reatment versus Control An experiment was conducted to test the effect of a new drug on a viral infection. he infection was induced in 100 mice, and the mice were randomly split into two groups of 50. The first group, ne control group, received no treatment for the infection. The second group received the drug. After a 30-day eriod, the proportions of survivors, p1 and p2, in the two groups were found to be 0.36 and 0.60, respectively. Is nere sufficient evidence to indicate that the drug is effective in treating the viral infection? Use a-0.05.

To examine the effect of relaxing music on math test performance, a researcher wants to compare the average math test scores of participants who completed the test with relaxing music to performance of participants who completed the same math test without music. The partially computed data collected in the study are shown below: Math Test with Music: Math Test without Music: n1 = 16 n2 = 12 M1 = 82 M2 = 78 SS1 = 150 SS2 = 140 Based on these results, is there a significant effect of relaxing music on math test performance? Use a t-test for independent samples with p < .01, 2-tails to answer this research question. Follow the steps of hypothesis testing and insert your answers below. In your calculations, round all numbers to two decimal places to avoid rounding errors. ANSWER H0: H1: Computed pooled variance sp2: Estimated standard SM1 - M2: Computed t: Critical t-value for…
A researcher believes that there may be a negative association between the quantity of fertilizer used and the percentage of the population who live in rural areas in different countries. The data below shows the percentage of the population who live in rural areas and the fertilizer use measured in kg per hectare, for a random sample of 11 countries. 33%= 76kg, 6%=44kg, 58%= 6kg, 35%=68kg, 81%=3kg, 69%=10kg, 61%=7kg, 7%=176kg,74%=5kg, 71%=137kg, 17%=157kg Use the Spearman's rank order coefficient method to affirm or disagree with the researchers assumption.
Two groups were polled about their attitudes towards capital punishment. In one group 30 out of 100 favored capital punishment, and in the other group 40 out of 80 favored capital punishment. Calculate an appropriate test value test the hypothesis that the population proportions are the same.
Consider the following studies. Study I: A researcher randomly divided 200 high school students into two groups. The first group was told to not exercise. The second group was told to exercise at least 5 hours each week. At the end of two months, the heart rates of each participant in each group were measured at rest. It was found that the group that exercised 5 hours a week had a significantly lower average heart rate. Study II: A researcher gathered 200 high school students randomly, asked them how long they exercised each week, and then measured their heart rates at rest. It was found that students who exercised at least 5 hours a week had a significantly lower average heart rate. Part A: Which study was experimental? Why? Study IStudy II Part B: List the explanatory and response variables in the studies.

A medical researcher wants to test the effectiveness of a new drug in treating a certain disease. They randomly assigned 100 patients to two groups: one group received the new drug, and the other group received a placebo. After a month, they measured the patients' symptom severity on a scale of 1 to 10. The researcher found that the mean symptom severity score for the group that received the new drug was lower than the mean score for the group that received the placebo. How can the researcher test the hypothesis that the new drug is effective in treating the disease? What statistical test should they use?
Public relation companies conducted two surveys about deodorants. The first survey asked a random sample of 500 men about their use of a natural deodorant. A second survey asked the same questions to a random sample of 550 women. In these two studies, 68% of men and 44% of women stated they were dissatisfied with the effectiveness of natural deodorants. Use these results to answer the following questions about the proportion of men and women's satisfaction with natural deodorants. (Round to the nearest whole person as needed). Is there a statistically significant difference between men and women's satisfaction with natural deodorants? A Yes, the proportion of men that are satisfied with natural deodorants is significantly less than the proportion of women that are satisfied with natural deodorants because both the lower limit and the upper limit of the confidence interval are positive values. B Yes, the proportion of men that are satisfied with natural…
The authors of a paper randomly selected two samples of patients admitted to the hospital after suffering a stroke. One sample was selected from patients who received biofeedback weight training for 8 weeks, and the other sample was selected from patients who did not receive this training. At the end of 8 weeks, the time it took (in seconds) to stand from a sitting position and then to sit down again (called sit-stand-sit time) was measured for the people in each sample. Data consistent with summary quantities given in the paper are given below. For purposes of this exercise, you can assume that the samples are representative of the population of stroke patients who receive the biofeedback training and the population of stroke patients who do not receive this training. Biofeedback Group 2.2 2.9 4.6 2.4 3.0 4.4 3.5 4.3 3.5 3.8 3.1 3.8 3.8 2.6 3.4 No Biofeedback Group 5.2 4.8 4.0 4.3 4.8 4.4 4.3 5.2 3.5 4.3 5.2 4.5 4.1 3.5 4.0 Conduct a test of hypothesis to test whether…

A pharmaceutical company is testing the effectiveness of its vaccine across two different age brackets. They take a sample and split the participants up into two separate groups. Group A consists of 44 people who are between ages 13 and 18. Group B consists of 58 people between ages 19 and 26. After being administered the vaccine, it was found that 37 people from group A were immune to the virus and 42 people from group B were immune. What proportion of people from Group A were immune? What proportion of people from Group B were immune? What proportion of people in this study were immune?

A researchers is interested in the amount of sleep an individual receives after consuming a sleeping aid (Melatonin, Valerian root, and Placebo). The researcher randomly selects individuals into either group. However, some individuals drop out of the study which results in unequal sample sizes. Melatonin: n=6, M=14, T=84, SS=60 Valerian: n=10, M=13, T=130, SS=90 Placebo: n=4, M=9, T=36, SS=37 N=20, G=250, x2=3377 a.Using symbols, state the hypotheses for a two-tailed test with α=0.05.
