1. State whether it will experimental or observational 2. If observational, identify which type specifically (retrospective cohort, prospective cohort, case-control, cross-sectional, ecological) 3. Briefly explain how you can tell what type of study it is. In 2010, we examined the medical records of 2,000 patients ages 53+ associated with Kaiser Permanente (large health care organization) who did NOT have kidney disease in 2005. Then, we look back in the records to see who took BZDs from 2000-2005. After that, we look to see who developed kidney disease from 2006 until 2008. We compared the rates of kidney disease among those who took the BZDs and those who didn’t.

2.2 In the following descriptions of a study, confounding is present. Describe the explanatory and confounding variable in the study and how the confounding may invalidate the conclusions of the study. Furthermore, suggest how you would change the study to eliminate the effect of the confounding variable. A hospital introduces a new screening procedure to identify patients suffering from a stroke so that a new blood clot medication can be given to the patient during the crucial period of 12 hours after stroke begins. The procedure appears to be very successful because in the first year of its implementation there is a higher rate of total recovery by the patients in comparison to the rate in the previous year for patients admitted to the hospital. A high school mathematics teacher is convinced that a new software program will improve math scores for students taking the SAT. As a method of evaluating her theory, she offers the students an opportunity to use the software on the…
7. Effect size - Cohen's d and r squared
How would you interpret these results? 1. The effect of gender caused different levels of Stroop tas performance at different ages. 2. The effect of age caused different levels of Stroop task performance in men than women. 3. The interaction between gender and age did not affect Stroop task performance. 4. a and b 5. None of the above.
7. Effect size - Cohen's d and r squared An industrial/organizational psychologist has been consulting with a company that runs weekend job-seeking workshops for the unemployed. She collected data on several issues related to these workshops and, after conducting statistical tests, obtained statistically significant findings. She needs to find a way to evaluate effect size so that she can make recommendations to the company. One of the psychologist’s findings is that 18 months after the workshop, a sample of 36 job seekers who received training on resume writing scored an average of 7.3 as measured on a 9-point job-search motivation scale, with a standard deviation of 1.5. The typical job seeker scores 6.1 points. The psychologist finds that the estimated Cohen’s d is , the t statistic is 4.80, and r² is . Using Cohen’s d and Cohen’s guidelines for interpreting the effect size with the estimated Cohen’s d, there is a treatment effect. Using r² and the extension…
10. The most common species of sweat bees are green, red, and yellow. For each color, we select a sample of 100 of bees of this color and record their length (in inches). We then create 3 data sets of 100 observations each, called "green", "red" and "yellow". Below are the boxplots and histograms for these data sets. The labels of the variables are missing from the histograms, but are included in the boxplots. Our task is to identify the missing labels. Which one of the following statements is correct? HAE 1141 (a) green (b) red (c) yellow 00 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 0.5 1.0 1.5 20 0.0 05 1.0 1.5 (d) (e) (f) A) Histogram (d) is for green, (e) is for red, and (f) is for yellow.

The hypothesis should revolve around one of the variables collected for all subjects. Your results section should describe the general course of one subject’s response from your individual analysis and then evaluate your hypothesis for a specific collective variable. Please explain this in plain english. I dont understand the instructions. Here is a reference of the subjects.

6. In the book Business Research Methods (5th ed.), Donald R. Cooper and C. William Emory discuss studying the relationship between on-the-job accidents and smoking. Cooper and Emory describe the study as follows: Suppose a manager implementing a smoke-free workplace policy is interested in whether smoking affects worker accidents. Since the company has complete reports of on-the-job accidents, she draws a sample of names of workers who were involved in accidents during the last year. A similar sample from among workers who had no reported accidents in the last year is drawn. She interviews members of both groups to determine if they are smokers or not. The sample results are given in the following table.
