1. A community-based intervention program for hypertension was undertaken in two communities to compare the effect of a non-pharmacological and pharmacologic interventions for mild to moderate hypertension. A baseline survey was conducted which yielded the following results: Community A Community B Smoking Habit Hypertensive Normotensive Hypertensive Normotensive Smoker 698 1,325 709 1,342 Non-smoker 748 7,862 885 8,450 ТОTAL 10,633 11,386 а) What is the prevalence of each of the two communities?

A statistical program is recommended. Jensen Tire & Auto is in the process of deciding whether to purchase a maintenance contract for its new computer wheel alignment and balancing machine. Managers feel that maintenance expense should be related to usage, and they collected the following information on weekly usage (hours) and annual maintenance expense (in hundreds of dollars). Weekly Usage(hours) AnnualMaintenanceExpense 13 17.0 10 22.0 20 30.0 28 37.0 32 47.0 17 30.5 24 32.5 31 39.0 40 51.5 38 40.0 #1) Develop the estimated regression equation that could be used to predict the annual maintenance expense (in hundreds of dollars) given the weekly usage (in hours). (Round your numerical values to two decimal places.) #2) The expected expense of a machine being used 34 hours per week is $ hundred.

NutritionResearchers compared protein intake among threegroups of postmenopausal women: (1) women eating astandard American diet (STD), (2) women eating a lactoovo-vegetarian diet (LAC), and (3) women eating a strictvegetarian diet (VEG). The mean ± 1 sd for protein intake(mg) is presented in Table 12.29. 12.5 Using the data in Table 12.29, perform a multiplecomparisons procedure to identify which specific underlyingmeans are different.
In a study to determine if using low-intensity laser therapy reduces pain for orthodontic patients who are fitted with new braces, patients were randomly assigned to either a control group (who did not receive laser treatment) or an experimental group who did receive laser treatment.† The researchers found that the mean pain rating was lower for those in the laser treatment group than for those in the control group both two days and six days after receiving braces. The researchers used these data to determine if there was evidence to support the claim that the mean pain rating is lower for patients who receive the laser treatment. Answer the four key questions.

. Although there is a popular belief that herbal remedies such as Ginkgo biloba and Ginseng may improve learning and memory in healthy adults, these effects are usually not supported by wellcontrolled research (Persson, Bringlov, Nilsson, and Nyberg, 2004). In a typical study, a researcher obtains a sample of n = 16 participants and has each person take the herbal supplements every day for 90 days. At the end of the 90 days, each person takes a standardized memory test. For the general population, scores from the test form a normal distribution with a mean of μ = 50 and a standard deviation of σ = 12. The sample of research participants had an average of M = 54. Assuming a two-tailed test, state the null hypothesis in a sentence that includes the two variables being examined. Using the standard 4-step procedure, conduct a two-tailed hypothesis test with α = .05 to evaluate the effect of the supplements.

1. It is possible to estimate the average treatment effect of a policy or program using a difference-in-differences design using just two periods of panel data. True False 2. It is possible to test the assumptions underlying a difference-in-differences design using just two periods of panel data. True False 3. In a randomised control trial, at baseline we randomly assign a group of people to either treatment or control conditions and then follow up to measure outcomes at endline. Attrition occurs when we are unable to find individuals at endline who were present at baseline. Attrition is an example of incidental truncation. True False
The following data were obtained from an independent-measures study comparing three treatment conditions. Use an ANOVA with a = .05 to determine whether there are any significant differences among the three treatment means.
In which situation would a researcher need to use a one-way independent measures ANOVA to analyze the data? a.

A researcher is interested in the effects of distraction on driving performance and randomly assigns participants to one of three distraction groups. c. A researcher is interested in a longitudinal study that follows a group of kindergarten children through high school and assesses their body mass index at four time points. d.

It turns out that the survey study at the U of M sampled students from a single student residence hall. Explain why sampling students from a single residence hall would have an impact on the external validity of the study.
