Chapter 11, Problem 14P

Researchers have noted a decline in cognitive functioning as people age (Bartus, 1990). However, she results front other research suggest that the antioxidants in foods such as blueberries may reduce and even reverse these age related declines (Joseph et al., 1999). To examine this phenomenon, suppose that a researcher obtains a sample of n = 16 adults who are between the ages of 65 and 75. The researcher uses a standardized test to measure cognitive performance for each individual. The participants then begin a 2-month program in which they receive daily doses of a blueberry supplement. At the end of the 2-month period the researcher again measures cognitive performance for each participant. The results show an average increase in performance of MD= 7.4 with SS = 1215.

a. Does this result support the conclusion that the antioxidant supplement has a significant effect on cognitive performance? Use a two-tailed test with α = .05.

b. Construct a 95% confidence interval to estimate the average cognitive performance improvement for the population of older adults.

You’re fed up with keeping Fido locked inside, so you conduct a mail survey to find out people’s opinions on the new dog barking ordinance in a certain city. Of the 10,000 people who receive surveys, 1,000 respond, and only 80 are in favor of it. You calculate the margin of error to be 1.2 percent. Explain why this reported margin of error is misleading.
