Question 2

A study was conducted to determine if differences in new textbook prices exist between on-campus bookstores, off-campus bookstores, and Internet bookstores.
 
  To control for differences in textbook prices that might exist across disciplines, the study randomly selected 12 textbooks and recorded the price of each of the 12 books at each of the three retailers. You may assume normality and equal-variance assumptions have been met. The partially completed ANOVA table based on the study's findings is shown here:ANOVA Source of Variation SS df MS FTextbooks 16,624 Retailer 2.4 Error Total 17,477.6 Based on the study's findings, can it be concluded that there is a difference in the average price of textbooks across the three retail outlets? Conduct the appropriate hypothesis test at the alpha = 0.10 level of significance.A) F = 0.0411 < F=0.10 = 2.56, reject the null hypothesis. Thus, based on these sample data we can conclude that there is a difference in textbook prices at the three different types of retail outlets.
  B) F = 0.0411 < F=0.10 = 2.56, do not reject the null hypothesis. Thus, based on these sample data we cannot conclude that there is a difference in textbook prices at the three different types of retail outlets.
  C) F = 0.031 < F=0.10 = 2.56, reject the null hypothesis. Thus, based on these sample data we can conclude that there is a difference in textbook prices at the three different types of retail outlets.
  D) F = 0.031 < F=0.10 = 2.56, do not reject the null hypothesis. Thus, based on these sample data we cannot conclude that there is a difference in textbook prices at the three different types of retail outlets.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.

Drug abusers experience the following scenario: The pleasure given by their drug (or drugs) of choice is so strong that it is difficult to eradicate even after years of staying away from the substances involved.

It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.
