Which non-parametric test for ordinal data is the best to use in the given scenario?
In a study by Zuckerman and Heneghan, hemodynamic stresses were measured on subjects undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. An outcome variable of interest was the ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) measured in mm. A portion of the data appears in the following table. Baseline refers to a measurement taken 5 minutes after induction of anesthesia, and the term '5 minutes' refers to a measurement taken 5 minutes after baseline. Can we conclude that, on the basis of these data, among subjects undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the average LVEDV levels change? Let a =.01.

An experiment was conducted to compare the strengths of two types of elastic bandages: one a standard bandage of a specified weight and the other the same standard but treated with a chemical substance. Ten pieces of each were randomly selected from production. Does the treated bandage tend to be stronger than the standard?

Starfish coildots is a disease affecting approximately 40 different species of sea stars and several other echinoderms. A sample of 240 ochre starfish and 155 sunflower starfish found that 97 ochre starfish and 54 sunflower starfish showed signs of infection.
Is there evidence to suggest that the difference in the proportion of infected ochre starfish is greater than the proportion of infected sunflower starfish?
(a) Define the parameter(s) of interest using the correct notation. Then, state the null and alternative hypotheses for this study.
(b) Calculate the observed test statistic and state the distribution it follows (including degrees of freedom, if needed).
(c) Give the p-value, or a range of appropriate values for the p-value.
(d) Using the significance level α = 0.10, state your conclusions regarding the proportion of infected starfish in a plain English sentence.

- Dr. Rancur believes that working memory errors (M) will increase linearly with increases in level of cognitive load (CL). He randomly assigns 10 subjects to each of four cognitive load levels: 1, 3, 5 and 7 and assesses subjects’ memory performance. The results of his study are exhaustively summarized below. Using the summary information, carry out an analysis to determine if M is related to CL in the way Dr. Rancur predicts. Make sure you estimate the magnitude of the association, and construct a confidence interval as appropriate. In a summary sentence or two, evaluate the evidence for or against Dr. Rancur’s prediction.arrow_forwardThe quadratic model for the given data is wrong.arrow_forwardPrehistoric pottery vessels are usually found as sherds (broken pieces) and are carefully reconstructed if enough sherds can be found.
