A health scientist is testing the effectiveness of three different diets (Diet A, Diet B, and Diet C).  To determine diet effectiveness, a group of 72 participants were weighed and then randomly assigned to adhere to one of the three diets for a month (N = 24 for each group). At the end of the month, each participant was weighed again and the amount of weight lost was calculated in kilograms (kg). Using the variables “Diet” and “Weight Loss kg”, conduct a One-Way, Between Subjects, ANOVA, at α = 0.05, AND conduct Tukey's Post Hoc testing to find out which of the three diets was most effective. Identify the correct symbolic notation for the alternative hypothesis.

15 wheelchair users were randomly assigned to three groups with 5 in each group. These participants navigated in virtual-reality settings. Group 1 participants were in the virtual-reality setting (a building) as wheelchair users. Group 2 participants were in the virtual-reality setting in a wheelchair pushed by a walking person. Group 3 participants walked without aid in the virtual-reality setting. Joan measured the time each participant needed to complete the navigation of the virtual-reality setting. What is the independent variable(s)?

A researcher hypothesized that cytokinins and auxins supplied by tumor-inducing insects lead to the production of tumors in plants. She performed experiments in which she hypodermically injected green pepper plants to determine if she could induce tumors. In one experiment she varied the concentration of cytokinin and the ratio of auxin concentration to cytokinin concentration. She used 3 concentrations of cytokinin and 6 ratios of auxin/cytokinin. The concentrations are indexed (1-3) with 3 indicating the highest concentration of cytokinin. The 6 ratios of auxin/cytokinin varied from 0.125 to 5.0 with values greater than 1 indicating that auxin was in greater concentration than cytokinin. The resulting data are in the date file "auxcyt.csv". The measured sizes of the tumors induced (relative to controls) are given in the 3rd column ('sumdiffd'). Analyze these data testing the appropriate hypotheses and interpret the results. (Note the unequal sample sizes.) auxcyt data…

Use the following information for the question. A group of home gardeners want to test whether the type of soil used to grow heirloom tomatoes has an effect on the number of tomatoes harvested. Gardeners randomly assigned tomato plants to be grown in soil with no fertilizer, commercial plant food, and homemade compost. All other growing conditions were kept the same. Forty plants were assigned to each group. At the end of the growing season the number of tomatoes harvested was counted. Assume that all other conditions for the ANOVA test have been met. One-way ANOVA F=0.762135 P=0.5202354 Factor df-2 SS=710.349206 MS=355.174603 Using the test results provided, test the hypothesis that soil treatment affects the number of tomatoes harvested. Use a significance level of 5%. Choose the correct decision regarding the null hypothesis and correct conclusion. O Reject Ho. We can conclude that the treatment of the soil affects the number of heirloom tomatoes harvested. O Reject Ho- We can…

A researcher tests whether cocaine use increases impulsive behavior, which is measured as the number of impulsive events per hour. The researcher gives either 0 ng, 10 ng, 15 ng, or 20 ng to each group of mice. 1. What is the independent and dependent variable?

Determine which of the following variables are quantitative.

Group of answer choices A and B and C B and C A and C A and B

A case-control study was conducted to examine the association between lung cancer and smoking in men. The case group contains 500 patients, who were diagnosed with lung cancer. Five hundred age-matched patients were recruited as controls. The study found that 50% of cases were regular smoking and the proportion is 20% among controls. a.

A researcher working at Hershey's is interested in comparing two new chocolate bars: Chocolate Bar A versus Chocolate Bar B. The researcher expects the bars to be different in how much customers will eat per month. The researcher believes the more candy bars someone eats will indicate which one tastes the best. An experiment is designed to compare the two new bars. The number of candy bars eaten by one group of 8 people in a month is measured with Candy Bar A and then the number of candy bars eaten in the same month by another group of 8 participants is measured with Candy Bar B. Use the data below to determine if there is a difference in the consumption of the two candy bars. Candy Bar A Candy Bar B Number of Candy Bars eaten within a month 10, 30, 5, 35, 60, 3, 20, 30, 28, 27, 26, 27, 17, 25 12, 20 With a = .05, determine the critical value of t* that needs to be employed here. The value of the appropriate of t* is: 2.145 O 1.717 2.064 2.819 2.074 O The correct answer is not listed.
