For each of the following scenarios, what are two names for the ANOVA that would be conducted to analyze the data?
A researcher examined the effect of gender and pet ownership (no pets, one pet, more than one pet) on a measure of loneliness.
In a study on memory, participants completed a memory task once each week for 4 weeks—twice after sleeping 8 hours and twice after sleeping 4 hours. In each sleep condition, the participants completed the task after ingesting a caffeinated beverage and again, on another day, after ingesting a “placebo” beverage that they were told contained caffeine.
A study examined the impact of students’ Instagram profiles on numbers of Instagram friends. The researchers were interested in the effect of (1) the profile photo—either an identifiable photo of the student or a photo of someone or something else (e.g., a dog)—and (2) bio length—either short (fewer than 75 characters) or long (75 characters or more).
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?
Oishi & Shigehiro (2010) report that people who move from home to home
frequently as children tend to have lower than average levels of well-being as adults.
To further examine this relationship, a psychologist obtains a sample of n = 12 young
adults who each experienced 5 or more different homes before they were 16 years
old. These participants were given a standardized well-being questionnaire for which
the general population has an average score of µ = 40. The well-being scores for this
sample are as follows: 23, 37, 41, 35, 43, 37, 33, 34, 36, 38, 31, 38. On the basis of
this sample, is well-being for frequent movers significantly different from
the well-being of the general population? Test with alpha a = .05. Is this a one-

tailed or two-tailed test?

Is this association more pronounced in children with cystic fibrosis? To answer this question, 43 children (18 girls and 25 boys) attending a 2-week summer camp for cystic fibrosis patients were studied (New England Journal of Medicine, Sept. 20, 1990). Among several variables measured were the child's weight percentile (y) and the number of cigarettes smoked per day in the child's home (x). a.

A study compared the effectiveness of three acne treatments and a placebo, all in gel form, applied twice daily for 12 weeks. The study's 517 teenage volunteers were randomly assigned to one of the four treatments. Success was assessed as clear or almost clear skin at the end of the 12 week period. The results of the study can be seen in the table below. Using the appropriate statistical test, determine if there is significant evidence that the four treatments perform differently. If so, how do they compare.arrow_forward

- A new approach to prenatal care is proposed for pregnant women living in a rural community. The new program involves in-home visits during the course of pregnancy in addition to the usual or regularly scheduled visits. A pilot randomized trial with 15 pregnant women is designed to evaluate whether women who participate in the program deliver healthier babies than women receiving usual care. The outcome is the APGAR score measured 5 minutes after birth. Recall that APGAR scores range from O to 10 with scores of 7 or higher considered normal (healthy), 4-6 low, and 0-3 critically low. Is there statistical evidence of a difference in APGAR scores in women receiving the new and enhanced versus usual prenatal care? The most suitable statistical test to answer this research objective is a. Chi-Square Test b. Mann-Whitney U Test c. Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test d. Kruskal-Wallis Testarrow_forwardConsider an experiment to determine the effects of alcohol and marijuana on driving. Five randomly selected subjects are given alcohol to produce legal drunkenness and then are given a simulated driving test (scored from a top score of 10 to a bottom score of 0).

- What causes us to overeat? 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.

Patients operated on in the morning have shorter fasts than those operated on in the afternoon. A test is conducted to determine whether there is any evidence of a different mean stomach pH level for afternoon patients compared with morning patients. Let µA be the average pH level for the afternoon patients and µM be the average pH level for the morning patients. The following pair of hypotheses is used for the test: H0: µA - µM = 0 vs. Ha: µA - µM ≠ 0. From sample data, a P-value of 0.057 is calculated for the test. Using α (alpha) = 0.05, what are the decision and conclusion from the test? Select one: a.Do not reject Ha; conclude that there is insufficient evidence at α = 0.05 that mean stomach pH is the same in morning and afternoon patients. b.Do not reject H0; conclude that there is insufficient evidence at α = 0.05 that mean stomach pH is different in morning and afternoon…arrow_forward
