Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 79CR
Dentists make many people nervous. To see whether such nervousness elevates blood pressure, the blood pressure and pulse rates of 60 subjects were measured in a dental setting and in a medical setting (“The Effect of the Dental Setting on Blood Pressure Measurement,” American Journal of Public Health [1983]: 1210–1214). For each subject, the difference (dental-setting blood pressure minus medical-setting blood pressure) was calculated. The analogous differences were also calculated for pulse rates. Summary data follow.
- a. Do the data strongly suggest that true mean blood pressure is greater in a dental setting than in a medical setting? Use a level .01 test.
- b. Is there sufficient evidence to indicate that true mean pulse rate in a dental setting differs from the true mean pulse rate in a medical setting? Use a significance level of .05.

To determine whether talking to plants affects their health, a researcher conducts a study in which he talks to one group of five plants and does not talk to the second group of five plants. After two weeks, he records the number of blooms produced by each plant (the dependent measure of their health). The researcher finds that, on average, the five plants he talked to produced 4.3 blooms (SD = 2.2), while the five plants he did not talk to produced 3.2 blooms (SD = 2.0). (a) Perform an independent-samples t-test to determine whether talking to the plants significantly affected their health.
The following are the cystatin C levels (mg/L) for the patients described in Exercise 15 (A-17).Cystatin C is a cationic basic protein that was investigated for its relationship to GFR levels.

- Researchers were interested in how much time balance (i.e., the degree to which you have enough time to do what you like) is related to happiness. They asked 12 adults to answer two questions (on 1 – 8 scales): (a) in a typical week, how much of your time are you able to spend doing the kinds of things that you enjoy (with higher scores indicating more time balance) and (b) taking all things together, how happy would you say you are (with higher scores indicating more happiness)? The research hypothesis is that there is an association between time balance and happiness. Use the Table of Descriptive statistics, correlation (r), the standard error of the correlation (SEr), and the r to zr Table, to go through the steps to compute the 95% CI.
