Researchers investigate how the presence of cell phones influence the quality of human interaction. Subjects are randomly selected from a population and divided into an experimental group that is asked to leave their phones in the front of the room and a control group that are not asked to leave their cell phones at the front of the room. Subjects are left alone for 10 minutes and then asked to take a survey designed to measure quality of interactions they had with others in the experiment. What statistical test is appropriate?
A science project involves testing the effects of different types of music on plant growth. A sample of 24 newly sprouted bean plants is obtained. The plants are randomly assigned to each experimental condition (6 per group). The experimental conditions are: rock music, heavy metal, country, and classical. The dependent variable is the height of each plant after 2 weeks. The ANOVA results are summarized as follows: MSB = 10 and SSW =40. Construct a summary table for this study
You are concerned that nausea may be a side effect of Tamiflu, but you cannot just give Tamiflu to patients with the flu and say that nausea is a side effect if people become nauseous. This is because nausea is common for people who have the flu.Past studies state that about 33% of people who get the flu experience nausea. You collected data on 2248 patients who were taking Tamiflu to relieve symtoms of the flu, and found that 810 experienced nausea. You decide to carry out a simulation to test the claim that the percentage of people who take Tamiflu for the relief of flu symtoms and experience nausea is greater than 33%.a) Identify the null and alternative hypotheses.H0H0: ? p = p ≠ p < p > p ≤ p ≥ μ = μ ≠ μ < μ > μ ≤ μ ≥ H1H1: ? p = p ≠ p < p > p ≤ p ≥ μ = μ ≠ μ < μ > μ ≤ μ ≥
You are interested in testing if there is a difference in weight-loss between 3 popular diet types; low calorie, low fat and low carb. Participants are randomly assigned one of the three groups or a control group. The control group will be told that are participating in a weight-loss study, but will not be following any particular diet. This is to study the placebo effect, weight-loss from just participating in the study. At the start of the study, each participant's weight is recorded in pounds. After 8 weeks they are weighed again, and the weight difference is recorded. A positive value represents a weight loss while a negative value represents a weight gain. Test at 10% significance. Round answers to 3 decimal places.

A researcher conducts a two-way ANOVA to determine how eating breakfast affects children's grades in school. Factor A has three levels: no breakfast, sugary breakfast, high protein breakfast. Factor B has two levels: males and females. Factor B has no main effect and there is no interaction effect. It is safe to conclude that _________. a. Factor A does not influence the participant's grades b. Factor B does not influence the participant's grades c. Factor A has an influence on the participant's grades d. Factor B has an influence on the participant's grades Clear my choice
Most cases of cervical cancer are linked to a few strains of the human papilloma virus (HPV). The pharmaceutical company Merck developed a vaccine (Gardisil) against these HPV strains. Worldwide clinical trials followed young women after vaccination or administration of placebo for two to four years for signs of HPV-caused cervical cancer. Based on a sample of 100 women in the Gardisil group, 24 % developed cervical cancer, and based on a sample of 100 women in the placebo group, 34 % developed cervical cancer. Test the claim that the proportion of women who developed cervical cancer in the Gardisil group is less than the proportion of women who developed cervical cancer in the placebo group at a = 0.10. Round your answers to three decimal places, and round any interim calculations to four decimal places. Fill in the hypotheses below where p₁ denotes the proportion of women who developed cervical cancer in the Gardisil group and P2 denotes the proportion of women who developed cervical…
If the results of a two-factor ANOVA show no main effect for factor A but show a significant interaction, then the results indicate that factor A has no effect on the subjects' scores. True or False
You also conducted a review of the research literature and found that similar studies examining the relationship between alcohol consumption and liver cancer found the following: Smithson et al. RR 3.3 (95% CI:1.95-5.20) Ribera et al. RR 2.1 (95% CI:1.17-3.33) Gonzalez et al. RR 2.75 (95% CI 2.26-3.45) Which one of Hill’s criteria does this illustrate? Explain.
A team of epidemiologists at the Mayo Clinic wanted to find whether there is an association between obesity and cardiovascular disease (CVD). They conducted a prospective cohort study following obese and non-obese individuals who were free of CVD at the beginning of study for five years. The investigators were also interested in assessing age as a potential confounder, effect modifier, or both. Use the data below to answer the accompanying questions. CVD No CVD Total Obese 10 90 100 Not Obese 35 465 500 Total 45 555 600 CVD No CVD Total Obese 36 164 200 Not Obese 25 175 200 Total 61 339 400 1. Compute the appropriate measure of association for those who were less than age 50. 2. Compute the appropriate measure of association for those who were older or equal to age 50. 3. Compute the crude measure of association? 4. List three attributes that age must satisfy before it could…
You are conducting a hypothetical retrospective study on use of plastics and prevalence of current medical problems in students. You hypothesize that participants who used more plastic cups in high school will exhibit more medical problems today. You ask all PH1 students to recall how many times they drank out of plastic cups in high school. Your participants struggle to recall this information and end up guessing how often they used plastic drinking containers in high school. Your study design will be negatively impacted by: (select one) A. Misrepresentation B. Recall error C. Negative associations D. Recall bias
