To examine the effects of pets and friends in stressful situations, researchers recruited 45 people to participate in an experiment. Fifteen of the subjects were randomly assigned to each of three groups to perform a stressful task alone (control group), with a good friend present, or with their dog present. Each subjects mean heart rate during the task was recorded. Higher heart rates mean more stress. Use an alpha of .05.

For which of the following would it be most appropriate to use an ANOVA to analyze the data? A researcher is interested in determining the most effective format for advertising. He randomly assigns 60 people to one of three groups: (1) television commercial, (2) radio commercial, or (3) magazine advertisement. Group members review the commercial and then report whether or not they would buy the product. In order to determine the effectiveness of different diet plans, 90 people are randomly assigned to one of three groups: (1) low calorie diet, (2) low-fat diet, or (3) low-carb diet. At the end of 60 days, the number of pounds lost was recorded for each of the participants. Both A and B. Neither A nor B.
The director of student services at Oxnard College is interested in whether women are just as likely to attend orientation as men before they begin their coursework. A random sample of freshmen at Oxnard College were asked what their gender is and whether they attended orientation. The results of the survey are shown below: Data for Gender vs. Orientation Attendance Women Men Yes 440 410 No 238 239 What can be conduded at the a - 0.10 level of significance? For this study, we should use z-test for a population proportion a. The null and alternative hypotheses would be: Ho: Select an answer v Select an answer v Select an answer v (please enter a decimal and note that p1 and ul represent the proportion and mean women and and u2 represent proportion and mean for men.)

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.
An investigation is performed to evaluate two new experimental treatments for allergies. 18 subjects who suffer from allergies are enrolled in the study and randomly assigned to one of three treatments: Control Group, Experimental Treatment 1, or Experimental Treatment 2. Each subject is instructed to take the assigned treatment, and symptoms of allergies are recorded on a scale of 1 to 20, with higher scores indicating worse symptoms. The data is summarized in the table below: SBP Std. Deviation Group Mean Control Treatment 6. 16.17 2.483 Experimental Treatment 1 6. 11.33 1.966 Experimental Treatment 6. 3.83 1.472 Total 18 10.44 5.554 Use this data to complete an ANOVA table to test for a significant difference in the means of each of the groups. Round all answers to the third decimal point.
(OPHTHALMOLOGY) The following data are from a study on Botox injections. Patients received a high-dose injection in one eye (experimental treatment = treatment E) and a low-dose injection in the other eye (control treatment = treatment C). Patients were asked to rate the level of pain in each eye on a 1–10 scale, with higher scores indicating more pain. The assignment of treatments to eyes was randomized. The subjects came back over several visits. Data from the last visit are given in the following table: 1. Which of the following is the correct test to conduct given the situation above? 2. The hypotheses are: 3. What is the level of significance? 4. What is the computed test statistic? Hint: Use (mean of "Pain in E eye") minus (mean of "Pain in C eye") 5. What is the correct decision based on the p-value or critical value method?
Do larger universities tend to have more property crime? University crime statistics are affected by a variety of factors. The surrounding community, accessibility given to outside visitors, and many other factors influence crime rate. Let x be a variable that represents student enrollment (in thousands) on a university campus, and let y be a variable that represents the number of burglaries in a year on the university campus. A random sample of n = 8 universities in California gave the following information about enrollments and annual burglary incidents.x 12.3 28.6 24.5 14.3 7.5 27.7 16.2 20.1y 23 72 39 23 15 30 15 25 a) Compute r.

A researcher conducts a between-subjects study to determine whether low levels of the neurochemical serotonin leads to an increase in aggression. One sample of rats serves as a control group and receives a placebo that does not affect normal levels of serotonin. A second sample of rats receives a drug that lowers brain levels of serotonin. Using an alpha level of a = .05, the researcher then tests the animals by recording the number of aggressive responses each of the rats display. The data are as follows: a.) Step 1: State the Hypotheses Ho: H₁: Control n = 10 M = 14 SS=180.5 b.) Step 2: Determine the critical region and draw it on the distribution above: df = > *critical SM₁-M₂ Low Serotonin n = 15 M = 19 SS = 130.0 c.) Step 3: Calculate the test statistic using the provided sample data: tobs d.) Step 4: Make a decision. Circle one: Reject Null (Ho) or Fail to Reject Null (Ho) e.)
