Chapter 10, Problem 1P
Describe the basic characteristics that define an independent-measures, or a between-subjects, research study.
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
To describe: The basic characteristics that define an independent-measures, or a between-subjects, research study.
Answer to Problem 1P
It uses a separate sample for each of the treatments or populations being compared
Explanation of Solution
An independent measures design is the one in which different participants are used in each condition of the independent variable. Different participants are used for the two groups i.e. every participant is only subjected to a single treatment.
Since independent measure design uses two distinct populations (and population means), hence, each of these have their own sample mean and variances.

Suppose we wish to test the hypothesis that women with a sister’s history of breast cancer are at higher risk of developing breast cancer themselves. Suppose we assume that the prevalence rate of breast cancer is 3% among 60- to 64-year-old U.S. women, whereas it is 5% among women with a sister history. We propose to interview 400 women 40 to 64 years of age with a sister history of the disease. What is the power of such a study assuming that the level of significance is 10%?
I only need help writing the null and alternative hypotheses.
4.96 The breaking strengths for 1-foot-square samples of a particular synthetic fabric are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 2,250 pounds per square inch (psi) and a standard deviation of 10.2 psi. Find the probability of selecting a 1-foot-square sample of material at random that on testing would have a breaking strength in excess of 2,265 psi.4.97 Refer to Exercise 4.96. Suppose that a new synthetic fabric has been developed that may have a different mean breaking strength. A random sample of 15 1-foot sections is obtained, and each section is tested for breaking strength. If we assume that the population standard deviation for the new fabric is identical to that for the old fabric, describe the sampling distribution forybased on random samples of 15 1-foot sections of new fabric
