- What is an experiment?arrow_forwardA study on the effects of color on easing test anxiety compared anxiety test scores of participants who completed a test printed on either soft yellow paper or harsh green paper. The scores for the 10 participants who completed the yellow and the 10 participants who completed it on the green paper are below (Table 5). Using an alpha level of .05, do participants who use the yellow paper report lower test anxiety than those who wrote it on the harsh green paper? Table 5.

- Define and explain Type I and Type II errors and relate each to the selection of an alpha level.arrow_forwardBenzene is a pollutant that, according to studies, can be associated with health problems. Benzene is found in air, water, and soil and comes from both industrial and natural sources. Benzene levels in indoor air are generally higher than outdoors. The main source of benzene in indoor air appears to be tobacco smoke, thus the combustion of tobacco is a major source of pollution. Benzene levels are measured in a random sample of 36 bars in a city, obtaining an average benzene level of 19.2 mg / m3, with a standard deviation of 2.1 mg / m3. Estimate the mean benzene level in bars in this city using a 95% confidence interval.

Access to a pet (typically, but not limited to, a dog) has been shown to be associated with beneficial physical responses like lowered blood pressure and reduced anxiety. In a review of the pet therapy literature, Giaquinto and Vlanetini (2009) describe a study that compared two groups of heart patients. Group 1 consisted of patients with high blood pressure and who owned pets. These participants were matched with participants in a control group who also had high blood pressure but did not own pets. Six months later, blood pressure was measured in both groups. Does having a pet reduce blood pressure? what statistical test should be used and why?arrow_forward
- A recent study on the effects of Tamiflu looked into whether the antiviral medication can reduce the duration of the flu or not. To test this, researchers selected sample of 42 individuals recently diagnosed with the flu. Twenty-one of these individuals were given a placebo, and their average flu durations was 12.6 days (SD = 1.88). The remaining 21 subjects were given Tamiflu, and their average flu duration was 11.4 days (SD = 1.58). Did Tamiflu make reduce the duration of the flu?

These scores are measured on the Brief Depression Inventory, which uses a 0-100 scale, with higher scores indicating greater symptom severity. Researchers at Stanford select a sample of volunteers who meet MDD criteria. That sample of people participate in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for a period of time, and their symptom severity is measured on the Brief Depression Inventory. The sample's average score is then compared to the general population average for people with MDD. Researchers find that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy appears to treat MDD fairly well!

This experiment involved a control group of subjects who received a placebo. Why didn't the experimenters just give everyone the omega-3 fats to see if they improved? Choose the correct answer below. O A. They need to avoid confounding the participants. O B. They need to compare omega-3 results to something. O C. They need to conserve omega-3 fats. O D. They need to blind the participants.arrow_forward
- Overproduction of uric acid in the body can be an indication of cell breakdown. This may be an advance indication of illness such as gout, leukemia, or lymphoma. Over a period of months, and adult male patient has taken 13 blood test for uric acid. The main concentration was X=5.41 mg/dl. The distribution of uric acid and healthy adult meals can be assumed to be normal, with o=1.81 mg/dl. find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean concentration of uric acid in the patient's blood.

In one study of the use of arsenic to treat acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), a rare type if blood cancer, APL patients were given an arsenic compound as part of their treatment. Of those receiving arsenic, 32% were in remission and showed no signs of leukemia in subsequent examination. It is known that 18% of APL patients go into remission after conventional treatment. Suppose that the study had included 100 randomly selected patients. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion in remission for the arsenic treatment is greater than 0.18, the remission proportion for conventional treatment? a. Test the hypothesis at the 0.01 significance level. b. Construct and interpret a 99% confidence interval for the true proportion of APL patients who go into remission after using arsenic. Does the inference drawn from this interval match the conclusion from the test that you did in part…arrow_forwardA new drug to treat psoriasis has been developed and is in clinical testing. Assume that those individuals given the drug are examined before receiving the treatment and then again after receiving the treatment to determine if there was a change in their symptom status. If the initial results showed that 2.0% of individuals entered the study in remission, 77.0% of individuals entered the study with mild symptoms, 16.0% of individuals entered the study with moderate symptoms, and 5.0% entered the study with severe symptoms calculate and interpret a chi-squared test to determine if the drug was effective treating psoriasis given the information below from the final examination.
