Effect of Blinding Among 13,200 submitted abstracts that were blindly evaluated (with authors and institutions not identified), 26.7% were accepted for publication. Among 13,433 abstracts that were not blindly evaluated, 29.0% were accepted (based on data from “Effect of Blinded Peer Review on Abstract Acceptance,” by Ross, et al., Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 295, No. 14). Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the acceptance rate is the same with or without blinding. How might the results be explained?

- What is meant by the sample space of an experiment?arrow_forwardWhat is an experiment?arrow_forwardConsider a drug that is used to help prevent blood clots in certain patients. In clinical trials, among 6107 patients treated with this drug, 158 developed the adverse reaction of nausea. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that 3% of users develop nausea. Does nausea appear to be a problematic reaction?arrow_forward
- Consider a drug that is used to help prevent blood clots in certain patients. In clinical trials, among 6130 patients treated with this drug, 160 developed the adverse reaction of nausea. Use a 0.10 significance level to test the claim that 33% of users develop nausea. Does nausea appear to be a problematic adverse reaction?arrow_forwardWhich of these sounds like a situation where you would want to use an Independent-Measures ANOVA? A) Comparing the health of students at a campus with a Student Health Center vs. students at a campus without a Student Health Center B) Comparing the technological ability of a group of children when they are 10 years old vs. when they reach 15 years old vs. when they reach 20 years old C) Comparing the pain levels of people with an anti-arthritis drug vs. the pain levels of the general population of all arthritis patients D) Comparing the technological ability of three groups: people born in the years 2000, 2005 and 2010arrow_forwardWhat is the P value?arrow_forward
- The respiratory disturbance index (RDI), which is the number of apneic and hypopneic episodes per hour of sleep, was used as a measure of severity of sleep apnea. An RDI of 5 or more indicates sleep-related breathing disturbances. The RDIs for the females and males samples in a study in US are as follows. At the 1% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the female patients are less suffer than male from the apnea disease?arrow_forwardReport an appropriate hypothesis test and use a 5% significance level. The alternative hypothesis for the One-way Anova F-test would be Group of answer choices Ha: Density affects firing temperature. Ha: Firing temperature affects density. Ha: Firing temperature does not affect density. Ha: Density does not affect firing temperature.arrow_forwardIn a study of 420,091 cell phone users, 111 subjects developed cancer of the brain or nervous system. Test the claim of a somewhat common belief that such cancers are affected by cell phone use. That is, test the claim that cell phone users develop cancer of the brain or nervous system at a rate that is different from the rate of 0.0340% for people who do not use cell phones. Because this issue has such great importance, use a 0.001 significance level. Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value, conclusion about the null hypothesis, and final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Use the P-value method and the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution. Which of the following is the hypothesis test to be conducted?arrow_forward
