A study investigated whether dogs change their behavior depending on whether a person displays reliable or unreliablebehavior. Dogs were shown two containers, one empty and one containing a dog biscuit. An experimenter pointed to one ofthe two containers. If the experimenter pointed to the container with the treat on the first trial, 16 of 26 dogs followed theexperimenter's cue on the second trial. However, if the experimenter misled the dog on the first trial, only 7 of 26 dogsfollowed the cue on the second trial. Test to see if the proportion following the cue is different depending on whether theperson exhibited reliable or unreliable behavior. The standard error for the difference in proportions is 0.138.

The dataset Exercise Hours contains information on the amount of exercise (hours per week) for a sample of statisticsstudents. The mean amount of exercise was 9.4 hours for the 30 female students in the sample and 12.4 hours for the 20 malestudents. A randomization distribution of differences in means based on these data, under a null hypothesis of no differencein mean exercise time between females and males, is centered near zero and reasonably normally distributed. The standarderror for the difference in means, as estimated from the standard deviation of the randomization differences, is SE=2.38. Usethis information to test, at a 5% level, whether the data show that the mean exercise time for female statistics students is lessthan the mean exercise time of male statistics students. What is the conclusion? - Do not reject H0 and find evidence that females exercise less. - Reject H0 and find evidence that females do not exercise less. - Do not reject H0 and do not find evidence that females exercise less. - Reject H0 and find evidence that females exercise less.

Do not reject H0 and do not find evidence that females exercise less.

A study suggests that exposure to UV rays through the car window may increase the risk of skin cancer.The study reviewedthe records of all 1050 skin cancer patients referred to the St. Louis University Cancer Center in 2004. Of the 42 patients withmelanoma, the cancer occurred on the left side of the body in 31 patients and on the right side in the other 11. The authors hypothesize that skin cancers are more prevalent on the left because of the sunlightcoming in through car windows. (Windows protect against UVB rays but not UVA rays.) Do thedata in this study support a conclusion that more melanomas occur on the left side because ofincreased exposure to sunlight on that side for drivers? No answer text provided.

A study investigated whether dogs change their behavior depending on whether a person displays reliable or unreliablebehavior. Dogs were shown two containers, one empty and one containing a dog biscuit. An experimenter pointed to one ofthe two containers. If the experimenter pointed to the container with the treat on the first trial, 16 of 26 dogs followed theexperimenter's cue on the second trial. However, if the experimenter misled the dog on the first trial, only 7 of 26 dogsfollowed the cue on the second trial. Test to see if the proportion following the cue is different depending on whether theperson exhibited reliable or unreliable behavior. The standard error for the difference in proportions is 0.138. Use a 5%significance level.Let group 1 be the dogs to follow a cue from a person who is reliable and let group 2 be the dogs to follow a cue from aperson who is unreliable. What is the conclusion?
