In a randomized controlled trial, insecticide-treated bednets were tested as a way to reduce malaria. Among 349 infants using bednets, 22 developed malaria. Among 257 infants not using bednets, 23 developed malaria. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the incidence of malaria is lower for infants using bednets. Do the bednets appear to be effective? Conduct the hypothesis test by using the results from the given display.

Classify the cases/scenario as regards to the appropriate design/analysis for the experiments: A woman learned from a friend that rubbing the leaves with either egg white or coconut oil could enhance the appearance of indoor plants. But she was doubtful that this will induce withering of the leaves. She then plans to conduct an experiment to compare the effects of these two. For better comparison, she would like to include a control (no egg whole nor coconut oil) and the outcome data follows a non-normal distribution. * (Parametric/Nonparametric – Design/Analysis e.g. Par-ANOVA(RCBD), Nonpar-Wilcoxon test) Your answer
In one study of smokers who tried to quit smoking with nicotine patch therapy, 35 were smoking one year after treatment and 30 were not smoking one year after the treatment. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that among smokers who try to quit with nicotine patch therapy, the majority are smoking one year after the treatment. Do these results suggest that the nicotine patch therapy is not effective? H1: p0.5 H:p= 0.5 Identify the test statistic for this hypothesis test. The test statistic for this hypothesis test is.

According to a recent poll, the percentage of Americans who would vote for the incumbent president is 53%. If a random sample of 100 people in New York results in 45% who would vote for the incumbent, test the claim that the percentage of people in New York who would vote for the incumbent president is different from 53%. Use the following results and a 0.10 significance level to state your decision about H0. H0 : p=0.53 H1 : p≠0.53 test statistic: z = -1.6 p value = 0.1090
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 researcher wanted to examine whether type of dog food (freeze dried meat vs generic brand kibble) would affect dogs’ attention span. The researcher hypothesized that dogs who ate freeze dried meat would have longer attention spans than those who ate generic brand kibble. The researcher used a single sample of 13 subjects, that took part in both treatment conditions. The researcher set the alpha level at .01. The mean of the difference scores (MD)was 7.0 and the SSD for the difference in attention spans was 144. What is the calculated test statistic to the nearest thousandth? Be sure to put the positive or negative sign in front of it. Note: SHOW ALL WORK!!! Based on your work above, do you reject or retain the null? reject retain Based on your conclusion regarding the null, was there a treatment effect? Yes No

Select all that apply: We should reject H0. We should not reject H0. At the 1% significance level, the data do not provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the amount of time American teenagers watch television per week is different from 14.1 hours.

Does buttered toast fall face down? Data was collected to test this. 40 slices of toast (each with butter on one side) were dropped (from the same height). 24 slices (60%) landed buttered side down. We would like to use the results of this study to determine if there is statistical evidence that toast tends to land buttered side down more than 50% of the time.
An immunologist is testing the hypothesis that the current flu vaccine is less than 71% effective against the flu virus. The immunologist is using a 10% significance level and thesehypotheses: H0: p=0.71 and Ha: p<0.71. Explain what the 10% significance level means in context.
Nutritional researchers conducted an investigation of two high-fiber diets intended to reduce cholesterol level. a group of people with high cholesterol were randomly selected to receive an "rice" diet or a "vegetable" diet for 20 days. Use a t-test to compare the diets at 5% significance level. Null Hypothesis: The means from two respective diets are the same Alternative Hypothesis: The means from the two diets differ. Fall in Cholesterol (mg/dL) Diet n Mean SD Rice 10 14.4 6.8 Vegetable 9 10.57 6.37 do we fail to reject the null hypothesis or reject null hypothesis
Researchers have noted a decline in cognitive functioning as people age (Bartus, 1990). However, the results from other research suggest that the antioxidants in foods such as blueberries may reduce and even reverse these age-related declines (Joseph et al., 1999). To examine this phenomenon, suppose that a researcher obtains a sample of n = 16 adults who are between the ages of 65 and 75. The researcher uses a standardized test to measure cognitive performance for each individual. The participants then begin a 2-month program in which they receive daily doses of a blueberry supplement. At the end of the 2-month period, the researcher again measures cognitive performance for each participant. The results show an average increase in performance of MD = 7.4 with SS = 1215. Does this result support the conclusion that the antioxidant supplement has a significant effect on cognitive performance? Use a two-tailed test with α = .05. Show your computations.
