q11
The test conducted here is to find if there is any association between the time and age of the hiker. For the relation we either use correlation or test of independence. Here since the time and age are two numerical data, we will use the
Test for Correlation
other tests like means or proportion are parametric test which is not required here. Slope test is used to test if the independent variable is a good predictor for the dependent variable.
q12
The sample is taken to test if the average stay is more than 4 days,. So the test is for unknown population parameter: mean. There is one sample only therefore we use
Test for Single Mean
q13
We have the categories of coffee. The observeds values are for the number of people ordering each of the type of coffee. The manager wants to test if all the coffee have equal frequency. That is if the observed values are significantly equal or that they follow uniform distribution. Therefore we are testing if the uniform distribution is fit for the freq of type of coffee. We use
Goodness of fit test
q14
The manager wants to expand and there are two choices. Depending upon the number of vegans in each area the expansion will be done. So the locals can be either vegan or they won't be. We can assume that this is binomial distribution where the proportion of vegans are compard for the two areas. THerefore we will use
Test for difference in proportions

15. A college brochure stated that 30% of the graduate students live on campus. A study was conducted to find out if the percentage of grad students living on campus is actually lower than the stated level. A random sample of 150 graduate students is taken and only 20 live on campus. OA) Test for a Single Mean OB) Test for a Difference in Means OC) Test for Paired Means OD) Test for a Single Proportion O E) Test for...
Question 10 Background: Name That Scenario: Pet Adoption One important aspect in statistics is to understand which statistical methods or procedures are appropriate to use to address the research problem or question of interest. For each description of a research question below, select the one corresponding statistical analysis technique most appropriate for addressing that research question. An employee who has just been put in charge of the pet adoption fundraiser thinks that a personal phone cal to recent adopters asking...
Match the study with the best hypothesis test that could be used to evaluate the research question.Do exercise supplements improve the effect of training among amateur runners? 112 amateur runners were enrolled in a study in which they ran using a proven 12-week 5km race training plan. At the beginning of the 12-week study, they ran a 5km race, their finishing times were recording; they repeated the same race at the end of the 12-week study. Half of the enrolled...
1. Suppose you were asked to analyze each of the situations described below. (NOTE: Do not answer these problems!) For each, indicate which procedure you would use (pick the appropriate number from the list), the test statistic (z.2 or ), and the number of degrees of freedom A procedure may be used more than once. 1. difference of proportions test Type zx/t? df 2. difference of means test a. 3. paired means test 4. goodness of fit test 5. homogeneity/independence...
While conducting a one-way ANOVA comparing 6 treatments with 10 observations per treatment, the computed value for SS(Treatment)= 1, and SS(Error)=24. Calculate the value of F. Round off the answer to 2 decimal digits A study was conducted to determine the association between the maximum distance at which a highway sign can be read ( in feet) and the age of the driver ( in years). Fourty drivers of various ages were studied. The summary statistics for distance and age are...
Quality Control: A battery company advertises that Its batterles last 245 hours. There have been several complaints that the batterles don't last that long, so an Independent analytics agency is hlred to test them. For the 37 hatteries they tested, the mean lifetime was 244 hours with a standard deviation of 1.3 hours. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the batteries last as long as the company claims. Use α-0.05 (a) A consumer advocate says that 244 hours Is...
For the following questions, identify the type of test that should be used. Simply use the corresponding letter: A) One-sample z test (for a mean); B) One-sample t-test; C) One-sample z-test for a proportion (or a chi-squared goodness-of-fit); D) Chi-square goodness of fit (and a z-test is not appropriate); E) Two-sample z-test for a difference between proportions (or a chi-squared test for independence); F) Chi-square test for independence (and a z-test is not appropriate); G) Simple regression; H) Multiple regression;...

9. (14 points) For each scenario below, indicate the appropriate test and alternative hypothesis by selecting two let- ters from the following: (A) single mean, (B) difference of means, (C) paired means, (D) correlation, (E) single proportion, (F) difference of proportions. (G) chi-square independence, (X)H: < or H : > Bo, (Y) H :8 , and (Z) H, the 2 nominal variables are not independent. Here, stands for a population parameter and its assumed value under the null hypothesis. Each...
