In a recent study, patients' cholesterol levels were taken, then participants took a new drug that was designed to lower their cholesterol for six weeks. Patients’ cholesterol levels were then measured again. Assuming random sampling was used and normality was met, would a paired t-test or an independent t-test be used to determine if the new drug is effective? The raw data is listed below.| Patient | Cholesterol Level Before Drug | Cholesterol Level After Drug ||---------|-------------------------------|------------------------------|| 1 | 238 | 235 || 2 | 240 | 241 || 3 | 246 | 235 || 4 | 210 | 202 || 5 | 219 | 207 |- Independent two-sample t-test- Paired t-test**Explanation:** The study involves measuring the same patients' cholesterol levels before and after administering a drug, which suggests using a paired t-test. Since the measurements are dependent (each patient serves as their own control), the paired t-test is more appropriate to determine the effect of the drug on cholesterol levels.

The Wisconsin Fish and Game Department stocked a lake with 30% catfish, 15 % bass, 40% bluegill, and 15% Northern Pike. Five years later they took a random sample of 500 fish from the lake and found 120 catfish, 85 bass, 220 bluegill, and 75 Northern Pike. At the 5% level of significance, can we show that the distribution of fish changed over the 5-year interval? State and test appropriate hypotheses. State conclusions.
A college administrator wants to know if there is a significant difference between sexual orientation and level of family support for students at their college. The administrator takes a random sample of students who identify as gay/lesbian, bisexual or heterosexual/straight. There were 22 students sampled in each category. A measure of family support is given with higher scores indicating more family support. The means are as follows: Gay/lesbian Bisexual Heterosexual/Straight MG/L = 16 MBi = 17 MH/S = 22 Source SS df MS F Orientation 300 Error 2961 Total What is the value of df total?
A clinical trial is conducted to compare a new pain re- liever for arthritis to a placebo. Participants are randomly assigned to receive the new medication or a placebo, and the outcome is pain relief within 30 minutes. The data are shown in Table 7–8. Is there a significant difference in the proportions of patients reporting pain relief? Run the test at a 5% level of significance. Pain Relief No Pain Relief New Medication 44 76 Placebo 21 99 How would I use excel with this?
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 repeated-measures ANOVA produces SSbetween treatments = 25 and MSbetween treatments = 5. In this analysis, how many treatment conditions are being compared? Select one: a. 2 b. 6 c. 5 d. 4
News reports speak of an emerging crisis of childhood obesity in the United States. The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) is a government survey run every several years recording a number of vital statistics on a random sample of Americans. A body mass index (BMI) is computed for each individual in the sample based on the individual's height and weight. Here are sample results for 8-year-old boys over the past 40 years. The table gives the sample size for 3 different surveys, the sample mean and sample standard deviation. Suppose we want to run an ANOVA to see if there is a difference in mean BMI for the three surveys. Assume each survey is a random sample and there are no extreme outliers.What is the sample standard deviations for each survey? ...the NHES II study? ...the NHANES II study? ...the NHANES study?

Genetic drugs are lower cost substitutes for brand-name drugs. Before a genetic drug can be sold in the United States, it must be tested found to perform equivalently to the brand-name product. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is now supervising the testing of new genetic antifungal ointment. The Brand-name ointment is known to deliver a mean of 3.5 micrograms of active ingredient to each square centimeter of skin. As part of the testing, seven subjects apply the ointment. Six hours later, the amount of drugs that has been absorbed into the skin measured. The amounts, in micrograms, are 2.6, 3.2, 2.1, 3.0, 3.1, 2.9, 3.7 How strong is the evidence that the mean amount absorbed differs from 3.5 micrograms?
