A study reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association investigated the cardiac demands of heavy snow shoveling. Ten healthy men underwent exercise testing with a treadmill and a cycle ergometer modified for arm cranking. The men then cleared two tracts of heavy, wet snow by using a lightweight plastic snow shovel and an electric snow thrower. Each subject’s heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen uptake, and perceived exertion during snow removal were compared with the values obtained during treadmill and arm-crank ergometer testing. Suppose the following table gives the heart rates in beats per minute for each of the 10 subjects.
At the .05 level of significance, test for any significant differences.

- The glycemic index (GI) is a rating system for foods containing carbohydrates. It shows how quickly each food affects your blood sugar (glucose) level when that food is eaten on its own. A random sample of 33 children were provided with a breakfast of low GI foods on one day and high GI foods on another. The two breakfasts contained the same quantities of carbohydrate, fat and protein. On each day a buffet lunch was provided, and the number of calories eaten at lunchtime were recorded. On the first day the children ate a low GI breakfast and on the second day a high GI breakfast. Let be the true mean of the differences in calorie intake for a high GI and a low GI breakfast, respectively. The researcher wants to conduct inference on to determine whether the kind of breakfast eaten has an effect on mean calorie intake. The differences are calculated as calorie intake after high-GI breakfast minus calorie intake after low-GI breakfast. The sample mean of the differences of 63.543…arrow_forwardThe spotted lanternfly, Lycorma delicatula, is an invasive species to the United States that has the potential to do significant agricultural damage. An ecologist is studying the relationship between the size of the female spotted lanternflies and the number of eggs they produce. The data are summarized below. Length of insect: AVG = 1 inch, SD = 0.15 inchNumber of eggs: AVG = 40 eggs, SD = 5 eggsr = 0.2 Using regression, we can say that the average number of eggs produced by female spotted lanternflies who are 1.1 inch long is closest to...

A study considered mean cadence (steps per minute) for subjects using no walking device, a standard walker, a rolling walker, and a guided walker. In addition, the cadence was measured when the subjects had to perform dual tasks. The second task was to respond vocally to a signal while walking. Cadence was measured for subjects who were just walking (using no device, a standard walker, a rolling walker, or a guided walker) and for subjects required to respond to a signal while walking.

Roy’s is currently charging $1.29 per gallon. To check that the average price for this gasoline for all stations within a 15 mile radius is higher than his price, Roy randomly samples the price of unleaded gasoline at ten stations located in this area. He obtains the following data for the price per gallon (in dollars): 1.7, 1.5, 2.6, 2.2, 2.4, 2.3, 2.6, 3.0, 1.4, 2.3 Set up the appropriate hypotheses and test them using a significance level of α= .05arrow_forward
