Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 48E
Contrast baths Contrast bath treatments use the immersion of an injured limb alternately in water of two contrasting temperatures. Those who use the method claim that it can reduce swelling. Researchers compared three treatments: (1) contrast baths and exercise, (2) contrast baths alone, and (3) exercise alone. (R. G. Janssen, D. A. Schwartz, and P. F. Velleman, “A Randomized Controlled Study of Contrast Baths on Patients with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome,” Journal of Hand Therapy, 2009) They report the following boxplots comparing the change in hand volume after treatment:
- a) The researchers conclude that the differences were not statistically significant. Explain what that means in context.
- b) The title says that the study was randomized and controlled. Explain what that probably means for this study.
- c) The study did not use a placebo treatment. What was done instead? Do you think that was an appropriate choice? Explain.

- Prices of diamonds are very sensitive to their weight (measured in carat). For example, the price of a 1 carat diamond tends to be much higher than the price of a 0.99 carats diamond. To study this phenomenon in more detail, we consider two random samples of diamonds, 0.99 carats and 1 carat, each sample of size 23. The average price of 0.99 carats diamonds in the sample is $4451, while the average price of 1 carat diamonds in the sample is $5681. From long-term studies, we know that both the prices of 0.99 carats diamonds and the prices of 1 carat diamonds are normally distributed with standard deviations oj = $1332 (0.99 carats) and o2 = $1613 (1 carat), respectively. (a) Carry out a hypothesis test at significance level 0.01 to evaluate whether the true average price µi of 0.99 carats diamonds is lower than the true average price µ2 of 1 carat diamonds. Specify Ho and Ha, the test statistic, and calculate the p-value or use p-value considerations to conclude.

Experienced athletes were given either a carbohydrate-electrolyte drink or a placebo while they were tested on a series of high-intensity exercises. One measure was how much time it took for the athletes to run to fatigue. Data similar to the results obtained in the study are shown in the following table: 8.3 Time to run to fatigue (in minutes) Group Mean SE (standard error) Placebo 21.7 2.2 Carbohydrate-electrolyte 28.6 2.7 Construct a bar graph that incorporates all of the information in the table.

Addicts need cocaine to feel any pleasure, so perhaps giving them an antidepressant drug will help. An experiment assigned chronic cocaine users to take either an antidepressant drug called desipramine, lithium, or a placebo. Lithium is a standard drug to treat cocaine addiction. A placebo is a dummy drug, used so that the effect of being in the study but not taking any drug can be seen. Here are the results after three years.

- To illustrate the effects of driving under the influence of alcohol, a police officer brought a DUI simulator to a high school. Student reaction time in an emergency was measured with unimpaired vision and also while wearing special goggles to simulate the effect of alcohol on vision with the following results: Normal: 4.47, 4.24, 4.58, 4.65, 4.31, 4.8, 4.55, 5, 4.79 Impaired: 5.77, 5.67, 5.51, 5.32, 5.83, 5.49, 5.23, 5.61, 5.63 Is there evidence to suggest that there is a difference at alpha = 0.05level of significance.arrow_forwardStep 9 (b) Use Fisher's LSD procedure to test whether there is a significant difference between the means for treatments A and B, treatments A and C, and treatments B and C. Use α = 0.05. A hypothesis test for the population of treatment means can lead to the conclusion that not all the population means are equal, but it does not indicate which population means may differ. Fisher's least significant difference, LSD, procedure can be used to pinpoint where these differences occur. The test statistic will be calculated as the absolute value of the difference between two sample means, x₁ - x;. This test statistic will be compared to the value of LSD, the formula of which is given below. The variable t/2 is based on a t distribution with n, - k degrees of freedom with a significance level of a, MSE is the mean square error, n, is the number of observations for population i, and n, is the number of observations for population j. / MSE (171, + 121,) LSD = ta/2V A significance level of a =…arrow_forwardIn certain food experiment to compare two types of baby foods A and B, the following results of increase in weight (lbs) we observed in 8 children as follows.arrow_forward
