Independent and Dependent Samples Which of the following involve independent samples?

a. Data Set 14 鈥淥scar Winner Age鈥� in Appendix B includes pairs of ages of actresses and actors at the times that they won Oscars for Best Actress and Best Actor categories. The pair of ages of the winners is listed for each year, and each pair consists of ages matched according to the year that the Oscars were won.

b. Data Set 15 鈥淧residents鈥� in Appendix B includes heights of elected presidents along with the heights of their main opponents. The pair of heights is listed for each election.

c. Data Set 26 鈥淐ola Weights and Volumes鈥� in Appendix B includes the volumes of the contents in 36 cans of regular Coke and the volumes of the contents in 36 cans of regular Pepsi.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. It is a dependent sample.

b. It is a dependent sample.

c. It is an independent sample.

Step by step solution

01

Define independent and dependent samples

Independent samples were taken from two populations. The values are not associated with one other.

Dependent samples have a relationship between values such that each value of one sample is related to another value of another sample.

02

Identify the samples

a. Any pair of actors and actress is related by the year in which they won the Oscars. Hence, each pair consists of ages matched according to the year or time. Thus, the samples are dependent.

b. Any pair of presidents and opponents recorded for height are related by the year of election. Thus, the samples are dependent.

c. The two samples for contents of 36 cans in each group, Pepsi and Cokeare not related to each other. Thus, the samplesare independent.

Only part (c) describes independent samples.

Degrees of FreedomIn Exercise 20 鈥淏lanking Out on Tests,鈥� using the 鈥渟maller of\({n_1} - 1\) and \({n_2} - 1\)鈥� for the number of degrees of freedom results in df = 15. Find the number of degrees of freedom using Formula 9-1. In general, how are hypothesis tests and confidence intervals affected by using Formula 9-1 instead of the 鈥渟maller of \({n_1} - 1\)and \({n_2} - 1\)鈥�?

Testing Claims About Proportions. In Exercises 7鈥�22, test the given claim. Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value or critical value(s), then state the conclusion about the null hypothesis, as well as the final conclusion that addresses the original claim.

Bednets to Reduce Malaria In a randomized controlled trial in Kenya, insecticide-treated bednets were tested as a way to reduce malaria. Among 343 infants using bednets, 15 developed malaria. Among 294 infants not using bednets, 27 developed malaria (based on data from 鈥淪ustainability of Reductions in Malaria Transmission and Infant Mortality in Western Kenya with Use of Insecticide-Treated Bednets,鈥� by Lindblade et al., Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 291, No. 21). We want to use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the incidence of malaria is lower for infants using bednets.

a. Test the claim using a hypothesis test.

b. Test the claim by constructing an appropriate confidence interval.

c. Based on the results, do the bednets appear to be effective?

Interpreting Displays.

In Exercises 5 and 6, use the results from the given displays.

Treating Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common wrist complaintresulting from a compressed nerve, and it is often the result of extended use of repetitive wristmovements, such as those associated with the use of a keyboard. In a randomized controlledtrial, 73 patients were treated with surgery and 67 were found to have successful treatments.Among 83 patients treated with splints, 60 were found to have successful treatments (based ondata from 鈥淪plinting vs Surgery in the Treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome,鈥� by Gerritsenet al., Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 288, No. 10). Use the accompanyingStatCrunch display with a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the success rate is better with surgery.

esting Claims About Proportions. In Exercises 7鈥�22, test the given claim. Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value or critical value(s), then state the conclusion about the null hypothesis, as well as the final conclusion that addresses the original claim.

Accuracy of Fast Food Drive-Through Orders In a study of Burger King drive-through orders, it was found that 264 orders were accurate and 54 were not accurate. For McDonald鈥檚, 329 orders were found to be accurate while 33 orders were not accurate (based on data from QSR magazine). Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that Burger King and McDonald鈥檚 have the same accuracy rates.

a. Test the claim using a hypothesis test.

b. Test the claim by constructing an appropriate confidence interval.

c. Relative to accuracy of orders, does either restaurant chain appear to be better?
