Suppose we want to look at the relationship between health-related behaviors of parents (rated 1-5 from least to most healthy) and heights of firstborn children at age 8. Which test would be most appropriate here?
Added by Cheryl G.
Step 1
We have two main variables: the health-related behaviors of parents (an ordinal variable rated from 1 to 5) and the heights of firstborn children at age 8 (a continuous variable). Show more…

From the list shown below, each of the following hypothesis testing situations indicates the type of test you would use. Unless otherwise stated, the significance level for all the tests is 0.05. d) A researcher is interested in identifying how the relationship between the blood pressure levels of newborns and infants relates to subsequent adult blood pressure. The researchers found that the blood pressure of a newborn is affected by several extraneous factors such as birth weight and the day of life on which blood pressure is measured. In this study, the infants were weighed at the time of the blood pressure measurements. The researchers referred to this weight as the "birth weight," although it differs somewhat from the actual weight at birth. Because the infants grow in the first few days of life, the researchers expected that infants seen at 5 days of life would, on average, have a greater weight than those seen at 2 days of life. The dependent variable was systolic blood pressure, and the independent variables were birth weight and age in days. Answer Choices: - Kruskal-Wallis - Multiple linear regression - Spearman rank correlation - Simple linear regression - One-way ANOVA e) An investigator is interested in predicting cholesterol level (dependent variable) using body weight as the independent variable. The researcher believes that blood pressure, gender, age, and diet may be potential confounders. Answer Choices: - Kruskal-Wallis - Multiple linear regression - Spearman rank correlation - Simple linear regression - One-way ANOVA f) After finding that there is a correlation between birth weight (dependent variable) and gestational age (independent variable), a researcher wants to investigate how birth weight depends on gestational age. Answer Choices: - Kruskal-Wallis - Multiple linear regression - Spearman rank correlation - Simple linear regression - One-way ANOVA

There is a group of researchers at USC who is interested in how genetic and environmental factors affect the height of people in the United States. The researchers collect a dataset of 20,000 volunteers in the United States and record: height, gender, caloric intake, age, and average height of the persons parents. They want to analyze all of the data together to figure out which factors best predict height. 1. What type of graph should they use to display their data: [ Select ] 2. What type of analysis should they use to analyze their data: [ Select ] Two-factor ANOVA Multiple Linear Regression One-factor ANOVA Simple Linear Regression Chi-square test for independence Chi-square goodness of fit test

Imagine you conducted a study to look at the association between whether expectant mothers in two different age groups (18-30 and 31-43 years) eat breakfast (or not) and the gender of the first-born child. Which of the following options would be the most appropriate method of analysing these data? Answer choices A. Chi-square test B. Three-way repeated-measures ANOVA C. Loglinear analysis D. Two-way mixed analysis of covariance
