Consider a drug that is used to help prevent blood clots in certain patients. In clinical trials, among
5917
patients treated with this drug,
148
developed the adverse reaction of nausea. Use a
0.05

A researcher interested in evaluating environment friendly behaviors evaluated how often people recycle (per month) based on whether they have an overall optimistic or an overall pessimistic attitude toward eco-friendly behaviors. The results from this hypothetical study are given in the table. Test whether or not recycling behaviors differed between groups using a .05 level of significance. State the value of the test statistics and the decision to retain or reject the null hypothesis. Compute effect size using eta- squared (n^2).

Before starting the trial, a pilot study is conducted involving eight participants. The objective of the study is to assess how systolic blood pressure changes over time untreated. Systolic blood pressures are measured at baseline and again 4 weeks later Is there a statistically significant difference in blood pressures over time? Run the test at a 5% level of significance. Give each of the following to receive full credit: 1) the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses; 2) the appropriate test; 3) the decision rule; 4) the calculation of the test statistic; and 5) your conclusion including a comparison to alpha or the critical value. You MUST show all your work to receive full credit. Partial credit is available. Baseline 4 weeks 135 136 150 142 143 135 160 158 152 155 143 140 133 128 146 129arrow_forward
- A national organization that conducts research on the cost and quality of health care in the U.S. reported that, in 2012, U.S. families spent an average of $9,590 on health care expenses. Suppose you decide to test whetherthe average in 2015 is greater than the average in 2012. After conducting the appropriate statistical test, you find a P-value of 0.022. If the level of significance is 0.05, which of the following is the best interpretation of the P-value? a. The P-value of 0.022 indicates that there is a 2.2% chance that the 2015 average is greater than the average amount spent in 2012.b. The P-value of 0.022 provides weak evidence that the average in 2015 average is greater than the average amount spent in 2012.c. The P-value of 0.022 provides strong evidence that the 2015 average is greater than the average amount spent in 2012.d. The P-value of 0.022 indicates that there is a very low probability that the 2015 average is different than average amount spent in 2012.arrow_forwardAcne is a common skin disease that affects most adolescents and can continue into adulthood. A study compared the effectiveness of three acne treatments and a placebo, all in gel form, applied twice daily for 12 weeks. The study's 517 teenage volunteers were randomly assigned to one of the four treatments. Success was assessed as clear or almost clear skin at the end of the 12 week period. The results of the study can be seen in the table below. Using the appropriate statistical test, determine if there is significant evidence that the four treatments perform differently. If so, how do they compare.arrow_forwardAccording to a survey conducted by the Association for Dressing and Sauces, 85% of American adults eat salad at least once a week.

Evidence suggests that approximately 90% of all homeschooled children attend college. To check this claim, a random sample of 208 homeschooled children was obtained, and 180 of them were found to have attended college. The researcher wishes to determine whether the proportion of homeschool children who attend college is different from 0.90. Test an appropriate hypothesis and state your conclusion. Make sure to state and check all conditions and state your conclusion in context.arrow_forwardConsider a drug that is used to help prevent blood clots in certain patients.
