The relative contribution of our genes and the influence of our diet and lifestyle to obesity...

The relative contribution of our genes and the influence of our diet and lifestyle to obesity has been the subject of numerous studies. As the rates of obesity in the adult population in the U.S. are approaching 40% (according to CDC), to find the answer to the question of nature vs. nurture in obesity is becoming extremely urgent.  

In your post, explain in detail how nurture and nature can contribute to the development of obesity. What are the two most convincing pieces of evidence that both genetic and environmental factors play significant roles in the development of obesity? The answer must be at least 120 words with at least one references.

A recent debate about where in the United States skiers believe the skiing is best prompted the following survey. Test to see if the best ski area is independent of the level of the skier. (Use a significance level of 0.05.)

U.S. Ski Area Beginner Intermediate Advanced
Tahoe 20 28 39
Utah 11 29 62
Colorado 11 41 52
  • Part (a)

    State the null hypothesis.

    Ski area is dependent on the level of the skier.Ski area is independent of the level of the skier.    

  • Part (b)

    State the alternative hypothesis.

    Ski area is independent of the level of the skier.Ski area is dependent on the level of the skier.    

  • Part (c)

    What are the degrees of freedom? (Enter an exact number as an integer, fraction, or decimal.)
    (No Response)

  • Part (d)

    State the distribution to use for the test.

    χ22

    t4

        

    χ24

    t2

  • Part (e)

    What is the test statistic? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
    (No Response)

  • Part (f)

    What is the p-value? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
    (No Response)

    Explain what the p-value means for this problem.

    If H0 is false, then there is a chance equal to the p-value that the value of the test statistic will be equal to or less than the calculated value.If H0 is false, then there is a chance equal to the p-value that the value of the test statistic will be equal to or greater than the calculated value.    If H0 is true, then there is a chance equal to the p-value that the value of the test statistic will be equal to or less than the calculated value.If H0 is true, then there is a chance equal to the p-value that the value of the test statistic will be equal to or greater than the calculated value.

  • Part (g)

    Sketch a picture of this situation. Label and scale the horizontal axis, and shade the region(s) corresponding to the p-value.
  • Part (h)

    Indicate the correct decision ("reject" or "do not reject" the null hypothesis) and write the appropriate conclusion.(i) Alpha:
    α = (No Response)

    (ii) Decision:

    reject the null hypothesisdo not reject the null hypothesis    


    (iii) Reason for decision:

    Since α < p-value, we do not reject the null hypothesis.Since α > p-value, we reject the null hypothesis.    Since α > p-value, we do not reject the null hypothesis.Since α < p-value, we reject the null hypothesis.


    (iv) Conclusion:

    The best ski area and level of skier are independent.The best ski area and level of skier are not independent.

Ponceau S is a red dye that reversibly binds to all proteins. We will use this stain prior to developing the Western blot next week with antibodies. Assume that you do not observe any protein bands on the nitrocellulose blot after performing the Ponceau S stain. Describe one likely procedural error during the transfer set-up that would account for this observation.
