         A group of researchers wants to determine if Caucasians and African-Americans are equally likely to inherit cystic fibrosis (CF). They collect data on cystic fibrosis (yes/no) and calculate frequencies for each group. They collected data from 820 people overall. They observed the following frequencies: White-YesCF (80), White-NoCF (430), Black-YesCF (16), Black-NoCF (294). Use a two-variable chi-square analysis (where α = .01) to determine if there are significant differences in cystic fibrosis by race.

        7.      Identify the null hypothesis

        8.      List your degrees of freedom

        9.      List the expected frequency (raw number) for White patients with cystic fibrosis

A university wants to determine if students from different majors are equally likely to be cited for academic dishonesty. They average instances of documented cheating across 10 years for three different academic majors and find the following results: Business Administration (M = 5.1; N = 10), Fine Art (M = 1.9; N = 10), and Nursing (M = 3.2; N = 10). They also calculated the between-group and within-group sum of squares (SSB = 301.6; SSW =1343.8). Use a one-way...
