Assignment: 1. Perform The Following Steps

This document provides instructions for 5 modules that involve performing hypothesis tests on various data sets. Module 1 involves testing the relationship between hospital beds and staffed beds. Module 2 tests whether different methods for combating midday drowsiness are equally distributed. Module 3 examines the relationship between class of vertebrate and endangered/threatened status. Module 4 tests for differences in sodium content between food types. Module 5 uses the Wilcoxon rank sum test to examine differences in lifetime distributions between two brands of video games.

ASSIGNMENT

Module 1
1. perform the following steps.
a. Draw the scatter plot for the variables.
b. Compute the value of the correlation coefficient.
c. State the hypotheses.
d. Test the significance of the correlation coefficient at α = 0.05, using Table I.
e. Give a brief explanation of the type of relationship.

1. Hospital Beds A hospital administrator wants to see if there is a relationship between the
number of licensed beds and the number of staffed beds in local hospitals. The data for a
specific day are shown. Describe the relationship.

Module 2
2. Perform these steps.
a. State the hypotheses and identify the claim.
b. Find the critical value.
c. Compute the test value.
d. Make the decision.
e. Summarize the results.
Use the traditional method of hypothesis testing unless otherwise specified.
2. Combatting Midday Drowsiness A researcher wishes to see if the five ways (drinking
decaffeinated beverages, taking a nap, going for a walk, eating a sugary snack, other) people
use to combat midday drowsiness are equally distributed among office workers. A sample of
60 office workers is selected, and the following data are obtained. At α = 0.10 can it be
concluded that there is no preference? Why would the results be of interest to an employer?

Module 3
3. Perform the following steps.
a. State the hypotheses and identify the claim.
b. Find the critical value.
c. Compute the test value.
d. Make the decision.
e. Summarize the results.

Use the traditional method of hypothesis testing unless otherwise specified.

3. Endangered or Threatened Species Can you conclude a relationship between the class of
vertebrate and whether it is endangered or threatened? Use the 0.05 level of significance. Is there
a different result for the 0.01 level of significance?

Module 4
4. Assume that all variables are normally distributed, that the samples are independent,
and that the population variances are equal. Also, for each exercise, perform the following
steps.
a. State the hypotheses and identify the claim.
b. Find the critical value.
c. Compute the test value.
d. Make the decision.
e. Summarize the results, and explain where the differences in the means are.

Use the traditional method of hypothesis testing unless otherwise specified.


4. Sodium Contents of Foods The amount of sodium (in milligrams) in one serving for a
random sample of three different kinds of foods is listed here. At the 0.05 level of
significance, is there sufficient evidence to conclude that a difference in mean sodium
amounts exists among condiments, cereals, and desserts?

Module 5
5. Use the Wilcoxon rank sum test. Assume that the samples are independent. Also perform
each of these steps.
a. State the hypotheses and identify the claim.
b. Find the critical value(s).
c. Compute the test value.
d. Make the decision.
e. Summarize the results.
Use the traditional method of hypothesis testing unless otherwise specified.
5. Lifetimes of Handheld Video Games To test the claim that there is no difference in the
lifetimes of two brands of handheld video games, a researcher selects a sample of 11
video games of each brand. The lifetimes (in months) of each brand are shown here. At α
= 0.01, can the researcher conclude that there is a difference in the distributions of
lifetimes for the two brands?
