The males of stalk-eyed flies (Cyrtodiopsis dalmanni) have long eye stalks. The females sometimes use the length of these eye stalks to choose mates. Is the male’s eye-stalk length affected by the quality of its diet? An experiment was carried out in which two groups of male “stalkies” were reared on different foods (David et al. 2000). One group was fed “corn” (considered a high quality food), while the other was fed “cotton” wool (a food of substantially lower quality). Each male was raised singly and so represents an independent sampling unit. The eye spans (the distance between the eyes) were recorded in millimeters. The raw data, which are plotted as histograms below, are as follows:
Corn diet: 2.15, 2.14, 2.13, 2.13, 2.12, 2.11, 2.1, 2.08, 2.08, 2.08, 2.04, 2.05, 2.03, 2.02, 2.01, 2, 1.99, 1.96, 1.95, 1.93, 1.89Cotton diet: 2.12, 2.07, 2.01, 1.93, 1.77, 1.68, 1.64, 1.61, 1.59, 1.58, 1.56, 1.55, 1.54, 1.49, 1.45, 1.43, 1.39, 1.34, 1.33, 1.29, 1.26, 1.24, 1.11, 1.05

An experiment to determine if a migraine medication decreases a person's average number of monthly migraines is performed on 400 people who report they have several migraines a month. Researchers randomly assigned 200 people to the treatment group and 200 people to the control group. After the study, the researchers determined that 48 of the subjects in the treatment group and 28 of the subjects in the control group average fewer migraines per month. The data from the two groups are resampled 150 times, and the table shows the distribution of the differences of the proportions for the reconfigured treatment and control groups.

- What is an experiment?arrow_forwardA study was conducted to determine whether big-city and small-town dwellers differed in their helpfulness to strangers. In this study, the investigators rang the doorbells of strangers living in a large City or small towns in the vicinity. They explained they had misplaced the address of a friend living in the neighbourhood and asked to use the phone. The following data show the number of individuals who admitted or did not admit the strangers (the investigators) into their homes: Helpfulness to strangers Admitted strangers into their home Didnot admit strangers into their home Big city dwellers 60 90 Small town dwellers 70 30 State the dependent and independent variable Is this a directional or non directionalarrow_forwardEchinacea is widely used as an herbal remedy for the common cold, but does it work? In a double-blind experiment, healthy volunteers agreed to be exposed to common-cold-causing rhinovirus type 39 and have their symptoms monitored. The volunteers were randomly assigned to take either a placebo or an echinacea supplement daily for 5 days following viral exposure. Among the 103 subjects taking a placebo, 88 developed a cold, whereas 44 of the 48 subjects taking echinacea 1 developed a cold.arrow_forward
- Sleep apnea is a disorder characterized by pauses in breathing during sleep. Children who suffer from untreated sleep apnea often have behavior problems, including hyperactivity, inattention, and aggression. A common treatment for pediatric sleep apnea is the surgical removal of enlarged tonsils and adenoids that are obstructing the airways. Suppose researchers at a sleep clinic are interested in the effect of surgical treatment for pediatric sleep apnea on aggressive behavior. They study 11 children without sleep apnea, 11 children with untreated sleep apnea, and 11 children who have been surgically treated for sleep apnea. Aggression is measured using the Conners Rating Scales. The sample means and sums of squares of the scores for each of the three groups are presented in the following table.

In order to study this topic, the researcher gains access to a population of individuals diagnosed with depression and administers surveys to a random subset of that population. To assess the relationship between therapy type and depression symptoms, the survey asks participants what their current treatment plan involves (drug therapy, psychotherapy, both drug and psychotherapy, or no therapy) and what their current depression symptoms include.

Prevention is particularly important for high-risk populations. The Second European Stroke Prevention Study asked whether daily doses of an anti-blood- clotting agent, such as aspirin or dipyridamole, would help prevent strokes among patients who had just experienced a first stroke. Volunteer patients were randomly assigned to one of four treatment options: placebo, aspirin, Dipy., Both drugs. Researchers then recorded the patients who had another stroke and specifically if they died from that second stroke or not. What are the hypotheses to determine if there is there a relationship between treatment and death from second stroke? Ho: Treatment type and death from second stroke are independent from one another.

Benzene is found in air, water, and soil and comes from both industrial and natural sources. Benzene levels in indoor air are generally higher than outdoors. The main source of benzene in indoor air appears to be tobacco smoke, thus the combustion of tobacco is a major source of pollution. Benzene levels are measured in a random sample of 36 bars in a city, obtaining an average benzene level of 19.2 mg / m3, with a standard deviation of 2.1 mg / m3. Estimate the mean benzene level in bars in this city using a 95% confidence interval.

During the period covered by our data there were COVID lockdowns in some areas but not in other areas. These lockdowns closed schools and required all but essential workers to work from home or stay at home and not work if they could not work from home. Our data contains the following variables: hours = a woman’s number of hours of work per week kids = a woman’s number of children living at home lockdown = a dummy variable equal to one if the woman is living in an area under a lockdown order and 0 is she is living in an area not locked down. We consider the model: hours = β0 + β1lockdown + β2kids + β3lockdown∗kids + u Which of the following measures the effect of the number of children on hours of work for women living in areas that were locked down? a) β0 b) β2 c) β2 + β3 d) β3 e) none of the other possible answers are correctarrow_forward
- Chocolate contains caffeine and an endogenous cannabinoid, as well as a chemical thatmodulates serotonin production; but is it an aphrodisiac, as the Mayans and Aztecs believed?Suppose you conduct a study which measures sex drive in a group of 20 women, after eating 8ounces of chocolate. Given that you have available data from the Kinsey Institute (IndianaUniversity) about the general sex drive for women of the same demographic as in your study, youdecide to compare your group to this population estimate.If testing hypotheses about the effects of chocolate on sex drive, it would be most appropriate tocalculate a ...1)Paired sampled t2)Z-test3)Independent-samples t-test 4)One- sample t-testarrow_forwardTrematodes of the species Euhaplorchis californiensis may infect the California kill fish, Fundulus parvipinnis. Researchers have observed that infected fish spend excessive time near the water surface, where they may be more vulnerable to bird predation. Researchers set up an experiment in a large outdoor tank that stocked with three kinds of killifish, uninfected, lightly infected, and highly infected, and recorded the number of fish that is eaten by birds.

In a study to assess the protective effects of a new agent A against paraquat, 200 rats were randomly assigned to three groups. The first group (treatment I) was administered paraquat; the second group (treatment II) was administered paraquat plus a low dose of agent A; the third group (treatment III) was administered paraquat plus a high dose of agent A. The number of rats that survived more than eight days for each group was recorded and are presented in Table 2 1% level of significance, whether agent A affects the survival rate of paraquat infected rats. a)For the test , how many degrees of freedom does the distribution of the test statistic have?
