Suppose you are trying to understand how children's IQ is related to their mothers' IQ. You measure 100 children's IQs and their mothers' IQs. What statistical test should you use to analyze the data? A) z-test B) an independent samples t-test C) a related samples t-test D) a one-way ANOVA

Step 1
1) The research is looking at the relationship between two variables (children's IQ and mothers' IQ), so the appropriate statistical test is a correlation analysis. Show more…

A nationwide survey conducted in 2019 asked a random sample of US adults, "During the past 12 months, about how many books did you read either all or part of the way through? Please include any print, electronic, or audiobooks you may have read or listened to." The survey results reported the mean number of books read to be 13.5. Annie is a library science major and wonders if adults who have a library card report reading more books in a year than the nationally reported mean. She obtains a random sample of 19 adults with a library card from her community library and asks them the same survey question. From her results, she calculates a sample mean of 15.8 and a standard deviation of 4.339. Round all calculated values to 4 decimal places as appropriate. 1. Annie wants to use a hypothesis test to answer her research question. Which test should she use? A. t test for sample mean B. χ2 goodness of fit test C. χ2 test of independence D. Z test for difference of two population proportions E. Z test for one population proportion 2. Which set of hypotheses should Annie use to answer her research question? A. H0: μ = 13.5 vs. Ha: μ < 13.5 B. H0: μ = 13.5 vs. Ha: μ ≠ 13.5 C. H0: μ < 15.8 vs. Ha: μ > 15.8 D. H0: μ = 13.5 vs. Ha: μ > 13.5 3. What conditions must be met for the hypothesis test to be valid? Select all that apply: A. Annie's sample observations must be independent. B. Annie's sample observations must be normally distributed. C. Annie must have at least 10 people in her sample who say they read a book last year and at least 10 who did not. D. Annie must be able to assume that the number of books US adults read in a year is normally distributed because her sample size is less than 30. 4. What is the test statistic? 5. Annie calculates a p-value of 0.016459. Which of the following are correct interpretations of the p-value? Select all that apply: A. A p-value of 0.016459 means we have strong evidence that the null hypothesis is true. B. A p-value of 0.016459 means we have strong evidence against the null hypothesis. C. A p-value of 0.016459 means that there is a 1.6459% chance that the null model is a good fit for the observed data. D. Under the null model, we would expect a sample mean of 15.8 or more approximately 1.6459% of the time in repeated sampling. 6. Calculate the effect size for Annie's hypothesis test. d hat = 7. Annie shares her ideas with two friends in her major, Tony and Justin, who decide to conduct similar hypothesis tests with samples from their own hometown libraries. Tony obtains a sample size of 20, a p-value of 0.167, and an effect size of 0.55. Justin obtains a sample size of 47, a p-value of 0.0023, and an effect size of 0.58. Do Justin's results confirm or conflict with Tony's result? Why or why not?
