A group of researchers hypothesize that broken bones will take longer to heal among smokers versus nonsmokers. They test this question with a sample of 20 smokers, where the average time to heal was 32 days (SS = 1161), and a sample of 45 nonsmokers, where the average time to heal was 21 days (SS = 1179). Use the critical-value approach for the appropriate statistical test (where α = .05) to determine if there is a significant difference in bone healing time between smokers and nonsmokers.
1. Identify the alternative hypothesis
5. List your critical t value(s)
6. Is the difference in healing time between smokers and nonsmokers statistically significant? (Yes/No)

A group of researchers want to determine if life satisfaction declines following divorce. To test this hypothesis, they collected data on life satisfaction from 45 individuals at two time points: 6 months before divorce and 1 month after divorce. They observed that the average life satisfaction at time 1 was 6.5 and the average life satisfaction at time 2 was 5.9. The sum of squares for the difference scores (SSD) was 210. Use the critical-value approach for a dependent samples...

Researchers hypothesize that learning through imitation will improve self-care skills. For 6 months the researchers worked with mentally impaired individuals in which half were taught self-care skills through imitation and the other half through physically guided practice. At the end of the 6 months individuals were asked to independently perform the self-care task and were rated on the level of required assistance where a higher score means more assistance. What can the researchers conclude with an α of 0.01. The...

8. A random sample of 25 college males was obtained and each was
asked to report their actual height and what they wished as their
ideal height. A 95% confidence interval for μd= average difference
between their ideal and actual heights was 0.8" to 2.2". Based on
this interval, which one of the null hypotheses below (versus a
two-sided alternative)can be rejected?
A. H0: μd= 0.5
B. H0: μd= 1.0
C. H0: μd= 1.5

People gain weight when they take in more energy from food than they expend. Some researchers wanted to investigate the link between obesity and energy spent on daily activity. Choose 20 healthy volunteers who don't exercise. Deliberately choose 10 who are lean and 10 who are mildly obese but still healthy. Attach sensors that monitor the subjects' every move for 10 days. The table below presents data on the time (in minutes per day) that the subjects spent standing or...

The first two questions refer to the following information: Researchers developed an online tool to help ESL students learn prepositions and metaphors. A study measuring academic success in ESL students randomly sampled 100 Spanish speaking ESL students using traditional ESL classes and the new language tool and 81 Portuguese speaking ESL students using traditional ESL classes and the new language tool, and scored them on a common English fluency scale (higher score representing greater degree of fluency). The researchers suspected...

Future Time Orientation and Condom Use for AIDS
Prevention
Background Notes: Researchers administered questionnaires to
male college students taking an introductory psychology course.
Among other things, they measured future time orientation defined
as planning ahead for future events and willingness to delay
gratification. (Sample item: “I believe that a person’s day should
be planned ahead.”) Based on the scores on the future time
orientation scale, they split the male students into two groups –
one low in future orientation and...
