Q1) A study is conducted to understand the daily water intake of people from different places. Seven people from Hong Kong, seven people from London and six people from New York are involved in the study. The amount of water these people drink in a day (in centilitre) are recorded :

Hong Kong 25.9 19.9 19.3 19.2 19.9 21.4 22.0

London 18.8 23.4 22.9 20.1 14.8 20.0 22.7

New York 17.6 14.6 14.6 18.8 15 14.5

(a) Test, at the 0.05 level of significance, whether there is a difference among the mean daily water intake from these three places.

(b) State the p-value in (a) and indicate whether it leads to the same conclusion.

A study of fast-food intake is described the the paper "What People Buy From Fast-Food Restaurants" (Obesity, 2009, pages 1369-1374). Adult customers at three hamburger chains (McDonald's, Burger King and Wendy's) in New York City were approached as they entered the restaurant at lunchtime and asked to provide their receipt when exiting. The receipts were then used to determine what was purchased and the number of calories consumed was determined. In all, 3857 people participated in the study. The sample...

It is recommended that the daily intake of sodium be 2600 mg per day. From a previous study on a particular ethnic group, the prior distribution of sodium intake is believed to be normal with mean 3000 mg and standard deviation 300 mg. If a recent survey resulted in a mean of 3500 mg and standard deviation of 350 mg. Obtain a 99% Credible Interval for the mean intake of sodium for this ethnic group. Let n=1 . You don't...

For some reason people care about how acidic fresh water is. Two researchers conducted a study of 15 mountain lakes in the Southern Alps; any lake that has a pH greater than 6 would be classfied as "non-acidic." Below is a table of the pH levels from the 15 lakes the researchers surveyed: pH values of 15 Alpine Lakes 7.2 7.3 5.7 7.3 6.3 6.9 6.1 5.5 6.7 6.9 6.3 7.9 6.6 6.5 5.8 The standard deviation of the sample...

Tasmanian researchers conducted a case –control study to investigate the effect of dietary fat intake on skin cancer. They hypothesised that people whose dietary fat intake is low will be more susceptible to skin cancer. The study compared 500 cases of melanoma with 500 controls who were randomly selected from the state’s electoral roll. The researchers categorised the dietary fat intake into three categories High, Moderate and Low. They found that among skin cancer patients 150 were classified at the...

The following data from a random sample represents the average daily energy intake in kJ for each of eleven healthy women: 5260    5470     5640     6180     6390     6515     6805     7515     7515    8230     8770      Interest centred on comparing these data with an underlying mean daily energy intake of 7725 kJ This was the recommended daily intake. Departures from this mean in either direction were considered to be of interest. Assuming that the population is normal and the population variance is unknown. An appropriate two-tailed hypothesis test at the 5% level of significance...
