A team of psychologists hypothesize that feeling sick is associated with liking a flavor. They design a study in which rats are randomly split into two group. In one group the rats are given an injection of lithium chloride immediately following consumption of saccharin-flavored water. Lithium chloride makes rats feel sick. The rats in the other group were not given Lithium chloride after drinking the flavored water. The next day, all rats could drink saccharin-flavored water. The amount of saccharin-flavored water consumed (in milliliters) for all rat for the next day are given below. What can the psychologists conclude with α = 0.01?

c) Compute the appropriate test statistic(s) to make a decision about H0.
(Hint: Make sure to write down the null and alternative hypotheses to help solve the problem.)
p-value =  ; Decision:  ---Select--- Reject H0 Fail to reject H0

d) Using the SPSS results, compute the corresponding effect size(s) and indicate magnitude(s).
If not appropriate, input and/or select "na" below.

e) Make an interpretation based on the results.

Rats that were given lithium chloride drank significantly more saccharin-flavored water than those that were not given lithium chloride.Rats that were given lithium chloride drank significantly less saccharin-flavored water than those that were not given lithium chloride.    There is no significant difference in saccharin-flavored water drank between rats that were given lithium chloride and those that were not.

14. A common design requirement is that an environment must fit the range of people who fall between the 5th percentile for women and the 95th percentile for men. In designing an assembly work​ table, the sitting knee height must be​ considered, which is the distance from the bottom of the feet to the top of the knee. Males have sitting knee heights that are normally distributed with a mean of 21.1 in. and a standard deviation of 1.1 in. Females have sitting knee heights that are normally distributed with a mean of 19.4 in. and a standard deviation of 1.0 in. Use this information to answer the following questions.

1. What is the minimum table clearance required to satisfy the requirement of fitting​ 95% of​ men?____​(Round to one decimal place as​ needed.)

2. Determine if the following statement is true or false. If there is clearance for 95% of males, there will certainly be clearance for all women in the bottom 5%.

A. The statement is true because some women will have sitting knee heights that are outliers.

B. The statement is false because some women will have sitting knee heights that are outliers.

C. The statement is true because the 95th percentile for men is greater than the 5th percentile for women.

D. The statement is false because the 95th percentile for men is greater than the 5th percentile for women.

3. The author is writing this exercise at a table with a clearance of 23.9 in. above the floor. What percentage of men fit this table?

4. What percentage of women fit this table?

5. Does the table appear to be made to fit almost everyone? Choose the correct answer below.

A. The table will fit almost everyone except about 22% of men with the largest sitting knee heights.

B. The table will fit only 22% of men.

C. The table will only fit 1% of women.

D. Not enough information to determine if the table appears to be made to fit almost everyone.

15.The lengths of pregnancies are normally distributed with a mean of 269 days and a standard deviation of 15 days.

a. Find the probability of a pregnancy lasting 308 days or longer.____​(Round to four decimal places as​ needed.)

b. If the length of pregnancy is in the lowest 4​%, then the baby is premature. Find the length that separates premature babies from those who are not premature.____​(Round to four decimal places as​ needed.)

A TV manufacture is supplied with a certain component by a specialist producer. Each incoming consignments is subject to the following quality control procedure. A random sample of 10 components is individually tested. If there are one or more defective components among the 10 tested, the entire consignment is rejected. If there are no defective components in the sample, the consignment is accepted.

i)What are the probabilities of a consignment being rejected if the true proportions of defective components are:

1) 1%

2) 10%

3) 30%

ii) if a sample of 20 components ( instead of 10) were tested,and the consignment rejected if two or more proved defective, calaculate the probabilities of rejecting a consignment for the same proportions of defective components( i.e 1%,10% and 30%)

iii) which quality control procedure do u think is the better

One of the local hospitals wants to assure that they have enough nurses for incoming patients needing assistance, especially in the emergency room. To insure there are enough nurses on duty, but not an overage which would waste hospital resources, the following data regarding the number of patients entering the hospital over the last several weeks has been gathered. The data does not include weekend patient traffic, as the hospital has previously done a similar study and staffed weekends appropriately. You are to analyze the data using ANOVA methodology and determine if there are any differences in the number of patients served by the day of the week. If you find there are differences, which days seem to be the busiest? You are to write a report to the hospital nursing manager of your findings. Be sure to include the problem statement (what you were asked to do), your analysis (include the statistical methodology used with graphs, charts, formulas, etc.), and your findings, along with a recommendation for staffing.

To help aid in what should be in your first Case Study, you can use this as a quick checklist of the most important things. This isn't all inclusive as you are expected to write out what you did, why you did it and explain your logic. - hypothesis and null hypothesis - ANOVA - a follow-up statistical test/s to show where the differences are occurring - graphs/charts/tables referencing your analyses and findings - results as well as what we can conclude and what the next steps/decisions of the hospital should be
