20. A recent clinical trial compares the use of Drug A to the standard treatment of symptomatic genital herpes. The study involves 10,000 people with genital herpes who are randomly assigned to receive Drug A or standard treatment. Results of the trial show that the duration of symptoms in patients who received Drug A is 4 days, versus 4.5 days in patients who received standard symptomatic measures (p<0.05). The manufacturer of Drug A recommends the use of Drug A in the clinical treatment of genital herpes. Based on the study's results, which of the following is the most appropriate reason to question the manufacturer's recommendation? A) The investigators used an inappropriate study design OB) It is likely that there was a Type I error C) It is likely that there was a Type II error D) The observed difference is not clinically significant E) The observed difference is not statistically significant F) There was insufficient power

A company claims that its brand of dish detergent, A, is more effective than a competitor’s brand, B. Fifty dirty dishes are randomly selected and randomly divided into two groups. In one group, each dirty dish will be placed in a container of hot water with Brand A detergent and in the other group, each dirty dish will be placed in a container of hot water with Brand B detergent. The dishes will sit for two hours, and then the cleanliness of the dishes will be measured using a scale of 1–10 (1 = least clean to 10 = most clean). The difference in mean cleanliness ratings for the two detergents (A – B) will then be calculated. What is the appropriate inference procedure?
In a classic study, Shrauger (1972) examined the effect of an audience on performance for two groups of participants: high self-esteem and low self-esteem individuals. The participants in the study were given a problem-solving task with half of the individuals in each group working alone and a half working with an audience. Performance on the problem-solving task was measured for each individual. The results showed that the presence of an audience had little effect on high self-esteem participants but significantly lowered the performance for the low self-esteem participants. a. How many factors does this study have? What are they? b. Describe this study using the notation system that indicates factors and numbers of levels of each factor.
I have two questions. 1) Will improving customer service result in higher stock prices for the companies providing the better service? "When a company's satisfaction score has improved over the prior year's results and is above the national average (75.6), studies show its shares have a good chance of outperforming the broad stock market in the long run." The following satisfaction scores of three companies for the 4th quarters of two previous years were obtained from an economic indicator. Assume that the scores are based on a poll of 50 customers from each company. Because the polling has been done for several years, the standard deviation can be assumed to equal 6 points in each case. Company Year 1 Year 2 Company A 73 76 Company B 75 77 Company C 77 78 (a) For Company A, is the increase in the satisfaction score from year 1 to year 2 statistically significant? Use ? = 0.05. (Let ?1 = the satisfaction score for year 2 and ?2 = the satisfaction score for year 1.)…
If the data analyst hypothesizes that grocery sales are higher when payment is made using credit cards compared to cash payment, the null hypothesis would likely state that grocery sales are lower when payment is made using credit cards compared to cash payment. T/F
For 25 years, Arthur Reynolds and Judy Temple tracked more than 1,400 children who participated in a publicly funded early childhood development program beginning at age 3. They found that children who participated in the program showed higher levels of educational attainment, socioeconomic status, and job skills, as well as lower rates of substance abuse, felony arrest, and incarceration, than those who did not receive school-based early education. One possible theory for the success of this program is that improving school readiness improved the children's success in school. The improved success in school in turn improved their readiness for adulthood, resulting in increased job skills and socioeconomic status as well as lower rates of substance abuse.
What is the step-step solution to this problem? Does posting calorie content for menu items affect people’s choices in fast-food restaurants? According to results obtained by Elbel, Gyamfi, and Kersh (2011), the answer is no. The researchers monitored the calorie content of food purchases for children and adolescents in four large fast-food chains before and after mandatory labeling began in New York City. Although most of the adolescents reported noticing the calorie labels, apparently the labels had no effect on their choices. Data similar to the results obtained show an average of M = 786 calories per meal with s = 85 for n = 100 children and adolescents before the labeling, compared to an average of M = 772 calories with s = 91 for a similar sample of n = 100 after the mandatory posting. Use a two-tailed test with a α .05 to determine whether the mean number of calories after the posting is significantly different than before calorie content was posted. 3. Calculate r 2 to…
Consider a cohort study to compare the mortality rate of myocardial infarction (MI) in men with sedentary work (exposed group) to men with physically active work (unexposed). If in the exposed, there were 36,000 person (man) years of observation and 126 deaths whereas the unexposed had 24,000 man-years of observation and 44 deaths. Compute the following a) Mortality rate in each cohort? b) What is the relative risk of dying, comparing these 2 groups? c) What is the attributable risk of sedentary work? d) What is the attributable benefit of physical activity? e) If we assume that MI is associated with the mortality in this cohort (causality), what proportion of the disease in the higher group is potentially preventable?
