The type of study for the given example.
Answer to Problem 9.19CYS
Option (a): an observational study.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for the correct answer:
The study is about ‘victimization during adolescence has an impact on depression in early adulthood or not’. The researcher has examined 3,898 participants and collected information about the victimization of peers at the age 13 and depression at the age 18. It can be observed that only the peers were observed and measured and no modifications were done for individuals during the study. This implies that the study is observational.
Reason for the incorrect answers:
Option (b): The study is not the randomized comparative experiment as the subjects are not divided into groups for assigning the treatments randomly to the subjects.
Option (c): The study is not matched pairs experiment as on the same subjects, two types of treatments are not compared with each other.
Conclusion:
Thus, the study ‘victimization during adolescence has impact on depression in early adulthood or not’ is an observational study.
Introduction:
Observational study:
If the individuals under the study are just observed and measured based on certain characteristics without modifying them, then the study is termed as observational study.
Randomized comparative experiment:
In a randomized comparative experiment, similar groups of the subjects are formed. In this experiment, the subjects are randomly assigned to two or more treatments for comparison purpose.
Matched pairs experiment:
In matched pair design, two treatments are assigned randomly to the same subject that is each subject receives two types of treatments and are compared for the effect of the treatment. It is the experiment which is used for comparing two treatments using blocking factor.

(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_forward
- We 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_forwardNegate the following compound statement using De Morgans's laws.arrow_forwardNegate the following compound statement using De Morgans's laws.arrow_forward
