Use one of the free statistics programs that we have been using and reproduce the results for Exercises 12.11 and 12.12. This is an example where it is probably easier to enter the data by hand. (http://vassarstats.net/ is a good program to use. Select “t5Tests & Procedures”, and then read their instructions carefully. Don’t press a return after entering the hypothetical population mean.)

Exercise 12.11

The data referred to in Exercise 12.10 (in pounds gained) follow. Run the appropriate t test and draw the appropriate conclusions.

Exercise 12.10

In Exercise 5.21 we saw, among other things, the weight gain of each of 29 anorexic girls who received cognitive behavioral therapy. What null hypothesis would likely be testing in this situation?

 Exercise 5.21

Everitt, as reported in Hand et al. (1994), presented data on the amount of weight gained by 72 anorexic girls under one of three treatment conditions. The conditions were Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Family Therapy, and a Control group who received no treatment. The data follow, and are available on the Web as Ex5.21.dat:

Exercise 12.12

Compute 95% confidence limits on μ for the data in Exercise 12.11.
