Jade is studying the relationship between year and cereal yield (kg/ha) in Afghanistan (2000 -2023). A simple linear regression analysis yields a slope of 47.64, with SE(b1) 6.61. Assume the residuals are approximately normally distributed. The sample size is 24. What is the 95% confidence interval for the annual increase in cereal yield?

Please write your name at the top right corner of every sheet of paper you use for this portion of your exam. Question #1 – Please label your paper with the correct question number. Individuals with insomnia experience problems with sleep latency (how long it takes to fall asleep) and duration (how long sleep lasts). The average sleep latency for the population of adults with insomnia is μ = 30 minutes. A researcher at a sleep clinic is interested in the efficacy of hypnosis to reduce sleep latency. He recruits a sample of n = 70 adults with insomnia and administers a treatment program that uses hypnosis techniques specifically designed to promote sleep. After the treatment, the average sleep latency for the sample was calculated to be M = 27 minutes. Was the hypnosis treatment effective in reducing sleep latency? Use a one-tailed test with α =.01.   State the null and alternative hypotheses. Determine the critical region. *Important: You must show all of the following: critical value(s) of t, retain and rejection regions labeled and shaded, df, alpha, and the number of tails. Calculate the t You must show all work. State the conclusion. You must include all required elements of the conclusion.

Please write your name at the top right corner of every sheet of paper you use for this portion of your exam. Question #3 – Please label your paper with the correct question number. There is some evidence to suggest that you are likely to improve your test score if you rethink and change answers on a multiple-choice exam (Johnston, 1975). To examine this phenomenon, a teacher gave the same final exam to two sections of a psychology course. The students in one section were told to turn in their exams immediately after finishing, without changing any of their answers. In the other section, students were encouraged to reconsider each question and to change answers whenever they felt it was appropriate. Before the exam, the teacher had matched 25 students in the first section with 25 students in the second section, based on their midterm grades. For example, a student with an 89 on the midterm was matched with a student in the change section who also had an 89 on the midterm. The difference between the two final exam grades for each match pair was computed and the results are shown below. Did the strategy of rethinking and changing answers influence student test scores? Use a one-tailed test with α = .01. State the null and alternative hypotheses. Determine the critical region. *Important: You must show all of the following: critical value(s) of t, retain and rejection regions labeled and shaded, df, alpha, and the number of tails. Calculate the t You must show all work. State the conclusion. You must include all required elements of the conclusion.
