In each of Exercises C.119–C.125, we have presented a study conducted using randomized block ANOVA and have displayed corresponding computer output that contains a randomized block ANOVA table, marginal means, and interaction plots. For each exercise, use Procedure C.4 on page C-71 to perform a randomized block ANOVA at the 5% individual significance level. (Note: Assume that it is reasonable to consider the assumptions for performing a randomized block ANOVA met in each case.)
C.119 Cholesterol Testing. A large health care organization uses three laboratories for the routine analysis of blood samples. It is important that the three labs provide equivalent test results. To check that, blood samples are obtained from 10 randomly selected individuals; each blood sample is then divided into three blood subsamples of equal volume; and then the three blood subsamples from each person are sent to different labs. For this problem, the analysis is confined to assessing the measurement of the total cholesterol level for a person. The data are in the following table. We performed a randomized block ANOVA on the data. Output C.34 on page C-82 shows the resulting computer output and also supplies a table of marginal means. Output C.35 on page C-82 shows the interaction plots.

Childhood participation in sports, cultural groups, and youth groups appears to be related to improved self-esteem for adolescents (McGee, Williams, Howden-Chapman, Martin & Kawachi, 2006) in a representative study, a researcher compares scores on a standardized self-esteem questionnaire for a sample of n = 100 adolescents with a history of group participation and a separate sample of n = 100 who have no history of group participation.arrow_forward
- The data in table is from a randomized block design represent blood pressure measurements from an experiment involving 4 age groups, each with 3 persons. The 3 persons within each age group were randomly assigned to drugs, A, B and C with one person per drug. This was done to keep the drug assignments balanced within age groups. Comparing the three drugs in manner that provides balance for or control for possible age effects. Consider the data given in table below and compute; a. Mean Square Due to Treatments (MSTR) b.

Data on date of occurrence, age and sex of the child, and type of agent involved were recorded and analyzed by standard statistical methods. Poisoning was due to ingestion of aspirin in 35 per cent of the children studied and to the ingestion of hydrocarbon distillates in 18 per cent. A statistically significant male dominance was found for ingestion of hydrocarbons; age-specific peaks were found for some categories. Trends as to the relative and absolute frequencies of each specific poison from one year to the next were noted; possible reasons for increasing or decreasing trends are discussed. Is this study descriptive or inferential? Explain your answer. What are the variables used in the study? In your opinion, what level of measurement was used to obtain the data from the variables?

- According to a report on sleep deprivation by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the proportion of California residents who reported insufficient rest or sleep during each of the preceding 30 days is 8.0%, while this proportion is 8.8% for Oregon residents. These data are based on simple random samples of 11,545 California and 4,691 Oregon residents. In order to use this information in Rguroo, we need to pull out the relevant information. Complete the following table so that you can use it in Rguroo for the next several questions. This table organizes the two populations by state. Use column 1 for California and column 2 for Oregon. Enter all numbers as whole numbers. Population 1: CA Population 2: OR Number of Successes (Hint: multiply the sample size by the percent for that state and divide XCA = XOR = by 100.

- Zelazo et al. (1972) studied the variability in age at first walking in infants. 24 infants were randomly assigned to four groups of equal sample size (6 infants per group), with groups defined by method of reinforcement of walking: (1) active (2) passive (3) no exercise; and (4) 8 week control. The outcome variable measured was age at first walking, in months. The following table lists the study data, by group.

Each sample was split into two subsamples and the two types of analysis were applied, with the accompanying results.

She believes that contact with a person who struggles with mental health will improve individuals’ attitudes. To test her hypothesis, she measured attitudes toward mental health in a random sample of college students before and after they have contact with an individual diagnosed as clinically depressed. The results (displayed as SPSS output – a statistical software package) are as follows: 1. Why is the paired samples t test appropriate for this study? 2. Study the table and comment on whether or not there is a significant treatment effect. In other words, did contact with an individual diagnosed with depression improve attitudes toward the mental health?
