Recent research has demonstrated that music-based physical training for elderly people can improve balance, walking efficiency, and reduce the risk of falls. As part of training, participants walked in time to music and responded to changes in the music’s rhythm during a 1-hour per week exercise program. After 6 months, participants in the training group increased their walking speed and their stride length compared to individuals in the control group. The following stride length data are similar to the results obtained in the study: Exercise Group: 24,25,22,24,26,17,21,22,22,19,24,23,23,28,25,23 Control Group: 26,23,20,23,20,16,21,17,18,23,16,20,25,19,17,16

(a) Do the results indicate a significant difference in the stride length for the two groups? Use a two-tailed test and .01 level of significance. Show your work. Make sure to state the hypotheses being tested.

(b) Construct a 99% confidence interval to estimate the size of the population mean difference. Show your work.

physical training for elderly people can improve balance, walking efficiency, and reduce the risk of falls (Trombetti et al., 2011). As part of the training, participants walked in time to music and responded to changes in the music’s rhythm during a 1-hour per week exercise program. After 6 months, participants in the training group increased their walking speed

UPMC Hospital has been under recent pressure from stakeholders to improve cost efficiency and customer service. In response, the hospital calls in the Health Service Administration (HSA) Consulting Team of Robert Morris & Company (RMC). After initial analysis, we (HSA@RMC) decided to target the X-ray service process. We study the X-ray service process to recommend improvements. We identified the point of entry into the process as the instant that a patient leaves the physician’s office to walk to the X-ray...

A recent study in the Journal of Consumer Research suggests that appetite stimuli can make people more impatient in unrelated areas. Participants in the study, all college students, were asked to serve as photo editors for a magazine. Half were randomly selected to view appetite-stimulating pictures of desserts, and the other half viewed non-appetite-stimulating nature pictures. Then the participants were offered a choice between an apartment with a great view and an apartment close to work. The apartment with a...

1. Research has shown that elderly people who owned dogs were less likely to pay visits to their doctors after upsetting events than were those who did not own pets. Similarly, consider the following hypothetical data. A sample of elderly dog owners is compared to a similar group (in terms or age and health) who do not own dogs. The researcher records the number of visits to the doctor during the past year for each person. The data are as...

Recent research has shown that creative people are more likely to cheat than their less creative counterparts (Gino & Ariely, 2011). Participants in the study first completed creativity assessment questionnaires and then returned to the lab several days later for a series of tasks. One task was a multiple-choice general knowledge test for which the participants circled their answers on a test sheet. Afterward, they were asked to transfer their answers to bubble sheets for computer scoring. However, the experimenter...
