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.

An experiment sought to discover if a course on nutrition would influence the Body Mass Index (BMI) of the students enrolled. Measures of body fat percentages were taken before the yearlong course and then again at the end of the course for each of the 10 students. The data are as follows: Student: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Before: 16.85 18.62 35.79 22.66 18.74 22.25 19.95 14.61 27.49 20.00 End: 16.42 18.53 36.01 22.53 18.59 22.03 19.25 14.06 26.11 19.42 Test the hypothesis at the 0.05 level of significance that the mean body fat percentages of the students decreased by the end of the course.
A local youth service agency has begun a sex education program for teenage girls who have been referred by the juvenile courts. The girls were given a 20-item test for general knowledge about sex, contraception, and anatomy and physiology upon admission to the program and again after completing the program. The scores of the first 15 girls to complete the program are listed below. Case Pretest Posttest A 8 12 B 7 13 C 10 12 D 15 19 E 10 8 F 10 17 G 3 12 H 10 11 I 5 7 J 15 12 K 13 20 L 4 5 M 10 15 N 8 11 0 12 20 Construct frequency distribution for the pretest and posttest scores. Include a column for percentage. (Hint: There were 20 items on the test, so the maximum range for these scores is 20. If you use 10 class intervals to display these scores, the interval size will be 2. Since there are no scores of 0 or 1 for either test, you may state the first…
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. The data are as follows: Temperature (°C) 50 75 100 Copper Content (%) 40 60 80 100 17 20 12 9 16 12 21 17 21 16 24 21 18 13 18 21 ZZFEHERRE 23 22 27 17 27 31 30 23 29 31 12 25 23 23 28 22 125 Source: Applied Statistics and Probability for Engineers, 6th Edition, Douglas, C.

O Macmillan Learning Many young men in North America and Europe (but not in Asia) tend to think they need more muscle to be attractive. One study presented 200 young American men with 100 images of men with various levels of muscle. Researchers measure level of muscle in kilograms per square meter of body surface area (kg/m²). Typical young men have about 20 kg/m². Each subject chose two images, one that represented his own level of body muscle and one that he thought represented "what women prefer." The mean gap between self-image and "what women prefer" was 2.35 kg/m². Suppose that the "muscle gap" in the population of all young men has a Normal distribution with standard deviation 2.5 kg/m². Give a 90% confidence interval for the mean amount of muscle young men think they should add to be attractive to women. (They are wrong: women actually prefer a level close to that of typical men.) Give your answers to four decimal places. lower limit: upper limit: Chi-Fu Jeffrey Yang, Peter…

his question refers to excavations at a national monument. One question the archaeologists asked was: Is raw material used by prehistoric Indians for stone tool manufacture independent of the archaeological excavation site? Two different excavation sites gave the information in the following table. Use a chi-square test with 5% level of significance to test the claim that raw material used for construction of stone tools and excavation site are independent. Excavation Site Material Site A Site B Row Total Basalt 756 559 1315 Obsidian 92 103 195 Pedernal chert 514 521 1035 Other 88 91 179 Column Total 1450 1274 2724 (a) What is the level of significance? (b) Find the value of the chi-square statistic for the sample. (Round the expected frequencies to at least three decimal places. Round the test statistic to three decimal places.)
