, researchers studied the smoking behavior of a noncancer control patient at the same hospital of the same sex and within the same 5-year grouping on age. A smoker was defined as a person who had smoked at least one cigarette a day for at least a year. Table 2.12.

- Which non-parametric test for ordinal data is the best to use in the given scenario? In a study by Zuckerman and Heneghan, hemodynamic stresses were measured on subjects undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. An outcome variable of interest was the ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) measured in mm. A portion of the data appears in the following table. Baseline refers to a measurement taken 5 minutes after induction of anesthesia, and the term '5 minutes' refers to a measurement taken 5 minutes after baseline. Can we conclude that, on the basis of these data, among subjects undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the average LVEDV levels change? Let a =.01.

- Northern flying squirrels eat lichen and fungi, which makes for a relatively low quality diet. The authors of the paper "Nutritional Value and Diet Preference of Arboreal Lichens and Hypogeous Fungi for Small Mammals in the Rocky Mountains" + measured nitrogen intake and nitrogen retention in six flying squirrels that were fed the fungus Rhizopogon. Data read from a graph that appeared in the paper are given in the table below. (The negative value for nitrogen retention for the first squirrel represents a net loss in nitrogen.)

Can the number of passengers predict the cost of flying such routes? It seems logical that more passengers result in more weight and more baggage, which could, in turn, result in increased fuel consumption and other costs. Suppose the data displayed in the table below are the costs and associated number of passengers for twelve 800-kms commercial airline flights using Boeing 737s during the same season of the year. We will use these data to develop a regression model to predict cost by number of passengers. A plot of the data collected is shown in Figure 3.
