You believe that eating an apple a day is healthy and want to design an
experiment to find out. You have available 40 volunteers (22 men and 18
women) from a four-year college, all between the ages of 18 and 22. Design an
experiment to help you determine if this practice is healthy or not, and explain,
in terms of the important principles of experimental design, why you chose the
design you did.
Morgan City Fire Chief Sidney Pyro is concerned about the low efficiency scores that his firefighters receive at the state testing institute. Chief Pyro believes that these scores result because some firefighters are not in good physical condition. Pyro orders 75 randomly selected firefighters to participate in an hour of exercise per day. Another 200 firefighters have no required exercise. After 60 days, all firefighters are tested again by the state. Chief Pyro collects the data and performs a two-sample independent t-test by using SPSS to examine if there is a statistically significant difference between the treatment and control groups; the SPSS results are shown in the table below.

- A school superintendent wants to know the effects of a four week anti-bullying course on high school students. The superintendent randomly selects 200 high school students and randomly assigns 100 high school students to participate in the course. She then assigns the remaining 100 high school students to not participate in the course. At the end of the course, the superintendent will observe the students' behavior in a school setting.Which of the following methods was used in this study?

Farmer Bill is an expert dairy farmer but has no background in quantitative decision making. Bill claims that the milk produced by his grass-fed Jersey cattle has higher protein content than the milk made by his grain-fed Jersey cattle. His evidence? He says he can taste the difference. You decide to put Bill's claim to the test. You randomly sample 21 grass-fed Jersey cattle and 18 grain- fed Jersey cattle, independently of one another, and obtain a sample of milk from each cow. Both histograms appear approximately normal. You test Ho : 41 = Hz VS. HA : 1 > Hz, where i is the true mean protein content of milk produced by grass-fed Jersey cattle and µz is that for the grain-fed cattle. Your test statistic is 1.98.

- 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: randomized controlled trial case-control study cohort study crossover trialarrow_forwardAP Statis An experiment was conducted to assess the efficacy of spraying oats with Malathion (at 0.25 lb/acre) to control the cereal leaf beetle. Twenty farms in southwest Manitoba were used for the study. Ten farms were assigned at random to the control group (no spray) and the other 10 fields were assigned to the treatment group (spray). At the conclusion of the experiment, the number of beetle larvae per square foot was measured at each farm, and a one-tailed test of significance was performed to determine if Malathion reduced the number of beetles. In which one of the following cases would a Type II error occur? (a) We do not conclude malathion is effective when in fact it was effective. (b)) We conclude malathion is effective when in fact it is ineffective. (c) We conclude malathion is effective when in fact it is effective. (d) We do not conclude malathion is effective when in fact it is ineffective. (e) We conclude malathion is neither ineffective nor effective.
