You are conducting a hypothetical retrospective study on use of plastics and prevalence of current medical problems in students.  You hypothesize that participants who used more plastic cups in high school will exhibit more medical problems today. You ask all PH1 students to recall how many times they drank out of plastic cups in high school. Your participants struggle to recall this information and end up guessing how often they used plastic drinking containers in high school.  Your study design will be negatively impacted by: (select one)   A. Misrepresentation B. Recall error C. Negative associations D. Recall bias

Cat Ownership and Schizophrenia Could owning a cat as a child be related to mental illness later in life? Toxoplasmosis is a disease transmitted primarily through contact with cat feces, and has recently been linked with schizophrenia and other mental illnesses. Also, people infected with Toxoplasmosis tend to like cats more and are 2.5 times more likely to get in a car accident, due to delayed reaction times. The CDC estimates that about 22.5% of Americans are infected with Toxoplasmosis (most have no symptoms), and this prevalence can be as high as 95 % in other parts of the world. A study' randomly selected 262 people registered with the National Alliance for the Mentally III (NAMI), almost all of whom had schizophrenia, and for each person selected, chose two people from families without mental illness who were the same age, sex, and socioeconomic status as the person selected from NAMI. Each participant was asked whether or not they owned a cat as a child. The results showed that…

I need guidance on the last question listed at the end of this .... An experiment was conducted to determine if motivational techniques in management significantly affected employee stress levels compared to no intervention.  An employee survey was given to three groups: one group under a manager who started using a transformational motivation technique, one group under a manager who began using a transactional motivation technique, and then a control group with no new technique used.  Stress levels were self-reported by the employees on 10-point Likert scales (0 – no stress, 1- little stress, 9 – very high stress). The results are shown below.  Use alpha = 0.05. Transformational Transactional Control 0 2 6 7 5 5 3 3 8 5 0 9 2 1 5 Null hypothesis:  There is no significant difference in stress levels between the three groups. Alternative hypothesis: There is significance difference in stress levels between the three groups. The…

Philosophical and health issues are prompting an increasing number of Taiwanese to switch to a vegetarian lifestyle. A study published in the Journal of Nutrition compared the daily intake of nutrients by vegetarians and omnivores living in Taiwan. Among the nutrients considered was protein. Too little protein stunts growth and interferes with all bodily functions; too much protein puts a strain on the kidneys, can cause diarrhea and dehydration, and can leach calcium from bones and teeth. Independent random samples of 51 female vegetarians and 53 female omnivores yielded the following summary statistics, in grams, on daily protein intake. Vegetarians: ?" = 39.04, ? = 18.82, ? = 51  Omnivores: ?" = 49.92, ? = 18.97, ? = 53  Do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean daily protein intakes of female vegetarians and female omnivores differ? Perform the required hypothesis test at the 1% significance level. Assume equality of variances. Determine a 99%…

A particular paper described a study of children who were underweight or normal weight at age 2. Children in the sample were classified according to the number of sweet drinks consumed per day and whether or not the child was overweight one year after the study began. Is there evidence of an association between whether or not children are overweight after one year and the number of sweet drinks consumed? Assume that it is reasonable to regard the sample of children in this study as representative of 2 to 3 years old children and then test the appropriate hypotheses using a .05 significance level. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) Number of Sweet Overweight?

You may need to use the appropriate appendix table or technology to answer this question. Approximately 50% of all caregivers of older adults are caring for someone with memory loss (due to is percentage of caregivers caring for older adults with memory loss. This year, in a random sample of 400 caregivers, 181 were caring for older adults with memory loss uch as Alaheimer's or dementia). It is beleved that there has been a reduction in the (a) State the null and the alternative hypotheses. (Enter t for as needed.)

These 2 questions go hand to hand

. A researcher suspects that the actual prevalence of generalized anxiety among children and adolescents is higher than the previously reported prevalence of generalized anxiety disorder among children and adolescents. The previously reported prevalence of generalized anxiety disorder among children and adolescents is 4.1%, and the researcher conducts a study to test the accuracy of the previously reported prevalence of generalized anxiety disorder by recruiting 98 children and adolescents from various pediatricians’ offices and tests them for generalized anxiety disorder using the DSM-5. The researcher determines that the prevalence of generalized anxiety disorder among the participants of the study is 6.8%. The researcher’s hypothesis, for a level of significance of 5%, should resemble which of the following sets of hypothesis? A) H0: p > .041; H1: p = .041; alpha= .05 B) H0: p > .041; H1: p = .041; alpha= .95 C) H0: p = .041; H1: p > .041; alpha= .05 D) H0: p = .041; H1: p…

You are concerned that nausea may be a side effect of Tamiflu, but you cannot just give Tamiflu to patients with the flu and say that nausea is a side effect if people become nauseous. This is because nausea is common for people who have the flu.Past studies state that about 33% of people who get the flu experience nausea. You collected data on 2248 patients who were taking Tamiflu to relieve symtoms of the flu, and found that 810 experienced nausea. You decide to carry out a simulation to test the claim that the percentage of people who take Tamiflu for the relief of flu symtoms and experience nausea is greater than 33%.a) Identify the null and alternative hypotheses.H0H0: ? p = p ≠ p < p > p ≤ p ≥ μ = μ ≠ μ < μ > μ ≤ μ ≥  H1H1: ? p = p ≠ p < p > p ≤ p ≥ μ = μ ≠ μ < μ > μ ≤ μ ≥
