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.
An economist is studying the cost of advertising during prime time local news broadcasts. She wishes to determine if the geographic location of the TV station (she stratifies the US into 8 geographic regions) and the channel of the broadcast (she has four specific channels of interest) have any effect on the price of a 1-minute commercial during the news broadcast.
Is this is a randomized experiment?
Are American adults who have children significantly more likely to play video games than American adults who do not have children? Is it realistic to design a randomized experiment to investigate this question? If so, describe how you would design such an experiment. If not, explain why not.

- Researchers investigate how the presence of cell phones influence the quality of human interaction. Subjects are randomly selected from a population and divided into an experimental group that is asked to leave their phones in the front of the room and a control group that are not asked to leave their cell phones at the front of the room. Subjects are left alone for 10 minutes and then asked to take a survey designed to measure quality of interactions they had with others in the experiment. What statistical test is appropriate?arrow_forwardIn 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_forwardThe effect of three different grades of gasoline on fuel economy in car engines is being studied. Fuel economy is measured using brake-specific fuel consumption after the engine has been running for 15 minutes. Five different car engines are available for the study, and the experimenters conduct the following randomized complete block design. Car Gasoline grade 1 2 3 4 1 0.545 0.685 0.530 0.445 0.550 2 0.510 0.644 0.497 0.339 0.522 3 0.523 0.605 0.498 0.410 0.520 (a) Analyze the data from this experiment. (b)Use the Bonferroni correction method to make comparisons among the three grades of gasoline to determine specifically which grades differ in brake-specific fuel consumption.arrow_forward

The law allows marketers of herbs and other natural substances to make health claims that are not supported by evidence. Brands of ginkgo extract claim to “improve memory and concentration.” A randomized comparative experiment found no statistically significant evidence for such effects. The subjects were 350 healthy volunteers over 60 years old. They were randomly assigned to ginkgo or a placebo pill (a dummy pill that looks and tastes the same). All the subjects took a battery of tests for learning and memory before treatment started and again after six weeks. (a) The study was double-blind. Why is this important? (b) Can the results of this study be generalized to a larger population? Can cause-and-effect be inferred? Explain. (c) Explain why it is advantageous to use 350 volunteers in this study, rather than, say, 30.arrow_forward
