drug. After six months, the subjects' symptoms are studied and compared. Answer parts (a) through (c) below.
O B. The experimental units are the symptoms from the drug. The treatment is the new allergy drug.
O C. The experimental unit is the new allergy drug. The treatments are the severe allergies the patients suffer from.
O D. The experimental units are the 30- to 35-year-old females being given the treatment. The treatment is the new allergy drug.
(b) Identify a potential problem with the experiment design being used and suggest a way to improve it. Choose the correct answer below.
O A. There may be a bias on the part of the patients since they do not know if…
Determine whether the study is an experiment or an observational study, and then identify a major problem with the study.
A sociologist has created a brief survey to be given to 2000 adults randomly selected from the U.S. population. Here are her first two questions: (1) Have you ever been the victim of a felony crime? (2) Have you ever been
convicted of a felony?

- What is an experiment? Give two examples.arrow_forwardDetermine whether the study is an experiment or an observational study, and then identify a major problem with the study. A sociologist has created a brief survey to be given to 2000 adults randomly selected from the U.S. population. Here are her first two questions: (1) Have you ever been the victim of a felony crime? (2) Have you ever been convicted of a felony? This is an observational study because the researcher does not attempt to modify the individuals. What is a major problem with the study? O A. The responses will be voluntary, which will lead to a high chance of bias. O B. The sample includes only U.S. adults. O C. There is no blinding or replication, which has a high chance of leading to bias. O D.

This question was asked by a professional survey group on behalf of the National Arts Survey. A random sample of 95 single men showed that 24% went out dancing occasionally. Another random sample of 92 single women showed that 21% went out dancing occasionally. Is the proportion of single men who go out dancing occasionally higher than the proportion of single women? Use a 5% level of significance. If men are group 1 and women are group 2, what is the p-value for this hypothesis test? 0.656 0.688 0.344 0.217 0.242arrow_forward

- You collect data on number of hours spent studying, on average, throughout the Fall 2019 semester for all Stonehill students. You have a colleague at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, MA who collects the same data at Holy Cross. You want to compare the average number of hours spent studying during the Fall 2019 semester for male students at Stonehill, female students at Stonehill, male students at Holy Cross and female students at Holy Cross. Which statistical test would you use to compare the students at Stonehill and Holy Cross to look for significant differences in study time? a. one sample t test b. two sample t test c. repeated measures t test d. ANOVAarrow_forwardA guidance counselor selected random samples of 25 ninth graders, 25 tenth graders, 25 eleventh graders, and 25 twelfth graders from her large high school. She asked each student whether they have a job. The results are displayed in the table. She decides to test these hypotheses: H0: There is no difference in the distribution of job status for all 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th graders at this high school.Ha: There is a difference in the distribution of job status for all 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th graders at this high school. The conditions for inference are met. The chi-square test statistic is χ‑2 = 22.21. What conclusion should be made? Use α = 0.05. Find the chi-square table here. Because the P-value is less than α = 0.05, there is convincing evidence of a difference in the distribution of job status for all 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th graders at this high school. Because the P-value is less than α = 0.05, there is not convincing evidence of a difference in the distribution of job…arrow_forwardNext Question A researcher was once criticized for falsifying data.
