STA 6166 – Exam 2 – Fall 2015 PRINT Name ______________________Conduct all tests at = 0.05 significance levelQ.1. A study was conducted to compare stress and anger among students from 2 cultures (Indian and Iranian). Samples of size 100 were collected among males and females from each culture. One (of many) scale reported was the Anger Expression Index among females. The sum of the ranks for n1 = 100 Indian females was 8241, and the sum of ranks for the n2 = 100 Iranian females was 11859. Use the large-sample Wilcoxon Rank-Sum Test to test whether population median anger expression scales differ among Indian and Iranian female students.Test Statistic = ______________ Rejection Region: _________________________ P-value > < 0.05Q.2. Ultrasound measurements were made on mice of 2 Age Groups (Adult Mice, n1=10 and Old Mice, n2=9). The standard deviations of the pulse rates were S1 = 70 and S2 = 49, respectively. Test:H0: vs HA: ≠Test Statistic = ______________ Rejection Region: _________________________ P-value > < 0.05Q.3. A sample of n = 93 lobsters at Devil’s Hole was obtained with sample mean and standard deviation carapace lengths measured as 37.6 mm and 7.1 mm, respectively. Obtain a 95% Confidence Interval for the population standard deviation of lengths at this site. Hint: Obtain a 95% CI for the variance, then obtain square roots of the upper and lower bounds.95% Confidence Interval for : _________________________________________________________Q.4. A study measured serum androstenedione levels in a sample of n = 10 women polycystic ovarian syndrome. Measurements were made pre- and post-laparoscopic ovarian drilling (see table below). p.4.a. Use the paired t-test to test whether the true means differ. H0: D = 0 vs HA: D ≠ 0 Test Statistic = ______________ Rejection Region: _________________________ P-value > < 0.05p.4.b. Compute T+ and T- for the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test:T+ = __________ T- = ______________Q.5. A study was conducted, comparing reaction times among 2 groups of subjects: patients with cocaine dependence (PCD) and Healthy Controls (HC). The patients were measured for the Stop Signal Reaction Time (SSRT, in milliseconds). Results are given below.
