Chapter 2.8, Problem 19E
A research specialist for a large seafood company plans to investigate bacterial growth on oysters and mussels subjected to three different storage temperatures. Nine cold-storage units are available. She plans to use three storage units for each of the three temperatures. One package of oysters and one package of mussels will be stored in each of the storage units for 2 weeks. At the end of the storage period, the packages will be removed and the bacterial count made for two samples from each package. The treatment factors of interest are temperature (levels: 0, 5, 10°C) and seafood (levels: oysters, mussels). She will also record the bacterial count for each package prior to placing seafood in the cooler. Identify each of the following components of the experimental design.
- a. Factors
- b. Factor levels
- c. Blocks
- d. Experimental unit
- e. Measurement unit
- f. Replications
- g. Treatments

- A researcher for a cereal company wanted to demonstrate the health benefits of eating oatmeal. A sample of 9 volunteers was obtained each participant ate a fixed diet without any oatmeal for 30 days. At the end of the 30 days period cholesterol was measured for each individual. Then the participants begin a second 30 day period in which they repeated exactly the same diet except that they added 2 cups of oatmeal each day. After the second 30 day period, cholesterol levels were measured again and the researchers recorded the difference between the two scores for each participant. For this sample, cholesterol score averaged Md= 16 points lower with the oatmeal diet with SS=538 for the difference scores. A) Are the data sufficient to indicate a significant change in cholesterol levels? use a two-tail test with alpha=0.01arrow_forwardThe quality control engineer at Palmer Industries is interested in estimating the tensile strength of steel wire based on its outside diameter and the amount of molybdenum in the steel. As an experiment, she selected 25 pieces of wire, measured the outside diameters, and determined the molybdenum content. Then she measured the tensile strength of each piece. The results of the first four are recorded in the table.

A researcher plans to survey 5 rural hospitals and calculate the difference in sample proportions between male births and female births. At each hospital, the researcher will record the percentage of male births and the percentage of female births. Assume each hospital has about 100 births per year. We define the difference in sample proportions as “male” minus “female.” The standard error is about 0.07. Which sequence of sample differences is the most likely? 0.12, 0, -0.25, -0.08, 0.23 0.017, 0.039, -0.010, -0.081, -0.005 -0.016, -0.016, 0, -0.016, -0.016arrow_forwardA florist wants to determine if a new additive would extend the life of cut flowers longer than the original additive. The florist randomly selects 20 carnations from the ones recently delivered by the greenhouse and places the first 10 in water with the new additive and remaining 10 in water with the original additive. After three weeks, 6 carnations placed in the new additive still looked healthy and 2 carnations placed in the original additive still looked healthy. The proportion of healthy carnations with the new additive was significantly greater than the proportion of healthy carnations with the original additive. Which of the following is a valid conclusion? Conclusions about cause and effect for the additives can be made, because the florist randomly selected the 20 carnations; additionally, inferences can be made about the population of carnations at the greenhouse.

- Due to stress, many patients who undergo major elective surgery experience an increase in blood pressure before their scheduled operations. The ABC hospital has started a new yoga program intended to reduce stress and blood pressure. A random sample of 50 patients who know they must undergo a major elective surgery was enrolled in this program. The systolic blood pressure of each patient was measured prior to starting the yoga program. At the end of the yoga program, the systolic blood pressure of each patient was measured again. Question: What statistical test can be used to test if the yoga program is effective in reducing blood pressure?(choose one answer): The t-test for two independent samples C. The one-sample test for the binomial proportion The F-test for the equality of two variances The paired t-testarrow_forwardA study conducted at the University of Denver investigated whether babies take longer to learn to crawl in cold months, when they are often bundled in clothes that restrict their movement, than in warmer months. Infants born during the study year were split into twelve groups, one for each birth month.

Each product was used in 6 pools, and there was a total of 18 pools in the experiment. The same amount of chlorine was added to each pool (A, B, or C) and the conditions such as pool size, temperature, sun exposure etc. were similar. The chlorine levels (%) were measured and recorded after 24 hours of using the products. The percentages in the table below are the percentage of the chlorine added to the pool remaining after this 24 hours. The data is as follows: A 96 56 52 66 70 60 B 44 36 34 50 40 48 с 723227 34 40 20 24 a) Find the overall mean of the chlorine level across all the pools measured, and then find the mean of the chlorine level for each product.arrow_forward
