Statistics Question
Do sports drinks help prevent cramps in endurance sports? At the end of a marathon, officials will ask runners if they drank water or a sports drink during the race, along with whether or not they suffered any cramps. Is this an observational study or experiment?
One-way ANOVA tests were performed to examine the effect of sleep deprivation
(24, 36, 48 hours) on appetite (Study 1) and memory (Study 2). The SS between was
larger in Study 1 than in Study 2. The SS total was smaller in Study 1 than in Study 2.
Using n², in which study will the effect size be larger?
Study 1
Study 2

- 6. Binge-watching a television show might not be the best way to enjoy a television series (Horvath et al., 2017). Participants in an experiment were in a group that either watched an entire tv series during daily one-hour sessions or watched all the episodes during a single binge session. Participants were asked to rate their enjoyment of the t.v. series on a scale of 0-100. Data like those observed by the author are listed below: Binge-watched 87 Daily-watched 84 71 100 73 87 86 97 78 92 a. Is there a difference in the level of enjoyment based on whether the series was binge-watched or watched on a daily basis? Use a two-tailed test at the a = 0.05 level of significance? b.

One surprising factor might be the material of the plate on which our food is served. Williamson, Block, and Keller (2016) gave participants two donuts each and measured the amount of food that was wasted by each participant. In an independent-samples design, participants received their donuts either on a disposable paper plate or on a reusable plastic plate. Data like those observed by the authors are listed below. Paper Plate (Grams of Wasted Food) Plastic Plate (Grams of Wasted Food) 37 34 35 31 34 36 36 30 40 34 34 33 33 37 39 29 Test the hypothesis that participants who received donuts on a paper plate wasted more food than participants who were served donuts on a plastic, reusable plate. Use , two-tailed. Construct a 95% confidence interval to estimate the size of the mean difference. Write the results as they would appear in a scientific journal article.arrow_forward1) Soda consumption is very common in the U.S. For the purposes of this question, assume that 30% of the population consumes the equivalent of 3 or more 12 oz. sodas per week (this is the prevalence of the exposure). A large multi-center cohort study was conducted to evaluate the association between soda consumption and risk of diabetes. At baseline, participants were asked about their typical soda consumption, and individuals who reported consuming 3 or more sodas per week were considered exposed. Participants were followed for 10 years, and the following results were obtained: Incident Cases of Diabetes 356 236 Person-Years Contributed 3+ sodas a week 375234 <3 sodas a week 399763 a) Name the appropriate measure of association corresponding to the excess rate of diabetes attributable to soda consumption among subjects who consume 3+ sodas per week.

- state whether the investigation in question is an observational study or a designed experiment. Justify your answer in each case. Do Left-Handers Die Earlier? According to a study published in the Journal of the American Public Health Association,lefthanded people do not die at an earlier age than right-handed people, contrary to the conclusion of a highly publicized report done 2 years earlier. The investigation involved a 6-year study of 3800 people in East Boston older than age 65.Researchers at Harvard University and the National Institute of Aging found that the “lefties” and “righties” died at exactly the same rate. “There was no difference, period,” said Dr. J. Guralnik, an epidemiologist at the institute and one of the coauthors of the report.arrow_forwardDoes posting calorie content for menu items affectpeople’s choices in fast-food restaurants? According to results obtained by Elbel, Gyamfi, and Kersh(2011), the answer is no. The researchers monitoredthe calorie content of food purchases for children andadolescents in four large fast-food chains before andafter mandatory labeling began in New York City. Although most of the adolescents reported noticing thecalorie labels, apparently the labels had no effect ontheir choices. Data similar to the results obtained showan average of M = 786 calories per meal with s =85 for n =100 children and adolescents before thelabeling, compared to an average of M = 772 calorieswith s = 91 for a similar sample of n = 100 after themandatory posting.a. Use a two-tailed test with a = .05 to determinewhether the mean number of calories after theposting is significantly different than before caloriecontent was posted.b. Calculate r2to measure effect size for the mean difference.arrow_forwardA researcher collects data from a sample of children with Crohn's disease and then compares that data to data collected from a sample of children without the disease.
