At what age do babies learn to crawl? Does it take longer to learn in the winter when babies are often bundled in clothes that restrict their movement? Data were collected from parents who brought their babies into the University of Denver Infant Study Center to participate in one of a number of experiments between 1988 and 1991. Parents reported the birth month and the age at which their child was first able to creep or crawl a distance of four feet within one minute. The resulting data were grouped by month of birth. The data are for January, May, and September
AverageBirth month crawling age SD nJanuary 29.84 7.08 32May 28.58 8.07 27September 33.83 6.93 38
Crawling age is given in weeks. Assume the data come from three independent simple random samples, one from each of the three populations (babies born in a particular month) and that the populations of crawling ages have normal…

In a study by Zuckerman and Heneghan, hemodynamic stresses were measured on subjects undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. An outcome variable of interest was the ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) measured in mm. A portion of the data appears in the following table. Baseline refers to a measurement taken 5 minutes after induction of anesthesia, and the term '5 minutes' refers to a measurement taken 5 minutes after baseline. Can we conclude that, on the basis of these data, among subjects undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the average LVEDV levels change? Let a =.01.

An experiment was conducted to compare the strengths of two types of elastic bandages: one a standard bandage of a specified weight and the other the same standard but treated with a chemical substance. Ten pieces of each were randomly selected from production. Does the treated bandage tend to be stronger than the standard?

- Starfish coildots is a disease affecting approximately 40 different species of sea stars and several other echinoderms. A sample of 240 ochre starfish and 155 sunflower starfish found that 97 ochre starfish and 54 sunflower starfish showed signs of infection. Is there evidence to suggest that the difference in the proportion of infected ochre starfish is greater than the proportion of infected sunflower starfish? (a) Define the parameter(s) of interest using the correct notation. Then, state the null and alternative hypotheses for this study. (b) Calculate the observed test statistic and state the distribution it follows (including degrees of freedom, if needed). (c) Give the p-value, or a range of appropriate values for the p-value.

- Maintaining your balance may get harder as you grow older. A study was conducted to see how steady the elderly is on their feet. They had the subjects stand on a force platform and have them react to a noise. The force platform then measured how much they swayed forward and backward, and the data is in table #7.3.10 ("Maintaining balance while," 2013). Do the data show that the elderly sway more than the mean forward sway of younger people, which is 18.125 mm? Test at the 5% level.

It is well known that the likelihood of getting tennis elbow depends on various properties of the racket used.
