A researcher wants to know if hypertension is dependent on adherence to a specific diet. A sample of 287 individuals was observed and their diet was recorded, either (1) Standard Diet, (2) High Protein Diet, (3) High Fat Diet, or (4) Low Fat Diet. Each individual was also classified as either having hypertension or not having hypertension. The counts of each category are shown below. Standard Diet High Protein Diet High Fat Diet Low Fat Diet Hypertension 30 48 32 16 No Hypertension 44 56 15 46 A hypothesis was constructed to test the independence of hypertension on type of diet. What distribution would be used to find the critical value? Distribution: [distribution] Degrees of Freedom: [df]

In an experiment measuring the rate of absorption (in g/min-cm2) two samples were obtained. For a sample of 5 clay bricks with fine glass particles added, the sample mean was 1299.3 with a sample standard deviation of 329.5. For a sample of 5 clay bricks without added glass particles, the sample mean was 4500.3 with a sample standard deviation of 271.4. The population variances of each group are assumed to be equal. To construct a confidence interval (under normal regularity conditions) of the difference of the two means, a critical value from which distribution would be used in the calculation?

A researcher wants to measure the effectiveness of a 3-month high protein meal plan on the performance of 14 runners. The runners run two different lengths of 3 miles: one prior to starting the 3-month high protein meal plan and one after eating the high protein meal plan for 3 months. The difference in run times between the run prior to the diet and the run after the diet was recorded for all 14 runners. The data obtained should be analyzed using which method?
