Chapter 10, Problem 42SE
The critical flicker frequency (cff) is the highest frequency (in cycles/sec) at which a person can detect the flicker in a flickering light source. At frequencies above the cff, the light source appears to be continuous even though it is actually flickering. An investigation carried out to see whether true average cff depends on iris color yielded the following data (based on the article “The Effects of Iris Color on Critical Flicker Frequency,”/ of General Psycli., 1973: 91-95):
| Iris Color | |||
| 1. Brown | 2. Green | 3. Blue | |

Show how the difference in mean estimands can be decomposed into the average treatment effect (ATE).
Difference in mean estimand = E[Yi | Di = 1] - E[Yi | Di =0]
ATE = E[Y1i - Y0i]=E[Ti]
A correlation coefficient should be used when the independent and dependent variable are measured as

A goal was that the difference in recorded blood pressure between the observer and trainer be ≤ 2 mm Hg in absolute value. It was reported that the mean difference in systolic blood pressure (SBP) between observers and trainers (i.e., mean observer SBP minus trainer SBP) = mean (Δ) was 0.189 mm Hg with sd = 2.428 mm Hg. 1.
