Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 12LTB
What features of the story on milk chocolate and heart health described in question 11 should cause you to consider the results less convincing?
- The study was sponsored by a large milk chocolate manufacturer;
- A total of 10 rats were used in the study;
- The only difference between the rats was that human participants of the experimental group received chocolate along with their regular diets, and the human participants of the control group received no additional food;
- The reporter notes that other studies indicate milk chocolate does not have a beneficial effect on heart health;
- all of the above

- Which of the following statements is not true? a. Some RCTs may involve "cross-over" as part of their design b. Community trials may or may not involve randomization c. The participants for a randomized controlled trial must be randomly selected from the target population d. All RCT participants randomized into the treatment group and the control group must be included in data analysis, even if some of them did not complete the studyarrow_forwardOxycontin is a drug used to treat pain, but it is well known for its addictiveness and danger. In a clinical trial, among randomly selected subjects treated with OxyContin, 52 developed nausea and 175 did not develop nausea. Among other randomly selected subjects given placebos, 5 developed nausea and 40 did not develop nausea. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of nausea is different for those on OxyContin than for those who are on placebo. Use the critical value method. Include a diagram of the distribution indicating important components of the question.arrow_forward1. 40 OT students were randomized into two groups and 40 nursing students were randomized into two groups. One of the OT groups and one of the nursing groups were given the opportunity to participate in a research project and present their data at an IPE conference. The other group of OT students and nursing students completed their normal course work. At the end of the semester the faculty measured all of their students’ knowledge about research design and confidence presenting information to others.

- What is the purpose of randomization in a randomized controlled trial? a. To ensure that there are fewer adverse effects b. To ensure that participants are unaware as to whether they are receiving the medicine or the placebo c. To ensure that participants in the treatment group and those in the pacebo (or control) group are as similar as possible when the study begins d. To ensure that participants in the trial are representative of the target populationarrow_forwardIn Beadle and Tatum experiments the immediate effect of the X-ray treatment wasarrow_forwardThe confidence interval is reported as follows: Lower 95% CI < p < Upper 95% CI For this question you will be calculating the confidence interval but only reporting the Upper 95% CI using the Agresti-Coull Method. ( (you'll need to know the whole 95% CI for a future question) Do NOT use calculations from previous questions, this is a new scenario. In the Invisible Gorilla Experiment, 24 students were watching the video, only 7 noticed the gorilla. Calculate the 95% CI using the Agresti-Coull method, but only report the Upper 95% CI.
