A researcher believes that the so-called “sugar high” is not real. He gathered 30 adolescents and recorded their activity level in the scale of 0 – 100 (0 = not active and 100 = super active). First, he recorded participants’ activity level before they consumed candy. After recording their pre-sugar activity level, the researcher gave out 5 Snickers bars to participants. Then, he recorded their post-sugar activity level. The average difference between post-sugar and pre-sugar activity level is 50 (i.e., the activity levels are higher after sugar than prior to it) with a standard deviation of 10.
A). What is the type of test you will use? (z-test, single-sample t-test, paired-samples t-test, or independent samples t-test) and why (what information provided in the problem)B). What are the hypotheses (Be Specific)
A prospective cohort study is run to estimate the incidence of stroke in persons 55 years of age and older. All participants are free of stroke at study start. Each participant is followed for a maximum of 5 years. The data are summarized in Table 3–14.

In the period of 2010 – 2020 in the United States 1/3 of patients 55 years old or older had
a seasonal flu vaccine. The risk of death for a flu-vaccinated person 55 years or older in the
following 10 months is 0.6 deaths per 1,000 flu-vaccinated persons 55 years old or older. The
risk of death for a non-vaccinated 55 year old or older person in the same 10 month period is
5 deaths per 1,000. Given these numbers, what is the probability that a person 55 years or
older in the United States will survive 10 months into that year's flu season?

To investigate that, they produce the alloy at twodifferent temperatures (high and low) and then measure the breaking strength of randomsamples of specimens from each.
