an experiment, some diseased mice were randomly divided into two groups. One group was given an experimental drug. and one was not. The mean remaining lifespan of the mice given the ug was 18.2 days, and the mean remaining lifespan of those not given the drug was 15.0 days. The experiment was randomly simulated many times using a computer without knowing the effect the drug, and the standard deviation of the differences of the sample means of the two groups was 1.1 days. Was the difference in the means in the actual experiment significant at a 05% nfidence level, and for what reason?

Researchers are interested in the effect of pet companionship on depression in elderly adults. They randomly select 25 participants from the target population and record their depression scores before and after spending a month with a dog (a higher score indicates a higher level of depression). The researchers then compute the difference scores for each participant (difference after before). The mean of differences is -1 and the standard deviation of differences is 2. Can the researchers conclude that there is an effect of pet companionship on depression in elderly adults? Conduct the appropriate statistical test (two-tailed) with a = .05. Should you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Reject O Fail to reject
Two separate samples, each with n = 14 individuals, receive different treatments. After treatment, the first sample has SS = 1316 and the second has SS = 1620. Find the pooled Variance for two independent samples. (hundredths place) Type only the pooled variance.
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.

Medical researchers are interested in determining the relative effectiveness of two drug treatments on patients with a chronic mental illness. Treatment 1 has been around for many years, while treatment 2 has recently been developed based on the latest research. The researchers chose two independent test groups. The first group had 9 patients, all of whom received treatment and had a mean time until remission of 166 days, with a standard deviation of 8 days. The second group had 15 patients, all of whom received treatment 2 and had a mean time until remission of 161 days, with a standard deviation of 9 days. Assume that the populations of times until remission for each of the two treatments are normally distributed with equal variance. Can we conclude, at the 0.05 level of significance, that u, the mean number of days until remission after treatment 1, is greater than u,, the mean number of days until remission after treatment 2? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts…
You are interested in studying the average gestational length of pregnancies among African American women in the United States to see if it is different from the rest of the US population. The population mean for gestational length is 39 weeks with a standard deviation of 2 weeks. You take a simple random sample of 22 African American women that gave birth in the last year and find that their mean gestational length is is 38.5 weeks. If you decide to conduct a two-sided test with α = .05. What is the power of this test?
The data from an independent-measures research study produce a sample mean difference of 4 points, and each sample has a variance of 10. If there are n = 20 scores in each sample, then what is the estimated standard error of the difference between means?
A clinical psychologist wants to compare the efficacy of medication versus Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. He specifically believes that medication will reduce the frequency of suicidal ideation more than Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. He finds that the medicated group (n = 22) reports an average of 1.84 suicidal thoughts, with a sample variance = 9.01. The CBT group (n = 22) reports an average of 3.92 with a sample variance of 9.13. What would be the test statisitc the clinican observes given this data? (Be sure to round your answer to the second decimal place). "
A team of researchers found that age distributions in a population of 100,000 people was not Normal. However, after they took a large number of simple random samples, each with (N=100), they observed that the sampling distribution of mean tended toward Normality. Really? Why is it possible?
Suppose a researcher pbserves a population of 12 people and computes SS=204. What is the variance? What is the standard deviation?
In the experiment of A and B consumers, 12 sample points are set for A consumers, and the average value of word-of-mouth is 3 with a variance of 1.2; 8 sample points are set for B consumers, and the average value of word-of-mouth is 5 with a variance of 1.6. Compare whether there is significant difference between the average word-of-mouth of A and B consumers. (a=0.05)
