Three students, Linda, Tuan, and Javier, are given laboratory rats for a nutritional experiment. Each rat's weight is recorded in grams. Linda feeds her rats Formula A, Tuan feeds his rats Formula B, and Javier feeds his rats Formula C. At the end of a specified time period, each rat is weighed again, and the net gain in grams is recorded.

Assume that all distributions are normal, the three population standard deviations are all the same, and the data was collected independently and randomly. Use a level of significance of α=0.01α=0.01.

24.Rolling Die Two dice are rolled. Find the probability of getting

a.A sum of 8, 9, or 10

b.Doubles or a sum of 7

c.A sum greater than 9 or less than 4

d.Based on the answers to a, b, and c, which is least likely to occur?

The fact that confidence intervals and hypothesis tests are both used to determine statistical significance means that they can be used interchangeably and give us the same information.

Rationale:

A researcher wants to know if the news station a person watches is a factor in the amount of time (in minutes) that they watch. The table below shows data that was collected from a survey.

Assume that all distributions are normal, the three population standard deviations are all the same, and the data was collected independently and randomly. Use a level of significance of α=0.01α=0.01.

For this assignment, you will create a cross tabs and conduct a chi-square test of independence. Begin by asking some of your friends or acquaintances (you'll need both males and females) what their favorite pet type is, out of a dog, a cat, a hamster, or a lizard. Then, create a cross tabs (you can use the following template) with this information. Crosstabs: Gender and Favorite Pet Type Dog Cat Hamster Lizard Total Female Male Total Once you have completed a cross tabs, create a report of 1-2 pages in which you address the following: Explain whether or not you expect there to be a significant relationship between these variables based on the information you've collected. Then, conduct a chi-square test for your data. Use the appropriate table in your textbook to determine if the result is significant. Explain what this implies for the variables.

For this discussion, you will create an example to which the chi-square test of independence could be applied. Develop a main response in which you address the following:

• Identify two categorical variables for which a chi-square test of independence could be conducted.
• Describe the categories of each.
• Explain why these would be appropriate for this test.
• Predict whether or not the chi-square test result would be significant, and what this would imply about the variables.
