Recall in the one sample hypothesis testing scenario that we investigated the following presumptions based on previous research, no evidence currently exists supporting or refuting
Recall in the one sample hypothesis testing scenario that we investigated the following presumptions based on previous research, "no evidence currently exists supporting or refuting the use of electric fans during heat waves" in terms of mortality and illness, as well as Public Health guidelines suggesting not using fans during hot weather, with some research reporting the potential of fans accelerating body heating.
You decide to further your research project by hypothesizing that the true average core body temperature amidst higher ambient temperature and humidity levels for the population who do not use electric fans is different than those who do use electric fans, setting the level of significance at 5% for the formal hypothesis test. In other words, you extend your sampling to two samples instead of just one. You randomly sample 32 and 36 participants for your first and second groups, respectively, based on your research funding and for 45 minutes, all study participants sit in a chamber maintained at a temperature of 108 degrees Fahrenheit (i.e., 42 degrees Celsius) and a relative humidity of 70%. After the first 45-minute warming period, for Group 2 only you place a personal sized electric fan 3 feet away with its airflow directed at a given participant's chest area, and the participants relax in this position for the next 45 minutes, whereas for Group 1 you do not provide electric fans. At the end of this 45-minute fan period, you record the core body temperatures of all participants. The following table comprises the data you collect.

Per Step 4 of the 5-Steps to Hypothesis Testing, compute the test statistic using the appropriate test statistic formula. Assign groups 1 and 2 to be no fans and fans, respectively.
Please note the following: 1) in practice, you as the analyst decide how to assign groups 1 and 2 and subsequently interpret the results appropriately in the context of the data, though for the purposes of this exercise the groups are assigned for you; 2) you may copy and paste the data into Excel to facilitate analysis; and 3) do not round your numerical answer that you submit as the online grading system is designed to mark an answer correct if your response is within a given range. In other words, the system does not take into account rounding. On the other hand, rounding is preferable when formally reporting your statistical results to colleagues.

After the first 45-minute warming period, for Group 2 only you place a personal sized electric fan 3 feet away with its airflow directed at a given participant's chest area, and the participants relax in this position for the next 45 minutes, whereas for Group 1 you do not provide electric fans.

Question 7
Recall in the one sample hypothesis testing scenario that we investigated the following presumptions based on previous research, "no evidence currently exists supporting or refuting the use of electric fans during heat waves" in terms of mortality and illness, as well as Public Health guidelines suggesting not using fans during hot weather, with some research reporting the potential of fans accelerating body heating.
You decide to further your research project by hypothesizing that the true average core body temperature amidst higher ambient temperature and humidity levels for the population who do not use electric fans is greater than those who do use electric fans, setting the level of significance at 5% for the formal hypothesis test. In other words, you extend your sampling to two samples instead of just one. You randomly sample 27 and 18 participants for your first and second groups, respectively, based on your research funding and for 45 minutes, all study participants sit in a chamber maintained at a temperature of 108 degrees Fahrenheit (i.e., 42 degrees Celsius) and a relative humidity of 70%. After the first 45-minute warming period, for Group 2 only you place a personal sized electric fan 3 feet away with its airflow directed at a given participant's chest area, and the participants relax in this position for the next 45 minutes, whereas for Group 1 you do not provide electric fans. At the end of this 45-minute fan period, you record the core body temperatures of all participants. The following table comprises the data you collect.

Per Step 5 of the 5-Steps to Hypothesis Testing, choose the appropriate formal and informal conclusions.
Please note the following: 1) you may copy and paste the data into Excel to facilitate analysis; and 2) in the prior question you already calculated a test statistic but on a different dataset - calculate the test statistic again using the dataset directly above in selecting the corresponding formal and informal conclusions.
Select one:
a.
We do not reject H0 because z > +2.326, where z = 1.079. We have statistically significant evidence at = 1% to show that the true proportion of core body temperature increases amidst higher ambient temperature and humidity levels for the population who do not use electric fans is less than those who do use electric fans.
b.
We accept H0 because z = -2.326, where z = 1.079. We have statistically significant evidence at = 5% to show that the true proportion of core body temperature increases amidst higher ambient temperature and humidity levels for the population who do not use electric fans is less than those who do use electric fans.
c.
We do not accept H0 because z < -1.645, where z = 1.079. We do not have statistically significant evidence at = 2.5% to show that the true proportion of core body temperature increases amidst higher ambient temperature and humidity levels for the population who do not use electric fans is less than those who do use electric fans.
d.
We do not reject H0 because z > -1.645, where z = 1.079. We do not have statistically significant evidence at = 5% to show that the true proportion of core body temperature increases amidst higher ambient temperature and humidity levels for the population who do not use electric fans is less than those who do use electric fans.
