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?

Twenty middle-aged men with glucose readings between 90 milligrams per deciliter and 120 milligrams per deciliter of blood were selected randomly from the population of similar male patients at a large local hospital. Ten of the 20 men were assigned randomly to group A and received a placebo. The other 10 men were assigned to group B and received a new glucose drug. After two months, posttreatment glucose readings were taken for all 20 men and were compared with pretreatment readings. The reduction in glucose level (Pretreatment reading − Posttreatment reading) for each man in the study is shown here. Group A (placebo) reduction (in milligrams per deciliter): 12, 8, 17, 7, 20, 2, 5, 9, 12, 6 Group B (glucose drug) reduction (in milligrams per deciliter): 29, 31, 13, 19, 21, 5, 24, 12, 8, 21 Part A: Do the data provide convincing evidence, at the α = 0.02 level, that the glucose drug is effective in producing a reduction in mean glucose level? Part B: Create and interpret a 98%…
Dr. Ahmed wants to study the relationship between blood pressure and heartbeat irregularities in his patients from the past weeks. He tests a random sample of his patients and notes their blood pressures (high, low, or normal) and their heartbeats (regular or irregular). He finds that: ) 61% have high blood pressure. (i) 14% have low blood pressure. (ii) 24% have an irregular heartbeat. (iv) Of those with an irregular heartbeat, one-third have high blood pressure. (v) Of those with normal blood pressure. one-fifth have an irregular heartbeat. a. What is the percentage of the patients selected have a regular heartbeat and low blood pressure? b. What is the percentage of the patients selected have an irregular heartbeat and normal blood pressure?
An experiment to test the effectiveness of regular treatments with fluoride varnish to reduce tooth decay involved 36 volunteers who had half of their teeth (the right side or left side, determined by a coin flip) painted with a fluoride varnish every six month for 5 years. At the end of the treatments, the number of new cavities during the treatment period was compared on treatment (fluoride varnish) side versus the control (no fluoride varnish) side. The appropriate statistical test for analyzing the results of this experiment is O Paired t test for a mean difference O One sample z test for a population mean O Two sample t test for a difference in means O One sample z test for a population proportion O Two sample z test for a difference in proportions
A research study was conducted about gender differences in 'sexting'. The researcher believed that the proportion of girls involved in 'sexting' is different from the proportion of boys involved. The data collected in the spring of among a random sample of middle and high school students in a large school district in is summarized next: out of 380 females 43 sent 'sexts' and out of 410 males 64 sent 'sexts'. Is the proportion of girls sending sexts different from the proportion of boys 'sexting'? Choose the appropriate procedure. Procedure: Assumptions: (select everything that applies) Population standard deviations are known Normal populations Sample sizes are both greater than 30 Population standard deviation are unknown but assumed equal Paired samples Population standard deviation are unknown Simple random samples The number of positive and negative responses are both greater than 10 for both samples Independent samples
researcher suspects that the actual prevalence of generalized anxiety among children and adolescents is higher than the previously reported prevalence of generalized anxiety disorder among children and adolescents. The previously reported prevalence of generalized anxiety disorder among children and adolescents is 3.9%, and the researcher conducts a study to test the accuracy of the previously reported prevalence of generalized anxiety disorder by recruiting 98 children and adolescents from various pediatricians' offices and tests them for generalized anxiety disorder using the DSM-5. The researcher determines that the prevalence of generalized anxiety disorder among the participants of the study is 6.1%. What should the researcher's conclusion be for a 5% significance level? A. We reject H0 at the 5% level because -57.53 is less than -1.96. We do have statistically significant evidence to show the actual prevalence of generalized anxiety disorder among children and adolescents…
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 = 11 in each sample. The first sample receives the drug every day. The second sample is given the drug ance 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 aver a 1-month period. These data are analyzed by an ANOVA, and the results are reported in the following summary Lable. Fill in all missing values in the Lable. (Hint: Start with the df column.) s.S. d.f. M.S.

An experiment to evaluate the effectiveness of the type of snack and children's perception of satiation was designed so that subjects aged 10 to 13 years were randomly assigned a snack that was of the exact same ingredients but described differently. The first group had their snack described as healthy and full of vitamins, the second group had their snack described as tasty, the third group were given a snack without any description whatsoever. Thirty minutes after finishing the snack, subjects were asked to rate their hunger on a scale of 1 to 10. The results are summarized in the table: ANOVA: Single Factor SUMMARY Groups Healthy Tasty No Description ANOVA Source of Variation Between Groups Within Groups Total Count 12 13. 14 SS 17.46154 62.89744 80.35897 Sum 62 46 56 Average 5.1667 3.5385 4.0000 Variance 1.9697 1.9359 1.3846 df MS F P-value 2 8.730769 4.997146 0.012156 36 1.747151 38 Based on these results, at a 5% level of significance what conclusion can the researchers draw from…
More than 10% of people carry the parasite Toxoplasma gondii. The life-long presence of Toxoplasma cysts in neural and muscular tissues leads to prolongation of reaction times in infected subjects. The following table gives data from Prague on 15- to 29-year-old drivers who had been and had not been involved in accidents. The table also gives the number of drivers who were infected with Toxoplasma gondii and who were uninfected.
