- A substance abuse counselor wants to demonstrate the effect of situational stress on alcohol cravings. He recruits two groups of men who are similar in respect to history of alcohol use and demographic variables. He divides them in to two groups. In one group(n=11), the men are exposed to a stressful situation and then asked to complete a measure rating their alcohol cravings on a scale from 0-10, where 0 representsno cravings and 10 represents intense cravings. In the second group (n=10), the men are exposed to a neutral situation and asked to complete the same measure.

You have some colleagues who are under-appreciated by their supervisors and have not received a raise or promotion in years. You believe that there is some relationship between how much a supervisor appears to be appreciative and the amount of money his/her subordinates make. To test this, you distributed a survey to all of the people in your organization who are in supervisory positions. You measure their appreciation for each individual works for them on a Likert-type scale of 1-5. You also have corresponding data for supervisors' employees' salaries.

- Polyunsaturated fatty acids in the diet favorably affect several risk factors for cardiovascular disease. The principal dietary polyunsaturated fat is linoleic acid. Suppose we randomly selected twelve adults for our study. We took their blood pressure measurements (systolic blood pressure) at the start and recorded them for each adult. Then we placed required these adults to consume 23g/day of safflower oil which is high in linoleic acid for four weeks. At the end of the four weeks, we took another systolic blood pressure(SBP) measurement. The paired data is provided below: Subject 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Baseline SBP 119.67 100.00 123.56 109.89 96.22 133.33 115.78 126.39 122.78 117.44 111.33 92.39 1-month SBP 117.33 98.78 123.83 107.67 95.67 128.89 113.22 121.56 126.33 110.39 107.00 93.06 Use the appropriate nonparametric test at alpha level of 0.05, to test whether the diet heavy in linoleic acid increases systolic blood pressure (SBP).arrow_forwardA researcher gathered a sample of participants who volunteered for a studying of phobias.

However, as true for any screening test, they are not completely accurate. If it is determined, based on mammographic findings, that there is a possibility of breast cancer, this is usually confirmed or disconfirmed by a subsequent biopsy. A false positive test is a mammogram positive test that is disconfirmed by biopsy. The data in Table 1 were reported in a paper concerning breast cancer screening (Elmore, et al, New England Journal of Medicine 1998; 338(16): 1089-1096). Table 1 False positive breast cancer screening tests over a 10-year period # Screening tests # False positive tests 9762 631 1. Suppose 10 women are given mammograms. What is the probability that at least 1 woman will have a false positive test?arrow_forward
