16. Bad Stuff in Children’s Movies Data Set 11 “Alcohol and Tobacco in Movies” in Appendix B includes lengths of times (seconds) of tobacco use shown in animated children’s movies. For the Disney movies, n = 33,
a. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that Disney animated children’s movies and other animated children’s movies have the same mean time showing tobacco use.
b. Construct a confidence interval appropriate for the hypothesis test in part (a).
c. Conduct a quick visual inspection of the listed times for the non-Disney movies and comment on the normality requirement. How does the normality of the 17 non-Disney times affect the results?

- Scenario: Does emotional intelligence vary based on the type of preschool a child attends? A researcher collects data on 300 four-year-olds who attend different local types of preschools. The researcher was able to collect data from four different types of preschools - Montessori, Waldorf, Parent Co-ops, and religious preschools. Emotional intelligence was quantified using the self-report Bar-On EQ-I, which ranges from 0 — 110, and is considered "scale" in nature. Assume data meets all assumptions for a parametric test. Question: What is the null hypothesis for this scenario?arrow_forwardScenario: Does emotional intelligence vary based on the type of preschool a child attends?

Note that there were 50% more accidents in the 25 to less than 30 age group than in the 20 to less than 25 age group. Does this suggest that the older group of drivers in this city is more accident- prone than the younger group? What other explanation might account for the difference in accident rates?arrow_forward
- Please do iv. Calculate the variance onlyarrow_forwardA clinical psychologist is interested in the relationship between testosterone level in married males and the quality of their marital relationship. A study is conducted in which the testosterone levels of eight married men are measured. The eight men also fill out a standardized questionnaire assessing quality of marital relationship. The questionnaire scale is 0–25, with higher numbers indicating better relationships. Testosterone scores are in nanomoles/liter of serum. The data are shown below. Subject Number 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Relationship Score 24 15 15 10 19 11 20 19 Testosterone Level 12 13 19 25 M 16 15 21 a. Determine the least-squares regression line for predicting relationship score from testosterone level. b. What percentage of the variance in relationship score is accounted for by the regression equation? c. Can we conclude that there is a significant relationship between the testosterone level…arrow_forwardA manufacturer knows that their items lifespans are normally distributed according to N(5.1,1.5)N(5.1,1.5).What proportion of the items' lifespans will be longer than 6 years?arrow_forward

A test used to detect the virus in a person is positive 90% of the time if the person has the virus (true positive) and 10% of the time if the person does not have the virus (false positive). Fill out the remainder of the following table and use it to answer the two questions below based on a total sample of 100,000 people. Virus No Virus Total Positive Test Negative Test Total 100,000 a) Find the probability that a person has the virus given that they have tested positive.

Let x be the age of a bighorn sheep (in years), and let y be the mortality rate (percent that die) for this age group. For example, x = 1, y = 14 means that 14% of the bighorn sheep between 1 and 2 years old died. A random sample of Arizona bighorn sheep gave the following information: x 1 2 3 4 5 y 14.2 17.7 14.4 19.6 20.0 Σx = 15; Σy = 85.9; Σx2 = 55; Σy2 = 1,506.45; Σxy = 271.2 (a) Find x, y, b, and the equation of the least-squares line. (Round your answers for x and y to two decimal places. Round your least-squares estimates to three decimal places.) x = y = b = ŷ = + x (b) Draw a scatter diagram for the data.
