Does this procedure describe a completely randomized design for this experiment? Yes, the subjects will be exposed to the poison ivy. Yes, the subjects are randomly assigned to each treatment. O No, the subjects are asked to return in three days. It is possible that some of them may not return, which will introduce bias into the results. No, the subjects are randomly assigned to the two treatment groups, but the groups are not guaranteed to have 50 subjects in each.

You are investigating whether a new treatment for depression works better than two established treatments. You randomly assign 90 participants to one of three groups (New Treatment. Established Treatment 1, and Established Treatment 2). Because these are all new types of treatment for depression you don't have any previous research or theory on which to suggest that one treatment will be better or worse than another. After the experiment is completed you explore the mean group differences you found. In so doing you would be conducting O Tukey's post hoc tests O a correlated groups t-test O effect sizes an a priori (planned) comparison
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?
Suppose the Drug Company develops a new drug, designed to prevent colds. The company states that the drug is equally effective for men and women. To test this claim, they choose a simple random sample of 100 women and 200 men from a population of 5,000 volunteers. At the end of the study, 38% of the women caught a cold; and 51% of the men caught a cold. Based on these findings, can we reject the company's claim that the drug is equally effective for men and women? Use a 0.05 level of significance.
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.
Researchers wish to study the effect of daily brain teasers on a person's intelligence. The researchers randomly choose 20 students from their local college campus. Day one of the test, every student is given an IQ test. The students are then randomly divided into Group A and Group B (10 students each). Group A is given daily brain teasers, while Group B were not instructed to participate in anything outside their normal routine. At the end of a 30 day period, each member of the group takes an IQ test. The students are aware of what group they are in, but the researchers have no idea until the results are given. The test given to Group A would be considered the Control Treatment Variable Placebo
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.)

A researcher is creating a new treatment protocol for Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS), a form of preleukemia. Following the old treatment protocol, 28% of patients with MDS will develop leukemia within 5 years of MDS diagnosis. He believes his new treatment protocol will lead to fewer MDS patients developing leukemia. He takes a random sample of 100 individuals on his new treatment protocol. Of these 100 individuals, 20 develop leukemia within 5 years of MDS diagnosis. In questions 8-9, create a 98% confidence interval for the true proportion of all MDS patients on this new treatment who will develop leukemia within 5 years of MDS diagnosis. What is the confidence interval? Do not round your answer. What is the interpretation of your confidence interval?
College Board, the company that runs AP testing, wants to expand access to AP courses. Some schools require that students takethe AP exam at the end of the course while others leave the AP exam as optional. A random sample of 200 students from schoolswhere AP exams are required had 84 students currently enrolled in at least one AP course. Another random sample of 190students from schools where the AP exam is optional had 98 students currently enrolled in at least one AP course.(a) College Board want to test the claim that requiring the AP exam lowers the proportion of students who enroll in at least oneAP course. Carry out a test of this claim at the 5% level of significance. (b) Based on your decision in part (a), what error may have been made, a Type I or Type II error? Give a consequence of thaterror. (c) Interpret the p-value from part (a) in the context of this question.
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?
