Suppose that medical researchers collect datafrom an experiment comparing a new drugto an existing drug (call this the treatmentvariable), regarding whether it madepatients' symptoms improve (call this theoutcome variable). A check for independenceshows that the outcome is related to thetreatment the patients receive.a. Are treatment and outcome independentor dependent in this case?b. Do the results mean that the new medi-cine causes the symptoms to improve?Explain your answer.

Answered: Suppose that medical researchers…

Carter et al investigated the effect of age at onset of bipolar disorder on the course of the illness. One of the variables studied was the subjects' family history. The table below shows the frequency of a family history of mood disorders in the two groups of interest: early age at onset (18years or younger) and later age at onset (later than 18 years old). Can we conclude on the basis of these data that subjects 18 or younger differ from subjects older than 18 with respect to family histories ofmood disorders?

Is there a relationship between autism and what an infant is fed? To determine if there is, a researcher asked a random sample of mothers what they had fed their infant and they also recorded whether or not the child was autistic. Almost all brands of formula sold in the U.S. are now fortified with DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and ARA (arachidonic acid). The data are in the table below. Do the data provide enough evidence to show that that what an infant is fed and autism are dependent? Test at the 1% level and round expected values to one decimal place. what an infant is fed yes (Observed) yes (Expected Value) no (Observed) no (Expected Value) Row Total breastmilk 6 422 428 formula with DHA/ARA 7 1156 1163 formula without DHA/ARA 15 525 540 Column Total 28 2103 2131 H: HypothesesHo:Ho:Select an answer whether or not a child has autism infant infants yes and Select an answer what an infant is fed infant infants no are Select an answer independent…
A sleep researcher wants to determine whether a new pillow might reduce snoring amongst patients with this type of sleep apnea. Participants are randomly assigned to use the new pillow or a control condition (regular pillow). Their sleep behavior is recorded on audiotape with time snoring. The findings indicate significantly less snoring takes place with the new pillow. Identify the independent variable (and categories) and the dependent variable. Explain a Type I error in terms of this study. Explain a Type II error in terms of this study.
A study focused on the perception of life satisfaction that may vary betweenolder and younger people. For this reason, at random 12 adults over the age of 70 and 16 adults aged between 18 and 30 took a life satisfaction questionnaire that gave a score for each one of them (high values of the score indicate higher life satisfaction). Summaries of these scores are presented below.
A researcher would like to determine the effects of School Type and SES on Math scores. Conduct the appropriate analysis to address this research question. Fully and substantively interpret the results of all relevant statistical tests conducted. Provide an appropriate plot to represent the interaction effect and describe the pattern of results. Do the results of the statistical test of the interaction from part (a) (provided) agree with those that appear in the plot? Explain why or why not.

A recent issue of the AARP Bulletin reported that the average weekly pay for a woman with a high school degree is $520 (AARP Bulletin, January-February, 2010). Suppose you would like to determine if the average weekly pay for all working women is significantly greater than that for women with a high school degree. Data providing the weekly pay for a sample of 50 working women are available in the file named WeeklyPay. These data are consistent with the findings reported in the AARP article. a) State the hypotheses that should be used to test whether the mean weekly pay for all women is significantly greater than the mean weekly pay for women with a high school degree. b) Use the data in the file named WeeklyPay to compute the sample mean, the test statistic, and the p-value. c) Use a = .05. What is your conclusion? d) Repeat the hypothesis test using the critical value approach.

A study of elementary school children, ages 6 to 11, finds a high positive correlation between shoe size x and score y on a test of reading comprehension. The observed correlation is most likely due to: the effect of a lurking variable, such as age or years of reading experience. a mistake, because the correlation must be negative. reverse cause and effect (higher reading comprehension causes larger shoe size). cause and effect (larger shoe size causes higher reading comprehension).
Researchers ran a multiple linear regression to determine if belief accuracy in a political claim when given misinformation was related to the following independent variables: One’s level of anger (coded low = 0, high = 1) One’s level of anxiety (coded low = 0, high = 1) Whether the source of misinformation about the claim came from their own political party (in-party, coded from the other party = 0, from their party = 1) Whether or not a correction of misinformation was made (coded correction without evidence = 0, correction with evidence = 1) One’s political knowledge (continuous measurement from 0-4) One of the two issues in question (coded illegal immigration = 0, death penalty = 1) 4. The Adjusted R2 for Model 3 is 0.193. How would one interpret this? 5. In putting together a final model, would you want to remove any variables from Model 3? Why or why not? 6. They did not report standardized regression coefficients (β’s). What would the standardized regression…
