You want to determine if diet impacts body weight. You recruit 60
subjects, assigning 20 each to either one of two dietary interventions or
to maintain their normal diet. You measure body weight before and after
the intervention and calculate the change in body weight (post minus pre
weights). Shapiro-Wilk tests show the following: Diet 1 p=0.032, Diet 2
p=0.001, Normal Diet p=0.025. To determine the diet effect on the
calculated change in body weight, you would use a

A researcher conducts and independent-
measures study examining the effectiveness of
a group exercise program at an assisted living
facility for elderly adults. One group of
residents is selected to participate in the
program, and a second group serves as a
control. After 6 weeks, the research records a
combined score measuring balance and
strength for each individual. The data are as
follows:

Welsch, Davis, Burke, and Williams (2002) conducted a study to evaluate the
effectiveness of a carbohydrate-electrolyte drink on sports performance and
endurance. Experienced athletes were given either a carbohydrate-electrolyte drink
or a placebo while they were tested on a series of high-intensity exercises. One
measure was how much time it took for the athletes to run to fatigue. Data similar to
the results obtained in the study are shown in the following table:

Twenty-four volunteers were randomly assigned to one of three groups. Every day for a month, participants in group 1 drank two cups of hot black tea without milk, participants in group 2 drank two cups of hot black tea with milk, and participants in group 3 drank two cups of hot water but no tea. At the end of the month, the researchers measured the change in each of the participants’ heart health. Did the researchers conduct an experiment or an observational study? Explain. Why did the researchers include a group who drank hot water but no tea? Is it reasonable to generalize the results of the study beyond the 24 participants?

- After stinging its victim, the honeybee leaves behind the barbed stinger, poison sac and muscles that continue to pump venom into the wound. Visscher et al. (1996) compared the effects of two methods of removing the stinger left behind: scraping off with a credit card or pinching off with thumb and index finger. A total of 40 stings were induced on volunteers. Twenty were removed with the credit card method and 20 were removed with the pinching method. The size of the subsequent welt by each measurement came from two volunteers (both authors of the study), each of whom received one treatment 10 times on the one arm and the other treatment 10 times on the other arm. Pinching led to a slightly smaller average welt, but the difference between the methods was not significant. Does this study include a control group?
