5. A pet food company randomly chooses two groups of 20 puppies for a study. One group eats a new brand of dog food and the other group eats an off-brand dog food for a period of 4 weeks. Researchers record muscular and skeletal growth rates in both groups. What type of study is being described?

An antidepressant has historically been known to relieve depression for 80% of patients who use the drug. The drug's formula was changed recently to include a smaller dose of its main, active ingredient. Due to this change, a medical researcher suspects that among all people with depression who use the new version of the drug, the proportion, p, of people who find relief is lower than 80%. A random sample of 215 patients who use the new version is selected by the researcher, and 159 of them find relief from depression. Based on these data, can we support the researcher's claim at the 0.05 level of significance? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places and round your answers as specified in the table. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) State the null hypothesis H and the alternative hypothesis H₁. H:0 H₁ :0 (b) Determine the type of test statistic to use. (Choose one) ▼ (c) Find the value…
In a 2009 study, a team of researchers recruited 38 men and divided them randomly into two groups - treatment or control. The also recruited 38 women and they randomly placed half the participants into the treatment group and the other half into the control group. One group was given 25 grams of chia seeds twice a day, and the other was given a placebo. The subjects volunteered to be a part of the study. After 12 weeks, the scientists found no significant difference between the groups in appetite or weight loss. Which of the following is true. (i) This is an observational study (ii) Blinding is used in this study because subjects in the control group recieved a placebo, so that htey were blinded to the treatment they recieved. (iii) We can safely generalize the conclusion (that chia seeds have no significant effect on appetite or weight loss) from the participants to the population at large because randomization is used when assigning participatns to groups.
In PIMS hospital Islamabad there were patients who are in the early and middle stages of Alzheimer’s disease. Analyst have sought to examine the effect of various type of music on agitation levels in those patients. Patients were selected to participate in the study based on their stage of Alzheimer’s disease. Three forms of music were tested. Easy listening, Mozart and Piano interludes. While listening to music, agitation levels were recorded for the patients based on the heart rate in beats per minute. Test at 5% level of significance whether type’s music or early/middle stages of Alzheimer’s disease have significant effect on the agitation levels. Scores are recorded below: (6) Groups Piano interludes Mozart Easy listening Early stages of Alzheimer’s disease 103.5 104.7 100.2 105.9 Mean: 103.6 69.9 78.5 88.2 73.4 Mean: 77.5 95.6 99.3 101.4 120.1 Mean: 104.1 Middle stages of…

An agricultural field trial compares the yield of two varieties of corn. The researchers divide in half each of 20 fields of land in different locations and plant each corn variety in one half of each plot. After harvest, the yields are compared in bushels per acre at each location. The 20 differences (Variety A - Variety B) givex¯=3.2x¯=3.2 and s=4.63s=4.63. Does this sample provide evidence that Variety A had a higher yield than Variety B? (a) State the null and alternative hypotheses: (Type "mu" for the symbol μμ , e.g. mu >> 1 for the mean is greater than 1, mu << 1 for the mean is less than 1, mu not = 1 for the mean is not equal to 1) H0H0 : HaHa : (b) Find the test statistic, t = (c) Answer the question: Does this sample provide evidence that Variety A had a higher yield than Variety B? (Use a 5% level of significance) (Type: Yes or No)
Fish of Lake Laengelmaevesi. An article by J. Puranen of the Department of Statistics, University of Helsinki, discussed a classic study on several variables of seven different species of fish caught in Lake Laengelmaevesi, Finland. On theWeissStats site, we present the data on weight (in grams) and length (in centimeters) from the nose to the beginning of the tail for four of the seven species. Perform the required parts for both the weight and length data. a. Obtain individual normal probability plots and the standard deviations of the samples. b. Perform a residual analysis. c. Use your results from parts (a) and (b) to decide whether conducting a one-way ANOVA test on the data is reasonable. If so, also do parts (d) and (e). d. Use a one-way ANOVA test to decide, at the 5% significance level, whether the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that a difference exists among the means of the populations from which the samples were taken. e. Interpret your results from part (d)
Early life corresponds to the first bacterial colonization of the digestive tract, creating a microbiome thought to play an important role in human development. What might be the effect of early exposure to antibiotics on children's development? One study followed 11,532 full-term babies all born in the county of Avon, United Kingdom, during 1991 and 1992. Exposures to antibiotics during infancy were recorded, along with measures of body mass at regular intervals over several years. The researchers found that antibiotic exposure during the first six months of life was associated with increased body mass later in childhood.
The mango is considered the "king of fruits" in many parts of the world. Mangoes are generally harvested at the mature green stage and ripen up during the marketing process of transport, storage, and so on. During this process, about 30% of the fruit is wasted. Because of this, the impact of harvest stage and storage conditions on the postharvest quality are of interest. In this experiment, the fruit was harvested at 80, 95, or 110 days after the fruit setting (the transition from flower to fruit) and then stored at temperatures of 20∘C, 30∘C, or 40∘C. For each harvest time and storage temperature, a random sample of mangoes was selected, and the time to ripening was measured. What are the factors, the treatments, and the response variables? Take each item from the answer bank and place into the appropriate category.

A doctor is studying the relationship between blood pressure and heartbeat abnormalities in her patients. She tests a random sample of her patients and notes their blood pressures (high, low, or normal) and their heartbeats (regular or irregular). She finds that: 14% have high blood pressure. • 22% have low blood pressure. 15% have an irregular heartbeat. • Of those with an irregular heartbeat, one-third have high blood pressure. • Of those with normal blood pressure, one-eighth have an irregular heartbeat. What portion of the patients selected have a regular heartbeat and low blood pressure? (0.2)
