Food rheologists study different forms of foods and how the form of a food affects how full we feel when we eat it. One study prepared portions of apple juice and apples with the same number of calories. Half of the subjects were fed apples on one day followed by apple juice on a later day; the other half received the apple juice followed by the apples. After eating, the subjects were asked about how full they felt. Is this an experiment? Why or why not?

One issue is that some patients experience side effects and have to discontinue treatment. It was estimated that 19% of patients receiving lnterleukin-2 plus vaccine developed an arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat) and had to discontinue treatment. Since the side effect was attributable to the vaccine, assume that the patients would continue to take lnterleukin-2 if arrhythmia developed but not the vaccine and that the probability of a positive response to treatment would be the same as group A (i.e., 6%). Suppose we have 10 patients who receive Interleukin- 2 plus vaccine of whom 2 develop arrhythmia and 8 do not. What is the probability that exactly 3 of the 10 patients will get a positive response to treatment?

- Hand written please. An investigator wants to assess the association between manganese and blood pressure in pregnant women (side note: this is a study I am currently working on). The study plans to enroll 100 pregnant women. During the third trimester, each participant will have their manganese level and systolic blood pressure measured. Identify the type of study design and briefly describe its strengths and weaknesses.arrow_forwardDe SFU The analgesic effects of music are well known, but most of the studies have been done with adults and most of the music has been classical. You want to know whether children who choose their own music or audiobook to listen to after a surgery experience less pain and whether that depends on a severity of a surgery. To answer this question, you asked children who underwent minor and major surgeries to listen to music or a story of their choice, or to sit with noise-cancelling headphones for 30 minutes and then to point to a pain face that best illustrated their level of pain.

I want to know whether particular animals are better at reducing blood pressure than others. I randomly select 10 participants. Each participants' blood pressure is measured when they enter the lab (Time 1; baseline). Participants' blood pressure is then measured again after they spend a half-hour with a dog. Lastly, participants' blood pressure is measured a third time after they spend a half-hour with a cat. What is the critical value?arrow_forward
