1. State whether it will experimental or observational 2. If observational, identify which type specifically (retrospective cohort, prospective cohort, case-control, cross-sectional, ecological) 3. Briefly explain how you can tell what type of study it is. We select a group of 1,000 middle-aged volunteers without kidney disease who are likely to suffer from insomnia/anxiety. We assign them randomly into two groups. Group 1 is told to live their lives as normal and take any meds proscribed by their doctor. Group 2 is told not to use BZDs for 2 years, and doctors prescribe Group 2 with natural alternatives to BZDs. After those 2 years, we follow them up and check to see who developed kidney disease in each group and compare the groups.

3. One of the most feared predators is the great white shark, which can grow to a mean length of 21 feet. A marine biologist believes that the great white sharks off the coast of Bermuda g•ow much longer owing to unusual feeding habits. To test this claim, some adult great white sharks are captured, measured, and then released from off the Bermuda coast. However, because the capture is difficult, costly and dangerous, only three specimens were sampled, having lengths of 20, 22, and 24 feet.a. Do the data provide sufficient evidence to support the marine biologist's claim at the 10% significance level?b. Give the approximate observed significance level for the test in part a (the p-value) and interpret its meaning.c. What assumptions must be made in order to carry out this test? Do you think that these assumptions are likely to be satisfied in this sampling situation? Why or why not? 1. State the type of test that is needed for the question 2. State the Null and lternative…
