19. A number of studies have explored the relationship between neuroticism and alcoholism using an animal model. Here is a typical study. From each of seven litters, two cats were randomly selected. One cat from each pair was assigned to an experimental group, which was subjected to a procedure that induced temporary neurosis; the other cat in each pair was placed in a control group. Then, all cats were offered milk spiked with 5% alcohol. The amount consumed in three minutes was measured in milliliters and is shown in Table 10.9. Does neurosis increase the consumption of alcohol?

A company wishes to evaluate the effect of package design on one of its products, a certain brand of cereal. The four package designs are to be tested in different stores throughout a large city. There are 20 stores available for the study. The amount of cereal sold is known to vary depending on the size of the stores. The 20 stores are divided into five groups of four stores each by size. The following sales figures ($1000s) were obtained after a 1-month period. Stores Design A Design B Design C Design D 1 40 33 37 38 2 45 27 32 40 3 43 31 30 41 4 44 38 40 42 5 56 45 49 42 Enter the above data into a suitable software and then conduct an analysis of variance with blocking (analyze this data as a complete block design) to test further whether there is evidence of a significant difference in mean sales of different package designs. Use alpha=0.01. What are the sums of squares for Blocks? Provide your answer to the nearest 2 decimal places.
Determine whether the results appear to have statistical significance, and also determine whether the results appear to have practical significance. One of a botanist's hybridization experiments with peas yielded 732 offspring with 190 of those peas (or 26%) having yellow pods. According to genetic theory, 25% of the offspring peas should have yellow pods. Does the result have statistical significance? According to genetic theory, of the 732 peas would have yellow pods. The difference between the actual number of peas with yellow pods and the expected number of peas with yellow pods is pea(s). This difference to be statistically significant (Type whole n ers.)
A clinical psychologist wants to test the effectiveness of three new therapies that have been developed for reducing anxiety symptoms. The researcher recruits 15 participants and randomly assigns them to take part in Therapy A, Therapy B, or Therapy C for a month. At the end of the month, the researcher measures the participants' anxiety symptoms on a scale from 1 to 10 (where a higher score means more anxiety symptoms). The participants' scores are shown below: What is the appropriate test to use ? 3. What are the null and alternative hypotheses ? 4. Using a two-tailed alpha of .05, determine what the critical value is 5. Calculate the test statistic 6. State whether you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis for the omnibus test 7. Calculate and report the effect size for the omnibus test 8. Perform a Post-Hoc Test. Report the significance of each pairwise comparison
Determine whether the results appear to have statistical significance, and also determine whether the results appear to have practical significance. One of a botanist's hybridization experiments with peas yielded 500 offspring with 130 of those peas (or 26%) have yellow pods. According to genetic theory, 25% of the offspring peas should have yellow pods. Does the result have statistical significance? According to genetic theory, ( ) of the 500 peas would have yellow pods. The difference between the actual number of peas with yellow pods and the expected number of peas with yellow pods is ( ) pea(s). This difference (does or does not appear?) to be statistically significant. (Type whole numbers.) Part 2 Does the result have practical significance?

A substance abuse counselor wants to demonstrate the effect of situational stress on alcohol cravings. He recruits two groups of men who are similar in respect to history of alcohol use and demographic variables. He divides them in to two groups. In one group(n=11), the men are exposed to a stressful situation and then asked to complete a measure rating their alcohol cravings on a scale from 0-10, where 0 representsno cravings and 10 represents intense cravings. In the second group (n=10), the men are exposed to a neutral situation and asked to complete the same measure. What test and graph should I create to find out if a stressful situation result in more intense alcohol cravings than a non-stressful situation?
A pet food company has a business objective of expanding its product line beyond its current kidney and shrimp cat foods. The company conducted an experiment to compare its two existing products with three other products (chicken liver, salmon, and beef) sold in a supermarket chain. For the experiment, a sample of 50 cats from the population at a local animal shelter was selected. Ten cats were randomly assigned to each of the five products being tested. Each of the cats was then presented with 3 ounces of the selected food in a dish at feeding time. The researchers defined the variable to be measured as the number of ounces of food that the cat consumed within a 10-minute time interval that began when the filled dish was presented. The results for this experiment are summarized in the following table. Kidney Shrimp Chicken Liver Salmon Beef 2.37 2.26 2.29 1.79 2.09 2.62 2.69 2.23 2.33 1.87 2.31 2.25 2.41 1.96 1.67 2.47 2.45 2.68…
Dr. Jarry applies for a research grant to examine whether electrolyte-enriched water affects athletic performance. They propose enrolling 50 college distance runners who will consume 28 ounces of water or 28 ounces of an electrolyte-enriched solution 30 minutes before running a timed 5000 meter race. Dr. Jarry states that runners will be randomly assigned to the control group (distilled water) or the treatment group (electrolyte- enriched water). Both the electrolyte solution and the distilled water will be provided to the runners in unlabeled opaque bottles. The electrolyte solution is identical in appearance and taste to distilled water. Unfortunately, the funding agency rejects the proposal due to inadequate blinding procedures. Which of the following might have been a reason for the funding agency to reject the proposal? It is not clear whether the researcher is blinded It is not clear whether the subjects are blinded It is not clear whether either the researcher or the subjects…
The Consumer Reports Restaurant Customer Satisfaction Survey is based upon 148,599 visits to full-service restaurant chains.t One of the variables in the study is meal price, the average amount paid per person for dinner and drinks, minus the tip. Suppose a reporter for the Sun Coast times thought that it would be of interest to her readers to conduct a similar study for restaurants located on the Grand Strand section in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The reporter selected a sample of 8 seafood restaurants, 8 Italian restaurants, and 8 steakhouses. The following data show the meal prices ($) obtained for the 24 restaurants sampled. Italian Seafood Steakhouse $12 $16 $24 13 18 19 15 17 23 17 26 25 18 23 21 20 15 22 17 19 27 24 18 31 Use a = 0.05 to test whether there is a significant difference among the mean meal price for the three types of restaurants.

A pharmaceutical company is testing the effectiveness of its vaccine across two different age brackets. They take a sample and split the participants up into two separate groups. Group A consists of 44 people who are between ages 13 and 18. Group B consists of 58 people between ages 19 and 26. After being administered the vaccine, it was found that 37 people from group A were immune to the virus and 42 people from group B were immune. (this is the same situation from the previous daily) Why do we use the 'pooled proportion' instead of the null hypothesis in the denominator of the test statistic? At a 10% significance level, is there reason to believe there is a difference in vaccine efficacy between Group A and Group B? explain each step
A hypothetical study looks at the effect of drinking alcohol on health. Across all genders and age groups, people who do not drink tend to be healthier on average than people who do drink. However, people who drink regularly are on average healthier than those people who have recently stopped drinking. Is it reasonable to conclude that for the sake of health, we should not start drinking, but if we have already started drinking alcohol, it is healthier to continue and not to stop?
2. A researcher conducts a study examining the effectiveness of a group exercise program at an assisted living facility for elderly adults.
