A veterinarian knows that the supplement glucosamine is beneficial for dogs' joints. He wants to determine if a supplement with both glucosamine and chondroitin would be more beneficial than glucosamine alone for Does this procedure describe a completely randomized design for this experiment? O Yes, the treatments were randomly assigned to the dogs' joint health. The veterinarian asks the owners of dogs with known joint issues if they would be willing to have their dog participate in his study, and 32 owners agree to the study. The dogs' names are written on equal-sized slips of paper and placed in a hat. The veterinarian selects 16 slips of paper. These dogs are given the glucosamine treatment. The other 16 dogs are given the gluCosamine with chondroitin treatment. After six months, the dogs' joint health is measured for each treatment and compared. dogs. O Yes, the treatment groups have the same number of dogs. No, the veterinarian did not use dogs of the same breed. No, the hat was not shaken, so there was no randomization.

A recent drug survey showed an increase in the use of drugs and alcohol among local high school seniors as compared to the national percent. Suppose that a survey of 100 local seniors and 100 national seniors is conducted to see if the proportion of drug and alcohol use is higher locally than nationally. Locally, 67 seniors reported using drugs or alcohol within the past month, while 60 national seniors reported using them. Conduct a hypothesis test at the 5% level. NOTE: If you are using a Student's t-distribution for the problem, including for paired data, you may assume that the underlying population is normally distributed. (In general, you must first prove that assumption, though.)
A researcher gathered a sample of participants who volunteered for a studying of phobias. She measured anxiety level of participants as they viewed photos of spiders and again when they viewed puppies. Which statistical test is appropriate for this study and why?
Researchers investigate how the presence of cell phones influence the quality of human interaction. Subjects are randomly selected from a population and divided into an experimental group that is asked to leave their phones in the front of the room and a control group that are not asked to leave their cell phones at the front of the room. Subjects are left alone for 10 minutes and then asked to take a survey designed to measure quality of interactions they had with others in the experiment. What statistical test is appropriate?
If the power of an experiment is low then The experiment will likely be inconclusive. Any significant findings obtained are suspect. The results are skewed.
A random sample of n1 = 157 people ages 16 to 19 were taken from the island of Oahu, Hawaii, and 12 were found to be high school dropouts. Another random sample of n2 = 129 people ages 16 to 19 were taken from Sweetwater County, Wyoming, and 6 were found to be high school dropouts. Do these data indicate that the population proportion of high school dropouts on Oahu is different (either way) from that of Sweetwater County? Use a 1% level of significance. (a) What is the level of significance? What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Test the difference p1 − p2. Do not use rounded values. Round your final answer to two decimal places.) (c) Find (or estimate) the P-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
Dr. Mackintosh believes a new olfactory therapy would be more successful in promoting weight loss among obese patients. His patients are first weighed and then randomly assigned to olfactory therapy, dance therapy, or a control condition. At the end of the three weeks, the amount of weight lost is recorded. The results indicate no significant difference in the amount of weight lost between the three conditions. If true differences existed between the conditions, but they were not detected, what kind of error occurred?
Acne is a common skin disease that affects most adolescents and can continue into adulthood. A study compared the effectiveness of three acne treatments and a placebo, all in gel form, applied twice daily for 12 weeks. The study's 517 teenage volunteers were randomly assigned to one of the four treatments. Success was assessed as clear or almost clear skin at the end of the 12 week period. The results of the study can be seen in the table below. Using the appropriate statistical test, determine if there is significant evidence that the four treatments perform differently. If so, how do they compare.
A manufacturer of laptop computers claims that only 1% of their computers are defective. In a sample of 600 computers, it was found that 3% were defective. If the proportion of defectives were really only 1%, there would be than 1 chance in 1000 of getting such a large proportion of defective laptops in the sample. Is there statistically significant evidence against the manufacturer's claim? Why or Why not?
ester Hollar is vice president for human resources for a large manufacturing company. In recent years, he has noticed an increase in absenteeism that he thinks is related to the general health of the employees. Four years ago, in an attempt to improve the situation, he began a fitness program in which employees exercise during their lunch hour. To evaluate the program, he selected a random sample of eight participants and found the number of days each was absent in the six months before the exercise program began and in the six months following the exercise program. Below are the results. Employee Before After 1 6 5 2 6 2 3 7 1 4 7 3 5 4 3 6 3 6 7 5 3 8 6 7 At the 0.05 significance level, can he conclude that the number of absences has declined? Estimate the p-value. State the decision rule for 0.05 significance level. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) Compute the test statistic. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
Here is the scenario for your Between Subjects Independent One Way ANOVA: Dr. Xena is interested in determine which type of therapy best helps persons with bipolar depression. She gathers a random and representative sample of men and women ages 18-95 years of age who have a diagnosis of Bipolar Depression who are taking Lithium for at least 6 months. She randomly assigns participants to conditions and measures well being scores after 4 months of therapy. Well being scores range from 0-100, with 100 being high well-being (feel good and experiencing no mood swings).

The Salk vaccine against polio was tested in 1954 in a carefully designed field experiment. Approximately, 400,000 children took part in this experiment. Using a randomization procedure, the children were randomly divided into 2 groups of equal size, a treatment group, and a control group. The vaccine was given only to the children in the treatment group; the control group children received placebo injections. The children did not know which of the two groups they had been placed into. The diagnosticians also lacked this information. 57 children in the treatment group went on to contract polio, while 142 children in the control group contracted the illness. How likely would such a difference in outcomes be when the assignment to the treatment or control group had absolutely no effect on the outcomes?
A large company that produces a "tat-burner pill claims an average Ioss of 20 pounds in the first month. A consumer advocacy group believes that this claim is actually just "hype" intended to sell more of the compound. The advocacy group Would like to obtain statistical evidence about this issue and takes a random sample of 100 consumers who responded that they had purchased the pill but didn't know what the survey was about. They find that these 100 people lost an average of 18 pounds. Let the standard deviation of the population be 7.5 pounds. Clearly state the hypotheses, obtain the test statistic and p-value, and state the decision and conclusion. Show all your work.
