When a t-test is used to compare pre- and post-treatment data. What does the t-test reveal about the difference between baseline and treatment?
You’re interested in knowing if a walking plus strength training exercise program results in a significantly greater increase in maxVo2 as compared to a walking only or a strength training only exercise program. Participants are randomly selected and then randomly assigned to one of three groups— walking plus strength training, walking only, or strength training only. After 6-months of exercise the participants are assessed. Which statistical analyses was used?
The following is data about the hemoglobin concentrations of volunteers collected at sea level and at an altitude of 11000 feet. sea level concentrations = [14.70 , 15.22, 15.28, 16.58, 15.10 , 15.66, 15.91, 14.41, 14.73, 15.09, 15.62, 14.92]11000 feet concentrations = [14.81, 15.68, 15.57, 16.59, 15.21, 15.69, 16.16, 14.68, 15.09, 15.30 , 16.15, 14.76] There are two alternative scenarios about the way the data were obtained. In scenario 1, there are 12 volunteers who lived for a month at sea level, at which time blood was drawn and the data in "sea level concentrations" dataset were obtained. Subsequently, all 12 volunteers were moved to 11000 ft and after a month the data in the "11000 feet concentrations" dataset obtained. There is a one to one correspondence between the numbers in the two datasets, that is the first numbers correspond to volunteer1, the second numbers to volunteer2 etc. In scenario 2, the "sea level concentrations" dataset is a random sample obtained from 12…
Individual actions can play a large role in the overall health of our planet. A researcher interested in evaluating environment friendly behaviors evaluated how often people recycle (per month) based on whether they have an overall optimistic or an overall pessimistic attitude toward eco-friendly behaviors. The results from this hypothetical study are given in the table. Test whether or not recycling behaviors differed between groups using a .05 level of significance. State the value of the test statistics and the decision to retain or reject the null hypothesis. Compute effect size using eta- squared (n^2).

Acne is a common skin disease that affects most adolescents and can continue into adulthood. A study compared the effectiveness of three acne treatments and a placebo, all in gel form, applied twice daily for 12 weeks. The study's 517 teenage volunteers were randomly assigned to one of the four treatments. Success was assessed as clear or almost clear skin at the end of the 12 week period. The results of the study can be seen in the table below. Using the appropriate statistical test, determine if there is significant evidence that the four treatments perform differently. If so, how do they compare.
Genetic drugs are lower cost substitutes for brand-name drugs. Before a genetic drug can be sold in the United States, it must be tested found to perform equivalently to the brand-name product. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is now supervising the testing of new genetic antifungal ointment. The Brand-name ointment is known to deliver a mean of 3.5 micrograms of active ingredient to each square centimeter of skin. As part of the testing, seven subjects apply the ointment. Six hours later, the amount of drugs that has been absorbed into the skin measured. The amounts, in micrograms, are 2.6, 3.2, 2.1, 3.0, 3.1, 2.9, 3.7 How strong is the evidence that the mean amount absorbed differs from 3.5 micrograms? Test by using a confidence interval with ?=0.05α=0.05. Show Step1-Step3. Round critical value to nearest hundredth. (e.g. 0.1256 would be entered as 0.13) Round confidence interval to nearest thousandth. (e.g. 0.12456 would be entered as 0.125)
