28. To examine the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on population mental health, researchers in the UK studied changes in adult mental health before and during the lockdown by asking participants in the UK Household Longitudinal Study (UKHLS) to complete a 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) in April, 2020, and compared with these participants' data for the same questionnaire back in August, 2019. The appropriate test for this scenario would be: Group of answer choices One-sample t test Independent-samples t test Related-samples t test z test One-way ANOVA

6.6.4 To study the difference in drug therapy adherence among subjects with depression who received usual care and those who received care in a collaborative care model was the goal of a study conducted by Finley et al. (A-21). The collaborative care model emphasized the role of clinical pharmacists in providing drug therapy management and treatment follow-up. Of the 50 subjects receiving usual care, 24 adhered to the prescribed drug regimen, while 50 out of 75 subjects in the collaborative care model adhered to the drug regimen. Construct a 90 percent confidence interval for the difference in adherence proportions for the populations of subjects represented by these two samples.
The business objective of the director of Game Ghana is to forecast monthly sales for all new stores, based on the number of profiled customers who live no more than 30 minutes from a Game store. To examine the relationship between the number of profiled customers who live within a fixed radius from a Game store and it monthly sales, data were collected from a sample of 10 stores:Store 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10No of customers (‘000)5728432453 Monthly Sales (‘000)81261487910128(a) Use the least-squares method to compute the regression coefficients ? ??? ?(b) Write down the estimated equation and predict the monthly sales if there are 9000 customers(c) Determine the coefficient of determination, r2 and explain its meaning in this problem(d) Determine the value of the extent of relationship between monthly sales and number of customers, and interpret your results.
A single-case design that involves studying a single behavior in a single participant in a single situation where there is a baseline, introduction of the independent variable, then it is removed and baseline is taken a second time, is referred to as: a) ABAB reversal design b) multiple baseline design c) ABA reversal design d) across behaviors multiple baseline design
During the Covid crisis, there were lockdowns and working-from-home, which made collecting data on unemployment more challenging. Researchers from Heriot Watt University conducted a survey of 400 individuals in the labour force to assess rise in unemployment in September 2020. The object was to find out whether the unemployment rate had risen above a benchmark proportion of 6 per cent of the labour force in Malaysia. Of the surveyed persons, 34 reported being unemployed in the week prior to the survey. Conduct a two-tailed test of whether unemployment rate during this period was 6 per cent. Set out your null and alternative hypotheses, significance level, test statistic, assumptions and sampling distribution clearly. Conduct the test and comment on the economic significance of the findings

Based on a survey of 12,344 U.S. college students and 6,729 Canadian college students, Kuo, Adlaf, Lee, Gliksman, Demers, and Wechsler (2002) report that alcohol use is more common among Canadian than U.S. students, but heavy drinking (five or more drinks in a row for males, four or more for females) is significantly higher among U.S. students than Canadian students. Is this an example of a survey research design?
To examine adolescent substance abuse, Li, Pentz, and Chou (2002) surveyed 1,807 middle school students from 57 schools. The results showed that a greater risk of adolescent substance abuse was associated with increasing numbers of parents and friends who were sub- stance abusers. However, friends’ use did not affect adolescent substance abuse when parents were nonusers. Is this an example of a research design?
A sociologist wants to investigate the question, "Is there a relationship between texting during class and grade-point-average (GPA) among high school seniors in a large district?" Which study design is most appropriate? Before the semester starts, randomly select 40 seniors from each high school who do not text during class. Assign 20 to the texting treatment group (text three or more times during every class meeting) and 20 to the control group (no texting during class). At the end of the semester, obtain each student’s GPA from the appropriate admissions and records office. Compare the GPA of students who routinely text during class to the GPA of students who do not text during class. Before the semester starts, randomly select 40 seniors from each high school who do not text during class. Assign 20 to the texting treatment group (text three or more times during every class meeting) and 20 to the control group (no texting during class). At the end of the semester,…
A clinical trial was conducted among 178 patients with advanced melanoma (a type of skin cancer). There were two treatment groups. Group A received Interleukin-2. Group B received Interleukin-2 plus a vaccine. Six percent of Group A patients and 17% of group B patients had a complete or partial response to treatment. One issue is that some patients experience side effects and have to discontinue treatment. It was estimated that 21% of patients receiving Interleukin-2 plus a 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 Interleukin-2 if arrhythmia developed but not the vaccine and that the probability of a positive response to the 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 2 of the 10 patients…
A researcher notes that there seems to be a difference in the prevalence of individuals who are medication adherent and have high levels of education along with a high health literacy and the prevalence of individuals who are not medication adherent and have low levels of education along with a low health literacy. Use the appropriate hypothesis to determine if education level and health literacy status are related (independent) at the 5%.

A sociologist recorded the number of contacts entered in a cell phone and the number of texts sent in a week for 20 cell phone users. The resulting data were used to conduct a hypothesis test to investigate whether there is a linear relationship between the number of contacts and the number of texts sent. What are the correct hypotheses for the test?
The article "Americans are 'Getting the Wrong Idea' on Alcohol and Health"† reported that observational studies in recent years that have concluded that moderate drinking is associated with a reduction in the risk of heart disease may be misleading. The article refers to a study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that showed that moderate drinkers, as a group, tended to be better educated, wealthier, and more active than nondrinkers. Explain why the existence of these potentially confounding variables prevents drawing the conclusion that moderate drinking is the cause of reduced risk of heart disease. (Select all that apply.) Someone who is more active is more likely to avoid healthier food. Someone who is wealthier is more likely to purchase healthier food. Someone who is more active is more likely to seek out healthier food. Someone who is educated is more likely to seek out healthier food. Someone who is educated is more likely to not be aware of what…
