What statistical method would be most appropriate for addressing the research questions? Be sure to provide justification of the statistical method. When a statistical test is needed, provide appropriate null and research hypotheses.
Consider the following research questions/study scenarios. For each study, discuss the most appropriate methods for describing the data (graphically and numerically). What statistical method would be most appropriate for addressing the research questions? Be sure to provide justification of the statistical method. When a statistical test is needed, provide appropriate null and research hypotheses.
Stress has been related to several poor health outcomes, particularly high blood pressure. Women will be surveyed on stress levels (defined as small/moderate, and large/overwhelming) and will have their blood pressure assessed at a clinic. Women will be categorized as having high blood pressure or not (the outcome of interest). Weight and height will also be assessed at the clinic visit to obtain BMI. Is there a relationship between stress and high blood pressure, controlling for BMI?
Provided situation is:
Women were surveyed on stress levels (defined as small/moderate, and large/overwhelming) and their blood pressure assessed at a clinic. Women categorized as having high blood pressure or not (the outcome of interest). Weight and height is assessed at the clinic visit to obtain BMI.
