a)
To find the type of the study.
a)
Answer to Problem 10E
This is an experimental study.
Explanation of Solution
First need to understand about the experimental study and observational study:
Experimental study: Assigning people or things to groups and applying some treatment to one group, while the other group does not receive the treatment.
Observation study: In an observational study, measure or survey members of a sample without trying to affect them.
This is an experimental study because the treatment is imposed on the subjects.
b)
To find the subjects.
b)
Answer to Problem 10E
40 volunteers suffering from insomnia.
Explanation of Solution
In this study, the subjects studied were 40 volunteers who were suffering from insomnia.
c)
To find the factors and number of levels.
c)
Answer to Problem 10E
No-dessert diet with 2 levels and Exercise program with 2 levels.
Explanation of Solution
In this study, the experiment having 2 factors which are No-Dessert diet and Exercise program. Also, there are 2 levels in each factor. Desert level having no desert and normal desert. And exercise having levels as no exercise and an exercise program.
d)
To find the number of treatments.
d)
Answer to Problem 10E
4
Explanation of Solution
In this study, there are 4 treatments.
e)
To find the response variable.
e)
Answer to Problem 10E
The response variable is improvement in ability to sleep.
Explanation of Solution
In this study, the response variable is improvement in ability to sleep
f)
To identify the type experiment.
f)
Answer to Problem 10E
Completely randomized experiment.
Explanation of Solution
The experiment is completely randomized because subjects were randomly assigned to a treatment.
g)
To identify whether the study is blinded or double blinded.
g)
Answer to Problem 10E
The experiment is not blinded.
Explanation of Solution
The experiment is not blinded because the subjects know that the receiving the no-desserts diet or not. Also, they know whether the received the exercise program or not.
h)
To explain the scope and conclusions.
h)
Explanation of Solution
The experiment indicates that the subjects who ate no desserts and engaged in exercise will show the most improvement in their ability to sleep.

- solve the question based on hw 1, 1.41arrow_forwardT1.4: Let ẞ(G) be the minimum size of a vertex cover, a(G) be the maximum size of an independent set and m(G) = |E(G)|. (i) Prove that if G is triangle free (no induced K3) then m(G) ≤ a(G)B(G). Hints - The neighborhood of a vertex in a triangle free graph must be independent; all edges have at least one end in a vertex cover. (ii) Show that all graphs of order n ≥ 3 and size m> [n2/4] contain a triangle. Hints - you may need to use either elementary calculus or the arithmetic-geometric mean inequality.arrow_forwardWe consider the one-period model studied in class as an example. Namely, we assumethat the current stock price is S0 = 10. At time T, the stock has either moved up toSt = 12 (with probability p = 0.6) or down towards St = 8 (with probability 1−p = 0.4).We consider a call option on this stock with maturity T and strike price K = 10. Theinterest rate on the money market is zero.As in class, we assume that you, as a customer, are willing to buy the call option on100 shares of stock for $120. The investor, who sold you the option, can adopt one of thefollowing strategies: Strategy 1: (seen in class) Buy 50 shares of stock and borrow $380. Strategy 2: Buy 55 shares of stock and borrow $430. Strategy 3: Buy 60 shares of stock and borrow $480. Strategy 4: Buy 40 shares of stock and borrow $280.(a) For each of strategies 2-4, describe the value of the investor’s portfolio at time 0,and at time T for each possible movement of the stock.(b) For each of strategies 2-4, does the investor have…arrow_forward
