5. A researcher finds 1000 mildly overweight women who exercise regularly, have nothad a heart attack, and are willing to participate in the study. She randomly assigns500 of the women to take an appetite suppressant. The other 500 women are given aplacebo. Both groups are followed for five years, and the amount of weight lost afterthis time is recorded. The factor in the experiment is:a. the weight lost by women in the study.b. the use of a control group taking a placebo.c. consisting of the appetite suppressant or placebo beingadministered.d. the length of the study.

Aspirin III: Decision and Conclusion Regarding the experiment in the data frame Aspirin from the abd package, the researchers wanted to know whether or not taking aspirin affects one's risk of developing cancer. Recall that they defined their parameters as follows: p1 = the proportion of ALL individuals who would develop cancer, if all of them were to take aspirin like the subjects in the Aspirin group did. p2 = the proportion of ALL individuals who would develop cancer, if all of them were to take a placebo, like the subjects in the placebo group did. They ran the code for a two-sided significance test and got the following results: ## ## ## Inferential Procedures for the Difference of Two Proportions p1-p2:## cancer grouped by treatment ## ## ## Descriptive Results:## ## yes n estimated.prop## Aspirin 1438 19934 0.07214## Placebo 1427 19942 0.07156## ## ## Inferential Results:## ## Estimate of p1-p2: 0.0005805 ## SE(p1.hat - p2.hat): 0.002586 ## ##…

Dexamethasone and IQ. In the paper “Outcomes at School Age After Postnatal Dexamethasone Therapy for Lung Disease of Prematurity” (New England Journal of Medicine, Vol. 350, No. 13, pp. 1304–1313), T. Yeh et al. studied the outcomes at school age in children who had participated in a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of early postnatal dexamethasonetherapy for the prevention of chronic lung disease of prematurity. One result reported in the study was that, at school age, the control group of 74 children had an average IQ score of 84.4, whereas the dexamethasone group of 72 children had an average IQ score of 78.

You are interested in investigating the efficacy of a new pain medication and design an experiment measuring pain levels before and after the administration of a new medication. You recruit 9 people to participate in your study and bring the same 9 participants in for two separate sessions.

What is the t-test statistic value? Round to the nearest tenth. What conclusion would you make on the above data, based on the t-value you calculated and the critical value of t? O You accept the null hypothesis because the t-value you calculated is inside the bounds of the critical t-value O You reject the null hypothesis because the t-value you calculated is inside the bounds of the critical t-value O You reject the null hypothesis because the t-value you calculated is outside the…

Johnson and Leone describe an experiment to investigate the warping of copper plates. The two factors studied were temperature and the copper content of the plates. The response variable was a measure of the amount of warping.
