A group of researchers compiled data on the prevalence of adult binge drinking on the prevalence of underage drinking in 42 states. A correlation of 0.32 was reported.
a) test the null hypothesis that the population correlation p=0 against the alternative that p>0. Are the results significant at the 5% level?
b) Explain this correlation in terms of the direction of the association and the percent of variability in the prevalence of underage drinking that is explained by the prevalence of adult binge drinking.

A group of researchers was concerned with the growing prevalence of peanut allergies in Western countries and decided to investigate the effectiveness of two alternative approaches to treatment. They recruited 98 infants with a diagnosed peanut allergy and randomly assigned them either to consume small amounts of peanuts regularly or to completely avoid peanuts until 60 months of age. At the end of that time they recorded which infants were still allergic to peanuts. The following plot and summary table...

A group of researchers on Sable Island are wondering whether the grey seals pups on the west side of the Island grow at different rates than those on the east side of the island. To test this they measured the weight of 21 one week old grey seal pups on the west side of the island and 28 one week old grey pups on the east side of the island.

In a study, researchers randomly assigned 500 people to the “treatment group” and the other 500 to the “control (or placebo) group”. A statistically significant difference was reported between the responses of the two groups with p-value < 0.005. What is the best conclusion? A. There is little evidence that the treatment has any effect. B. Here is strong evidence that the treatment is effective. C. Using a 5% significance level, we can conclude that the treatment was not effective,...
