Sohal‚ S 04/05/11 (HLT-362 V) Applied Statistics for Healthcare Professionals Exercise 18 Q1. Assuming that the distribution is normal for weight relative to the ideal and 99% of the male participants scored between ( - 53.68‚ 64.64)‚where did 95% of the values for weight relative to the ideal lie? Round your answer to two decimal places. Answer: Mean of weight relative to ideal = 5.48 and Standard Deviation (σ) = 22.93. Calculation: (x bar) 1.96(σ) 5.48± 1.96(22.93) 5.48 - 1.96(22.93)

CHAPTER 1 Individuals are the objects described by a set of data. Individuals may be people‚ but they may also be animals or things. A variable is any change of an individual. A variable can take different values for different individuals. A categorical variable places an individual into one of several groups or categories. A quantitative variable takes numerical values for which arithmetic operations such as adding and averaging make sense. The distribution of a variable tells us what values

EXERCISE 29 t-TEST FOR INDEPENDENT GROUPS I STATISTICAL TECHNIQUE IN REVIEW The t-test is a parametric analysis technique used to determine significant differences between the scores obtained from two groups. The t-test uses the standard deviation to estimate the standard error of the sampling distribution and examines the differences between the means of the two groups. Since the t-test is considered fairly easy to calculate‚ researchers often use it in determining differences between two groups
