In Data 4.1 on page 258, we examine a study in which mice were randomly assigned to either a normal light/dark cycle or to have a light on around the clock. According to the paper describing that study, "The global increase in the prevalence of obesity and metabolic disorders coincides with the increase of exposure to light at night." The study is examining whether light at night plays a causal role in the obesity epidemic. In Data 4.1, we examine...

DATA 4.1 Does Light at Night Affect Weight Gain? Numerous studies have shown that exposure to light at night is harmful to human health. A recent study? examines the effect of light at night on body mass gain in mice. Eighteen mice were randomly assigned to one of two groups: the Dark group had a normal light/dark cycle with darkness at night and the Light group had a dim light on at night, equivalent to having a television set on...

An experiment was conducted to test the effect of a new dietary supplement for weight loss. Ten men and 10 women were given the supplement daily for a month, then the amount of weight each person lost was determined. A significance test was conducted at the ? = 0.05 level for the difference in the means of the number of pounds lost between men and women. The test resulted in t = 2.178 and p = 0.03. If the alternative...

When peforming a hypothesis test a sample is gathered to test the claim being made. When the sample evidence differs from the claimed value, how can you determine if that difference is just to do randomness or due to there being a statistically significant difference between the sample evidence and claimed value?

Using the t-Test Exercise Data Set Excel file, Look at the date set of Systolic Blood Pressure Normal Weight/Systolic Blood Pressure Obese Write a null hypothesis for the comparison (use the null hypothesis template). Also, write a directional hypothesis that reflects the anticipated outcome. Conduct a t-test two-sample assuming unequal variances using Excel. Interpret the Excel result (was it significant, what was the critical t-value, what was the calculated t-value, what should be done with the null hypothesis—accept or reject)....

Twenty laboratory mice were randomly divided into two groups of 10. Each group was fed according to a prescribed diet. At the end of 3 weeks, the weight gained by each animal was recorded. Do the data in the following table justify the conclusion that the mean weight gained on diet B was greater than the mean weight gained on diet A, at the α = 0.05 level of significance? Assume normality. (Use Diet B - Diet A.) Diet A...

A random sample of 19 college athletes was surveyed and the mean amount of time per night each athlete slept was 8.2. This data has a sample standard deviation of0.8. (Assume that the scores are normally distributed.) Researchers conduct a one-mean hypothesis test at the 10% significance...

The Survey of Study Habits and Attitudes (SSHA) is a psychological test that measures the motivation, attitude, and study habits of college students. Scores range from0 to 200 and follow (approximately) a Normal distribution with mean 113 and standard deviation 16. You suspect that incoming freshmen at your school have a mean m thatis different from 113 because they are often excited yet anxious about entering college. You give the SSHA to 23 incoming freshmen and find their mean score...
