2. Growth hormones are often used to increase the weight gain of chickens. In an experiment using 15 chickens, five different doses of growth hormone (0,.2,.4,.8, and 1.0 mg/kg) were injected into chickens (three for each dose) and the subsequent weight gain was recorded. An experimenter plots the data and finds that a linear relationship appears to hold. A computer output follows: SOURCE DF SUM OF SQUARES MEAN SQUARE F VALUE p-value MODEL 1 78.4083 78.4083 8.11.0137 ERROR 13 125.7410 9.6723 TOTAL 14 204.1493 COEFFICENT StDevTp CONSTANT 3.7816 1.1705 3.23 0.0066 DOSE 4.0416 1.4195 2.85 0.0137 1) The least-squares regression line is: A) = 4.04 + 3.78x B) = 3.23 + 2.85x C) = 2.85 + 3.23x E) = 1.17 + 1.42x D) = 3.78 + 4.04x

An appropriate null and alternate hypothesis to test the slope, the test statistic, and the p-value are: A) H 0 :  = 0 H a :  < 0; T = 2.85; p-value =.0069 B) H 0 :   0 H a :  < 0; T = 3.23; p-value =.0066 C) H 0 :  = 0 H a :  > 0; T = 2.85; p-value =.0137 D) H 0 :  = 0 H a :  > 0; T = 3.23; p-value =.0033 E) H 0 :  = 0 H a :  > 0; T = 2.85; p-value =.0069

5. 4) A large sample hypothesis test with σ known of a null hypothesis μ = 15 against the alternative hypothesis μ ≠ 15 results in the test statistic value of z = 1.37. Assuming σ is known, the corresponding p-value is approximately A)0.0853 C) 0.4147D) 0.8293 E) 0.9147 B) 0.1707
