A group of 600 patients who suffer from seasonal allergies is asked to participate in a study to determine the effectiveness of a new medication. The patients are divided randomlyinto two groups, one was given the actual medication and one received a placebo pill. After 2 months of treatment, 64% of the patients who took the medication had fewer allergysymptoms, while only 36% of those who took the placebo had fewer allergy symptoms.a. What is the treatment variable?b. What is the response (or outcome) variable?c. Was this an observational study or a controlled experiment? Explain how you know.d. Assuming the rest of the study was well-designed, use your answers to discuss whether it would be reasonable to conclude that taking the new medication caused fewerallergy symptoms.

Suppose you were presented with the results of a study comparing two different training methods for basketball athletes. You are told 32 athletes were randomly assigned to the two groups so that 16 were in the group A and 16 were in the group B. At the end of the session, the average scores (wins versus losses) of the two groups/teams were compared and a difference of 10% was observed ( the first team had 10% more wins than the second). The coach observer reports two- sample t-test shows this difference is statistically significant. How would you interpret these findings? What questions or concerns would you have? How might this type of study be improved? Hint: Consider the possibility that the test performed was not the appropriate one.

A behavioral scientist investigated whether there is a significant difference in the percentages of men and women who purchase silver-colored cars. The scientist selected a random sample of 50 men and a random sample of 52 women who had recently purchased a new car. Of the men selected, 16 had purchased a silver-colored car. Of the women selected, 9 had purchased a silver-colored car. Which of the following is the most appropriate method for analyzing the results? A two-sample zz-test for the difference in population proportions A A two-sample zz-test for the difference in sample proportions B A one-sample zz-test for a sample proportion C A one-sample zz-test for a population proportion D A one-sample zz-test for a difference in sample proportions
