6. A researcher examines the short-term effects of a single treatment with acupuncture on cigarette smoking. Participants smoke approximately a pack of cigarettes a day are assigned to one of two groups. One group receives the treatment with acupuncture needles. The second group of participants serves as the control group and is given relaxation instructions while on the examining table but no acupuncture treatment. The number of cigarettes smoked the next day is recorded for all participants. ``{r} t.test(control, acupuncture, alternative = "two.sided", conf.level = 0.95, var.equal = TRUE, paired = FALSE) Two Sample t-test data: control and acupuncture t = 2.7627, df = 14, p-value = 0.01526 alternative hypothesis: true difference in means is not equal to 0 95 percent confidence interval: 2.096735 16.653265 sample estimates: mean of x mean of y 20.500 11.125 *** {r} sd control) sd(acupuncture) [1] 5.8554 [1] 7.605214 Answer the following items (a) - (k) based on the study description and the R output given above: (a) What is the independent variable?

Describe an advantage of addinga control group.
2. When she was 9 years old, Emily Rosa did a science fair experiment in which she tested professional touch therapists to see if they could sense her energy field. She flipped a coin to select either her right hand or her left hand, then she asked the therapists to identify the selected hand by placing their hand just under Emily's hand without seeing it and touching it. Among the 280 trials, therapists were correct 123 times. Do the data provide sufficient evidence to indicate that touch therapists are effective? Test at the 1% level with both the critical value and p-value methods.
A researcher would like to examine how the chemical tryptophan, contained in foods such as turkey, can affect mental alertness. A sample of n = 9 college students is obtained and each student’s performance on a familiar video game is measured before and after eating a traditional Thanksgiving dinner including roast turkey. The average score dropped by M = 14 points after the meal with SS = 1152 for the difference scores. A. Is there is significant difference in performance before eating versus after eating? Use a two-tailed test with α = .05. SMD = ___________________________ tcritical = ________________________ tcalculated = ________________________ Decision = _______________________ B. Compute r2 to measure the size of the effect. r2 = _____________________________ C. Write a sentence demonstrating how the outcome of the test and the measure of effect size would…
In a certain jurisdiction, all students in Grade Three are required to take a standardized test to evaluate their math comprehension skills.The file contains these data resulting from a random sample of n=30 schools within this jurisdiction. From these data you wish to estimate the model Yi=β0+β1Xi+ei where Xi is the percentage of Grade Three students in School i who live below the poverty line and Yi is the average mathematics comprehension score for all Grade Three students in the same school, School i. The observed data for the X variable is labled perbelowpoverty and the observed data for the Y variable is labeled mathscore in the file.Import (either hand type or load the file) data into R Studio, then answer the following questions based on the data.(a) Create a scatterplot of the data. What can you say about the nature of the relationship between the percentage of Grade Three students living below the poverty line in a certain school and the school's average Grade Three…
A weight-loss program wants to test how well their program is working. The company selects a simple random sample of 51 individual that have been using their program for 15 months. For each individual person, the company records the individual's weight when they started the program 15 months ago as an x-value. The subject's current weight is recorded as a y-value. Therefore, a data point such as (205, 190) would be for a specific person and it would indicate that the individual started the program weighing 205 pounds and currently weighs 190 pounds. In other words, they lost 15 pounds. When the company performed a regression analysis, they found a correlation coefficient of r = 0.707. This clearly shows there is strong correlation, which got the company excited. However, when they showed their data to a statistics professor, the professor pointed out that correlation was not the right tool to show that their program was effective. Correlation will NOT show whether or not there is…

A research team is interested in investigating the effectiveness of a new medication intended to reduce resting heart rate (beats per minute, BPM) in overweight patients. In order to test the medication, the researcher organizes a clinical trial with participants randomly assigned to receive either the new medication or a placebo. Suppose the following table represents the heart rates for a SRS from both groups. Data for the placebo group are {71, 71, 68, 67, 68, 69, 70, 70, 69, 72, 73} Data for the treatment group are {67, 66, 64, 64, 65, 64, 59, 63, 71, 64} Sample standard deviation for the placebo group is: 1.834 Sample standard deviation for the treatment group is: 3.057 What is the confidence interval?

A pharmaceutical company has developed a drug that is expected to reduce hunger. To test the drug, three samples of rats are selected with n=10n=10 in each sample. The first sample receives the drug every day. The second sample is given the drug once a week, and the third sample receives no drug at all (the control group). The dependent variables is the amount of food eaten by each rat over a 1-month period. These data are analyzed by an ANOVA, and the results are reported in the following summary table. Fill in all missing values in the table. (Hint: Start with the df column.) S.S. d.f. M.S. F Between 6.68 Within 4.35 TOTAL Use the =FDIST() function in Excel to locate the p-value for this ANOVA:p-value = Report p-value accurate to at least 6 decimal places.If you use a significance level of α=.05α=.05, what would you conclude about these treatments?
A police academy has just brought in a batch of new recruits. All recruits are given an aptitude test and a fitness test. Suppose a researcher wants to know if there is a significant difference in aptitude scores based on a recruits’ fitness level. Recruits are ranked on a scale of 1 – 3 for fitness (1 = lowest fitness category, 3 = highest fitness category). Using “ApScore” as your dependent variable and “FitGroup” as your independent variable, conduct a One-Way, Between Subjects, ANOVA, at α = 0.05, to see if there is a significant difference on the aptitude test between fitness groups. Identify the correct symbolic notation for the alternative hypothesis. A. H0: µ1 = µ2 B. HA: µ1 ≠ µ2 ≠ µ3 C. H0: µ1 = µ2 = µ3 D. HA: µ1 ≠ µ2
