Calcium and Blood Pressure Does increasing the amount of calcium in our diet reduce blood
pressure? Examination of a large sample of people revealed a relationship between calcium intake
and blood pressure. Such observational studies do not establish causation. Researchers therefore
designed a randomized comparative experiment.
The subjects were 21 healthy men who volunteered to take part in the experiment. They were
randomly assigned to two groups: 10 of the men received a calcium supplement for 12 weeks,
while the control group of 11 men received a placebo pill that looked identical. The experiment
was double-blind. The response variable is the decrease in systolic (top number) blood pressure
for a subject after 12 weeks, in millimeters of mercury. An increase appears as a negative number.
Do the data provide convincing evidence that a calcium supplement reduces blood pressure more
than a placebo, on average, for subjects like the ones in this study?

Study Purpose: The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to compare a nurse
practitioner lead intervention to standard prescription of controlled-release
oxycodone for patients who had undergone cesarean section. Participants were
followed to explore their experience of pain and how pain impacts maternal health
over three months.
Post-intervention pain scores were measured using a pain scale ranging from 0 (no
pain) to 10 (maximum pain). The results for this study are summarized in the table
below.

1. What is the treatment effect for the primary outcome (pain)?
2. Provide a written interpretation of the change scores and treatment effect.

- Consider an experiment to determine the effects of alcohol and marijuana on driving. Five randomly selected subjects are given alcohol to produce legal drunkenness and then are given a simulated driving test (scored from a top score of 10 to a bottom score of 0). Five different randomly selected subjects are given marijuana and then the same driving test. Finally, a control group of five subjects is tested for driving while sober. The driving test scores and the One-Way ANOVA table for these data are shown below. Test the hypothesis that there is a difference among the means of the three groups at 1% significance level.

In a driver distraction study of 1,876 randomly selected students, the accident rate for students who texted while driving was higher than 7%. This difference was statistically significant at the 0.05 level. Which of the following best describes how we should interpret these results? Because of the large size of the sample, these results are strong evidence that texting accounts for a much larger proportion of accidents in the population of student drivers. With a large sample, statistically significant results suggest a large increase in the accident rate for the texting group over the control group. With a large sample, statistically significant results may actually be only a small improvement over the control group (depending on the size of the increase in percentages). Regardless of the sample size, a statistically significant result means there is a meaningful…arrow_forward

(Source: Schonenberg et al., 2017) Methods: We did a concurrent, triple-blind, randomized, controlled trial using adults with ADHD, aged 18 to 60 years. Participants were randomly assigned to three groups: a neurofeedback group which received 30 true neurofeedback sessions over 15 weeks, a sham neurofeedback group which received 15 sham (fake) followed by 15 true neurofeedback sessions, or a meta-cognitive group therapy group which received 12 sessions over 12 weeks. The primary outcome was symptom score on the Conners' adult ADHD rating scale, assessed before treatment, at mid-treatment 98 weeks), after treatment (after 16 weeks), and 6 months later. Results: Self-reported ADHD symptoms decreased substantially for all treatment groups between per-treatment and the end of the 6 month follow-up, independent of treatment condition.
