Recent research indicates that the effectiveness of antidepressant medication is directly related to the severity of the depression (Khan, Brodhead, Kolts & Brown, 2005). Based on pretreatment depression scores, patients were divided into four groups based on their level of depression. After receiving the antidepressant medication, depression scores were measured again and the amount of improvement was recorded for each patient. The following data are similar to the results of the study. F-ratio: Low Moderate p-value: 2.2 3.1 0.6 2.6 0.5 0 High Moderate 1.5 2.1 3.3 2.3 2.1 4.6 Moderately Severe 2.7 4.7 4.7 4.6 3.7 3.3 From this table, conduct ANOVA. Calculate the F-ratio and p-value. Be sure to round your answers to three decimal places. Severe 3.8 2.4 5.3 4.7 4.2 4 What is your final conclusion? Use a significance level of a = 0.02. O There is sufficient evidence that there exists a significant difference between treatments. O There is not enough evidence to determine a difference…
Sulfite is a drug used to treat asthma. In a sample of 400 patients treated at ridge hospital with sulfite, 26% of them said they were quickly relieved. Use this information to answer the following questions: I. What is the variable in the study? ii. What is the population? iii. What is the sample size?
Dr. Guidry conducts a study examining the relationship between the number of friends one has and the experience of daily stress and life satisfaction. She randomly samples 1,500 elderly men and women in Nashville, Tennessee (the state capital), located in the southern United States. Below are her findings.• Life satisfaction and experience of daily stress: r = .57 (p = .01)• Number of friends one has and experience of daily stress: r = .09, not sig.• Number of friends one has and life satisfaction: r = .36 (p = .04) In determining whether the relationship between two of Dr. Guidry’s variables was statistically significant, which of the following must be considered? a. Sample size and number of variables analyzed b. Direction of the association and strength of the association c. Sample size and effect size d. The number of outliers and the direction of the association Answer is C. But why? Why,b,c,d are wrong?
As an admissions counselor, I am interested in understanding whether or not there is a difference in stress levels not only between different majors but also between different classes (Freshman v. Seniors). I gather the following data from students from three majors (Psychology, Chemistry, and Engineering), that are in their freshmen or senior years and ask them about their stress levels (scale of 1-10, with lower numbers meaning less stress). Using the data below, test whether there are effects of class, major, or an interaction between them at an alpha of 0.05. Psychology Chemistry Engineering Freshmen 3, 4, 4, 2, 4 4, 5, 7, 8, 4 5, 7, 7, 8, 5 Senior 4, 5, 5, 3, 5 8, 5, 6, 7, 7 9, 9, 8, 7, 9 Complete the ANOVA summary table below: Source SS df MS (variance) F MAJOR CLASS MAJOR*CLASS ERROR/RESIDUAL Nothing here TOTAL Nothing here Nothing here What can we conclude?…
A researcher would like to know if stress has a negative effect on memory performance. One group of participants was exposed to a stress inducing noise and the second group listened to a calming music. Afterwards, both groups were given a memory test. The researcher compared the average memory test scores of two groups. What is the dependent variable in this experiment? Stress inducing noise. O Stress reducing calming music. O Level of stress (i.e., stress inducing noise or calming music) Memory test performance.
The Economist collects data each year on the price of a Big Mac in various countries around the world. The price of a Big Mac for a sample of McDonalds restaurants in Europe in May 2009 resulted in the following Big Mac prices (after conversion to U.S. dollars):3.80 5.89 4.92 3.88 2.65 5.57 6.39 3.24The mean price of a Big Mac in the U.S. in May 2009 was $3.57. For purposes of this exercise, assume it is reasonable to regard the sample as representative of European McDonalds restaurants. Does the sample provide convincing evidence that the mean May 2009 price of a Big Mac in Europe is greater than the reported U.S. price? Test the relevant hypotheses using a = .05. Assume a normal distribution of the data. x = Ho: μ = Ha: Select an answer α= P-value = |: S= Based on the above we choose Question Help: Post to foru Submit Question (Put in the correct symbol and value) ✓ Select an answer Reject the null hypothesis Fail to reject the null hypothesis
In a pretest, data on Nike were obtained from 45 respondents of Nike users. The data is attached to this assignment.

A researcher conducts an independent-measures study to examine how the brain chemical serotonin is related to aggression. One sample of rats serves as a control group and receives a placebo that does not affect normal levels of serotonin. A second sample of rats, low serotonin group, receives a drug that lowers brain levels of serotonin. Then, the researcher tests the animals by recording the number of aggressive responses each of the rats display. See the data below. Is there a significant difference between the control group and the low serotonin group regarding the number of aggressive responses? Control Low Serotonin n = 10 n = 15 M = 14 M = 19 SS = 180.5 SS = 130 Perform a hypothesis test using independent-measures t-test. Use a two-tailed…

A researcher is interested in examining whether people experience greater traumatic stress after a natural disaster (hurricane) or a man-made tragedy (terrorist attack). The researcher measured the stress of 10 people who experienced a hurricane and 10 people who experienced a terrorist attack. Stress was measured on a scale from 1-5, with higher scores indicating greater stress. Enter their data (see below) into SPSS and answer the following questions. Hurricane Terrorist Attack 3.6 3.0 2.2 3.2 3.6 4.7 2.4 4.7 2.2 4.4 1.0 4.2 1.7 2.0 2.2 3.6 2.7 4.6 1.7 4.4 Run an independent t-test ?
