- Researchers were interested in whether there was a difference in physical activity (measured by average steps per day) between men and women. Activity monitors were handed out to 10 men and women and their daily steps were recorded for a week and then averaged out so that each individual had a daily average step count.

Researchers were interested in the teachers' perceptions of physical activity in children. They asked a sample of 10 elementary school grade 2 teachers to rate the physical activity level of the children in their class by filling in a questionnaire which asked about specific activities that they witness children participating in during a typical week. The questionnaire resulted in a class score out of 50 (scores could range from 0 to 50). The following is the data obtained by the...

Dependent Sample T-Test Researchers were interested in studying whether the type of food eaten influences appearance perception. Participants were shown 2 pictures of a woman eating either fast food (i.e., a burger with fries) or healthier food (i.e., a salad). The participants were then asked to rate the woman’s level of attractiveness on a scale of 1 (very unattractive) to 7 (very attractive). Given the above information, answer the questions below (assume a level of significance of .05). State the...

21) A researcher wants to know whether there is a difference in the physical activity level of children during the morning and afternoon. He observes a total of 40 children (20 boys and 20 girls) from randomly selected schools during morning and afternoon recess and gives each child a score (out of 50) based on how much of the time they spend sitting, standing, walking or running. Each child receives a score in the morning and another in the afternoon....

Researchers wanted to know if the levels of algae in a pond were hazardous to the fish that lived there. If the average levels are above 30 parts per million (ppm) the pond would be considered hazardous to the health of the fish. In the study with a 5% significance level, researchers collected data and found that the sample mean from 60 samples was 30.829. If σ = 34 , H 0: m u = 30 ; H a: μ <...

Researchers were interested whether students self-identifying as conservative or liberal at a local community college differed on Grade Point Average (GPA). The sample data were entered into a statistical software program, and the output for the F test is shown below.

In a study on the physical activity of people, researchers measured overall physical activity as the total number of registered movements (counts) over a period of time and then computed the number of counts per minute (cpm) for each subject. The study revealed that the overall physical activity of obese people has a mean of μ=322cpm and a standard deviation σ=92cpm. In a random sample of 100 obese people, consider x ̅, the sample mean counts per minute. 1) Which...
