Question

Transcribed Image Text:A researcher is interested in the effects of diazepam on anxiety in rats. She takes a
group of 15 female rats and injects them with 0.005 mg of diazepam for every 100 g
the rats weigh, and takes a different group of female rats and injects them with
saline. She then puts them all on an elevated-plus maze for 15 minutes and observes
how long they spend (in seconds) in the enclosed arms versus the open arms. The
less time they spend in the enclosed arms means they have less anxiety. She also
weighs them before the injection to make sure she gets the dosage correct.
a. Identify the population of interest
b. Identify the Independent variable.
c. Identify the Dependent variable.
d. What scale of measurement was used for the independent variable? Explain why
you think so.
e. Was the independent variable discrete or continuous? Explain why you think so.
f. What scale of measurement was used for the dependent variable? Explain why you
think so.
g. How could you change the dependent measurement into an ordinal scale?
h. What construct was used in the experiment?
i. What was the operational definition for the construct?

- We want to know if students with bronchitis at 5 years have more cough symptoms when they grow up. Out of 290 children with Bronchitis at Age 5, 32 of them has cough symptoms at Age 12. Out of 970 children with no Bronchitis at Age 5, 43 of them has cough symptoms at Age 12. Is the cough symptom equally prevalent in both populations?arrow_forwardA researcher wonders if there an association between the incidence of colds and the amount of Vitamin C taken. He recruits 93 volunteers and randomly assigns 26 of them to take 500 mg of Vitamin C, 18 of them to take 1000 mg of Vitamin C and the rest to take no Vitamin C. At the end of the study, it was determined that 30 of the volunteers did not have any colds where 15 of them were in the 500 mg group, 11 of them were in the 1000 mg group, and the rest took no Vitamin C.

I need help in the 2 questions I got wrong. On the picture the table is already set in order from smaller to bigger. By how much could this value be decreased without affecting the value of the sample median? (Enter ∞ if there is no limit to the amount.) I have no idea on how to calculate that. The other question is all the way down. I know I have to conver the seconds to minutes. I got 370.85 / 60 = 6.1695 which if I round to 2 decimal places as asked by the problem I should be getting 6.17 minutes. I was marked wrong. Why? Thanks.arrow_forward

She randomly assigns 22 rats to a treatment or control group (11 rats in each group). Rats in the treatment group are given the plant compound daily for a week, while rats in the control group are given a placebo. Over the course of the week, the researcher monitors the total number of calories consumed by all 22 rats. All the rats are kept separate from one another, but in their typical environments, for the duration of the week. The researcher’s null hypothesis is that the rats given the plant compound consume the same number of calories as the rats given a placebo. Since the rats in the treatment group are independent of the rats in the control group, the researcher realizes that the design of her study is an independent-measures design. The researcher knows that the total calories consumed by a rat over the course of a week are normally distributed. However, the researcher is not…arrow_forwardErnesto is a web developer who is looking to determine which of two types of advertisements are the most cost effective. He suspects that advertisements with animations generate more clicks than advertisements without animations but wants to confirm his intuition before he starts recommending advertisements with animations to his clients. Ernesto creates advertisements with animations for 12 different products and then creates advertisements without animations for those same products. Then he measures the click-through rate for those advertisements. The data are provided below (given as percentages of total visitors to the site who clicked on the advertisement). Assume that the conditions required for this hypothesis test are satisfied. Use a calculator to test the paired data, where α=0.01. Compute the sample differences d using d=Without−With.
