Among the principles of experimental design we have: Randomization, comparison and replication. "A population of subjects is put in alphabetical order, and a simple random sample of size 20 is taken to select the first 20 subjects on the list." From the proposed situation we can say that there is randomization. Select one: True or False

POULTRY PROBLEM Problem: A virologist is interested in studying the effects of 2 preselected different culture media and 2 preselected different times on the growth of a particular virus. She performs a balanced design with 6 plates for each of the treatment combinations. The 24 measurements were taken in a completely randomized order.

A report describes a survey of 500 licensed drivers. Each driver in the sample was asked if they would prefer to keep complete control of the car while driving, to use a partially self-driving car that allowed partial driver control, or to turn full control over to a driverless car. Suppose that it is reasonable to regard this sample as a random sample of licensed drivers in the United States, and that you want to use the data from this survey to decide if there is evidence that fewer than half of all licensed drivers in the United States prefer to keep complete control of the car while driving. (d) The actual sample proportion observed in the study was p̂ = 0.44. Based on this sample proportion, is there convincing evidence that fewer than 50% of licensed drivers prefer to keep complete control of the car when driving, or is the sample proportion consistent with what you would expect to see when the null hypothesis is true? Support your answer with a probability calculation. (Round…
Three fertilizers are studied for their effect on yield in an orange grove. Nine plots of land are used, divided into blocks of three plots each. A randomized complete block design is used, with each fertilizer applied once in each block. The results, in pounds of harvested fruit, are presented below.

Fertilizer Plot 1 Plot 2 Plot 3 A 327 456 273 B 401 546 320 C 304 440 235 Test Fertilizer Effect, can we conclude that the mean yields differ among the fertilizers? Answer Yes or No. .What is the value of the F statistic for this test? .What is the p-value of the test? .
In a study to compare two different methods of teaching reading, a class of 20 children was divided into two groups at random. Each group was taught reading using one method. After six months the two groups were given the same test. One pupil in the first group was ill and missed the test. The scores are given below.Method 1 80 85 79 81 89 73 50 71 76Method 2 79 62 75 68 62 73 76 81 73 61(a) Calculate the extreme values and the quartiles for each group.

Mr. Smith continues on his project of gaining insights on the 2020 BIOLOGY class and now that the first test has been written he can get initial findings. Something of interest that he would like to explore is the relationship between marks obtained and the time taken to complete the Test 1. In particular, he wants to answer: what influence does marks obtained have on the amount of time taken to finish the Test 1 . The table below shows a randomly selected sample of results for 12 students: Marks (%) Time (mins) 57 33 67 29 83 26 100 21 23 43 40 43 43 21 47 38 33 44 60 36 57 30 53 40 Use this data to answer the following questions: a.

A car dealer is interested in comparing the average gas mileages of four different car models. The dealer believes that the average gas mileage of a particular car will vary depending on the person who is driving the car due to different driving styles. Because of this, he decides to use a randomized block design. He randomly selects five drivers and asks them to drive each of the cars. He then determines the average gas mileage for each car and each driver. Can the dealer conclude that there is a significant difference in average gas mileages of the four car models? The results of the study are as follows. Average Gas Mileage Driver Car A Car B Car C Car D Driver 1 3232 2222 3030 3939 Driver 2 2121 3939 3838 3737 Driver 3 2626 3131 3232 3939 Driver 4 3838 4040 2323 3434 Driver 5 3131 2929 2121 2222 Copy Data ANOVA Source of Variation SSSS dfdf MSMS Rows 174.2000174.2000 44 43.550043.5500 Columns 91.600091.6000 33 30.533330.5333 Error 607.4000607.4000 1212…
Hospital floors: Hospital floors are usually bare tiles instead of carpet. Carpets will decrease noise but might increase germ growth. To study this, researchers installed carpet in 8 of 16 hospital rooms. They randomly selected the rooms to carpet. The other rooms had bare tiles. After two weeks of normal use, they collected air samples from the rooms and counted the bacteria in each sample. Based on this description of the experiment, which of the following is a part of the experiment design? Check all that apply. Group of answer choices
Use Table 1 and the following description for Questions 15-17. Researchers are investigating whether the dessert type impacts consumers' taste preference. They design a study where four participants eat four dessert types on three consecutive days. Table 1 shows the study design. All participants (referred as participant 1,..,4) eat all four dessert types (A= Apple pie, B= Banana pudding, C= Chocolate, D= Donut) in randomized order each day (referred as Day 1, Day 2, Day 3), and provide their taste preference (on a scale from 0= hate it, to 10-love it). Researchers are only interested in testing the impact of dessert type on taste preference, but they know that day-to-day and participant-to-participant variation may impact the test results.
