A new chemotherapy drug is released to treat leukemia and researchers suspect thst the drug may have fewer side effects than the most commonly used drug to treat leukemia. The two drugs have equivalent efficacy. In order to determine if a larger study should be conducted to look into the prevalence of side effects for the two drugs, set up a Mann-Whitney U test at the alpha equals .05 level and interpret its results. Number of reported side effects Old drug 0 1 3 3 5 New drug 0 0 1 2 4

It is desired to investigate the effect of A and B factors on crop yield. The data related to this experiment, which was carried out by selecting the agent levels, are given below. According to this, write the model equation and create the ANOVA table. Write down the hypotheses and interpret the result (a=0.05)
The state of California is working very hard to ensure that all elementary age students whose native language is not English become proficient in English by the sixth grade. Their progress is monitored each year using the California English Language Development test. The results for two school districts in southern California for the 2003 school year are given in the accompanying table.7 Do the data indicate a significant difference in the 2003 proportions of students who are fluent in English for the two districts? Use α = .01.

A study is being conducted to compare vitamin C and zinc to determine which is better at fighting colds. Customers believe vitamin C is better at fighting colds. What are the appropriate hypotheses for this testing scenario? Let μc equal the mean of the effectiveness of vitamin C and μz equal the mean of the effectiveness of zinc.

A researcher wanted to examine whether type of dog food (freeze dried meat vs generic brand kibble) would affect dogs' attention span. The researcher hypothesized that dogs who ate freeze dried meat would not have the same attention span as those who ate generic kibble. The researcher used a single sample of 13 dogs, that took part in both treatment conditions. The mean was 7.0 and the SS for the difference in attention spans was 144. Alpha was set at the 0.05 level. Calculate the appropriate t to the nearest thousandths and include the +/- value in front of the t. For example, -5.369. What is the corresponding critical t? What decision can you make about the null hypothesis? Was there a treatment effect?
A research company wants to determine whether there is a difference in effectiveness of a brand-name ibuprofen and generic ibuprofen. What are the appropriate hypotheses for this testing scenario? Let μ₁ equal the mean of the effectiveness of brand-name ibuprofen and μ2 equal the mean of the effectiveness of generic ibuprofen.

Holy Family University wants to determine if the number of students in each major is different from the proportion that is seen across the United States. In the US approximately 45% of students are Psychology majors, 25% are Business majors, 15% are natural science majors, and a final 15% are Education majors. The data for Holy Family appears below, determine if the proportion of students within the majors at Holy Family is different from the population using an alpha of .05.
two types of preoperative skin preparation before performing open heart surgery. These two preparations used aqueous iodine and insoluble iodine. Do these data provide sufficient evidence at the α = 0.05 level to justify the conclusion that they type of skin preparation and infection are associated?
Earlier in this chapter we described a study by Bartholow and Anderson (2002) examining how the experience of violence in video games influenced aggressive behavior for males and females. Their results suggest that increased violence increase aggressive behavior for males but has little or no effect for females. The following data are measures of aggressive behavior similar to the results obtained in the study. Use an ANOVA with α=.05 to evaluate the data. Describe the effect of the violent game compared with a nonviolent game on the aggressive behavior for males and for females. Calculate the effect size (η2) for each main effect and for the interaction.
FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus) attacks a cat's immune system causing FAIDS (feline acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). It is estimated that between 2 and 25 percent of the global domestic cat population is infected with the virus. FIV is primarily transmitted from cat to cat through biting. A one-step immunochromatographic (IC) test has been developed for the detection of FIV antibodies. It is estimated that 94.7% of cats with FIV test positive and 96.1% of cats without FIV test negative using this test. Assume that 5% of the local cat population is actually infected with FIV.Use this information to answer the following: (a) For a population of 100 000 cats:i. how many are estimated to be infected with FIV?ii. how many of the cats in (a)(i) will test positive? (b) Use your answers from (a) to help construct a 2 x 2 table of counts displaying the results for this sample. Complete the table. (c) Estimate the proportion of local cats that would test negative for FIV but…

As an occupational health epidemiologist you are required to measure the effect of stress on the workers in your manufacturing plant. Two different tests previously developed to measure stress in industrial workers are selected: stress test alpha and stress test delta. The sensitivity and specificity of each test are shown below. Which test generates the greatest proportion of false negatives? Stress Test Alpha Stress Test Delta Sensitivity = 60% 75% M Specificity = 95% 90% Stress Test Alpha Stress Test Delta
