Do people who diet score higher than people in general on a measure of health?
For people in general, the avg on this test is 70 with a SD of 12. The distribution is normal. A researcher tested a sample of 36 people who diet & found them to have a mean score of 82. Use the .05 significance level for this question.
A. Complete the 5 steps of hypothesis testing for this problem
B. Write a conclusion for this hypothesis test. Be sure to include the statistical info at the end of the sentence
C. Figure the 95% confidence interval for estimating the mean health score of people who diet

A health psychologist knew that corporate executives in
general have an average score of 80 with a standard deviation of 12
on a stress inventory and that the scores are normally distributed.
In order to learn whether corporate executives who exercise
regularly have lower stress scores, the psychologist measured the
stress of 20 exercising executives and found them to have a mean
score of 72. Is this significant at the .05 level? SD=13.28,
SS=41.22

1) Researchers wanted to see if people who exercise regularly
sleep better than people who don't. They took a random sample of
adult males and surveyed them about their exercise routine and
their sleep duration. Is there a statistically significant
difference of quality of sleep between those who exercise and those
who don’t? Summarized data are seen below. Conduct a hypothesis
test and construct a 95% confidence interval for the population
difference.

A researcher is interested in whether people become worse at
identifying emotions correctly when they are tired. It is known
that, using a particular method of assessment, the accuracy ratings
of people in the general population (who are not extremely tired)
are normally distributed with a mean of 82 and a standard deviation
of 20. In the present study, however, the researcher arranges to
test 50 people who had no sleep the previous night to see if they
will do...

1. A social researcher wants to test the hypothesis that people
who drink a lot while bowling have higher scores than people who do
not drink while they bowl. The researcher studies 50 drinking
bowlers and 50 non-drinking bowlers. The average score for drinking
bowlers was 142 with a standard deviation of 7.45. The average
score for non-drinking bowlers was 134 with a standard deviation of
6.81.

hypothesis?

A researcher wants to
determine whether high school students who attend an SAT
preparation course score significantly different on the SAT than
students who do not attend the preparation course. For those who do
not attend the course, the population mean is 1050 (? = 1050). The
16 students who attend the preparation course average 1150 on the
SAT, with a sample standard deviation of 300. On the basis of these
data, can the researcher conclude that the preparation course...

A researcher asks whether people will score higher on a
questionnaire measuring well-being when they are exposed to lots of
sunshine compared to when they’re not exposed to lower levels of
sunshine. A sample of 8 people is first measured after low levels
of sunshine exposure and then again after high levels of
exposure. The researcher collects the well-being scores
given below. What should the researcher conclude about
these results, α =.01?
Low: 14 13 17 15 18 17 14 16
High: 18 12 20 19 22 19 19 16
Test the hypothesis using the 5-step method. (18...

Oishi and Shigehiro (2010) report that people who move from home
to home frequently as children tend to have lower than average
well-being as adults. To further examine this relationship, a
psychologist obtains a sample of 12 young adults who each
experienced 5 or more different homes before they were 16 years
old. These participants were given a standardized questionnaire for
which the general population has an average score of 40. For this
sample, the average well-being score was 37...
