11. In 1940, 2,000 women working in a factory were recruited into a study. Half of the women worked in manufacturing and half in administrative offices. The incidence of bone cancer through 1970 among the 1,000 women working in manufacturing was compared with that of 1,000 women working in administrative offices. Thirty of the women in manufacturing developed bone cancer as compared to 9 of the women in administrative offices. This study is an example of a a. randomized controlled trial b. case-control study c. cohort study d. crossover trial
Two different blood pressure medicines are being compared to determine if the average reduction in blood pressure is the same for each medication. The goal of the study is to determine if the medications differ. Twenty men age 50-60 years old are selected for the study. Ten men are chosen at random to receive the first medication and the other 10 men receive the second medication. Each of the 20 men is monitored for one month to determine the change in blood pressure over that time. Minitab provides the 95% confidence interval for (mu1 - mu2) (2.63, 14.18) a. Interpret this 95% CI. b. What assumptions (be specific) are necessary to construct this CI?
Suppose you rolled a fair six-sided die a few times and recorded the results. (You would have a collection of numbers 1-6.) Now, suppose you wanted to average these numbers. What value would you expect? If the die was rolled 6 times and the results were: 1, 4, 2, 2, 3, 2, then the average of this sample of rolls would be 2.333. This experiment could be peformed again: 6, 5, 2, 1, 1, 4. Now, the average of this sample is 3.167. Obviously, these small samples have a lot of variation in them; however, is there a way to calculate the expected average? If we were to construct a very large sample, rolling this die 1 million times, what would the expected value (mean) be? Luckily, the rules of probability allows us to do this calculation without actually having to roll the die 1 million times! Below, you will find a probability table where all of the possible outcomes from the die are listed. The first column contains the possible outcomes on the die, the second column contains the…
Bonnie and her friends are dubious that a new abdominal exercise machine is as effective as its commercial claims. They decide to conduct an experiment to find out. For three months, Bonnie has 25 randomly chosen friends use the new machine, and 25 others do traditional abdominal exercises. At the end of the experiment, she counts the number of sit-ups each friend can do in one minute.

Alcohol and estrogen After menopause, some womentake supplemental estrogen. There is some concern thatif these women also drink alcohol, their estrogen levelswill rise too high. Twelve volunteers who were receivingsupplemental estrogen were randomly divided into twogroups, as were 12 other volunteers not on estrogen. Ineach case, one group drank an alcoholic beverage, theother a nonalcoholic beverage. An hour later, everyone’sestrogen level was checked. Only those on supplementalestrogen who drank alcohol showed a marked increase.
If samples of a fixed size N are drawn randomly and with replacement from the same population of scores, should we expect the sample means to differ across samples? why or why not?
Twenty university students chosen at random from students enrolled at Carthage College took part in an experiment testing the effect of watching ABC News versus CNN on knowledge of world events. The 20 participants were divided randomly into two equal groups of 10 students each. One group was assigned to watch ABC and the other was assigned to watch CNN. Participants then watched their assigned station (ABC or CNN) for 3 hours a night for 4 weeks. At the end of the 4 week period they were administered a test of world knowledge. The results were as follows: XbarABC = 104; sABC = 12 XbarCNN = 99; sCNN = 10 Compute the 95% confidence interval around the difference between the two groups.
A car dealer is interested in comparing the average gas mileages of four different car models. The dealer believes that the average gas mileage of a particular car will vary depending on the person who is driving the car due to different driving styles. Because of this, he decides to use a randomized block design. He randomly selects five drivers and asks them to drive each of the cars. He then determines the average gas mileage for each car and each driver. Can the dealer conclude that there is a significant difference in average gas mileages of the four car models? The results of the study are as follows. Average Gas Mileage Driver Car A Car B Car C Car D Driver 1 3232 2222 3030 3939 Driver 2 2121 3939 3838 3737 Driver 3 2626 3131 3232 3939 Driver 4 3838 4040 2323 3434 Driver 5 3131 2929 2121 2222 Copy Data ANOVA Source of Variation SSSS dfdf MSMS Rows 174.2000174.2000 44 43.550043.5500 Columns 91.600091.6000 33 30.533330.5333 Error 607.4000607.4000 1212…
In the largest clinical trial ever conducted, 401,974 children were randomly assigned to two groups. The treatment group consisted of 201,229 children given the Salk vaccine for polio, and the other 200,745 children were given a placebo. Among those in the treatment group, 33 developed polio, and among those in the placebo group, 115 developed polio. If we want to use the methods for testing a claim about two population proportions to test the claim that the rate of polio is less for children given the Salk vaccine, are the requirements for a hypothesis test satisfied? Explain. A The requirements are not satisfied; the samples are not simple random samples that are independent. B. The requirements are satisfied; the samples are simple random samples that are independent, and for each of the two groups, the number of successes is at least 5 and the number of failures is at least 5. C. The requirements are satisifed; the samples are simple random samples…
A biologist wants to determine if different temperatures (15oC, 25oC, or 35oC) and amounts of sunlight (partial or full) will affect the growth of plants. He will test each combination of temperature and sunlight by randomly assigning 15 plants to each of the combinations. What type of sampling is described in this study? one sample paired data two samples more than two samples

7. A new drug study was conducted by a drug company. In the study, 10 people were chosen at random to take Vitamin X for 3 months and then have their cholesterol levels checked. In addition, 10 different people were randomly chosen to take Vitamin Y for 3 months and then have their cholesterol levels checked. All 20 people had cholesterol levels between 8 and 10 before taking one of the vitamins. The drug company wanted to see which of the 2 vitamins had the greatest impact on lowering people's cholesterol. The following data was collected: Vitamin X 7.27.5 5.2 6.5 7.7 10 6.47.6 7.77.8 Vitamin Y 4.8 4.44.5 5.1 6.5 8.03.1 4.6 5.2 6.1 (a) Draw a box-and-whisker plot for both sets of data on the same number line. (b) Use the double box-and-whisker plots to compare the 2 vitamins and provide a conclusion for the drug company. (e) State the skewness of both distributions and justify your answer.
