Captopril is a drug designed to lower systolic blood pressure. When subjects were treated with this drug, their systolic blood pressure readings (in mm Hg) were measured before and after the drug was taken. Results are given in the accompanying table (based on data from "Essential Hypertension: Effect of an Oral Inhibitor of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme," by MacGregor et al., British Medical Journal, Vol. 2).
Using a 0.01 significance level, is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that captopril has an effect on systolic blood pressure?

She decided to test this theory using an experiment. She randomly assigned 24 clients to receive either zero compliments, 5 compliments, or 10 compliments during their appointment. She recorded how many products they purchased after their appointment as her DV. She firstly hypothesised that no-compliment clients (M = 0.38) would purchase fewer products than clients who received 5 compliments (M = 1.50). She secondly hypothesised that 5-compliment clients would purchase fewer products than 10-compliment clients (M = 3.63). Thus, she conducted two comparisons. The initial ANOVA was significant. Using an alpha of .05, results for the follow-up tests confirmed her first hypothesis, with an obtained t value of 2.60, but did not confirm her second hypothesis, with an obtained t value of 1.20. She later realised that she did not use a Bonferroni-corrected…arrow_forwardGroup 1 (n=16) averaged 27.31 jumps (SD=10.18) in a physical exam and Group 2 (n=11) averaged 11.91 jumps (SD=9.74).

It still sees limited use for control of disease. But DDT was found to be harmful to plants and animals, including humans, and its effects were found to be lasting. The amount of time that DDT remains in the environment depends on many factors, but the following table shows what can be expected of 200 kilograms of DDT that has seeped into the soil. t = time in yearssince application D = DDT remaining,kilograms 0 200.00 1 190.00 2 180.50 3 171.48 (a) Show that the data are exponential.

- Assume you fit a logistic regression for binary Y [i.e., replace EY in linear regression by log(EY/(1- EY))=log(odds)]. Instructor claims: beta for the main effect is log(OR), and beta for interaction effect is log(ROR), where ROR denotes the ratio of the odds ratio. Explain your agreement or disagreement.arrow_forwardConsider the model Ci= B0+B1 Yi+ ui.

Data gathered from quality control measures indicated that Brand A typically had 2.5 flaws per square yard. A mechanical engineer for the company developed a modification of the current process that she thought might reduce the number of flaws. To determine if this was true, one of the machines in the plant was modified according to her specifications. A sample of 30 square yards of carpet was analyzed for flaws. The sample yielded a mean of 2.2 flaws per square yard. Assume the standard deviation of the measurements is 0.66. Find the p-value of the test. A) 0.62 B) 0.0124 C)0.9938 D) 0.0062arrow_forward

She examined the records of all patients who had the procedure within the past year and found that u = 4 and o = 1.50. She's worried about the long-term outlook for patients who have lengthy hospital stays, and she has recommended to the board of directors that the 15% of patients who stay the longest should receive special follow-up care A. This means that all patients who stay blank (don't round off the number of days) days or more should receive special care. B. If a patient's hospital stay is at the 25th percentile, should he receive special care under Dr. Payne's recommendation?arrow_forward
