An experiment to determine if a migraine medication decreases a person's average number of monthly migraines is performed on 400 people who report they have several migraines a month. Researchers randomly assigned 200 people to the treatment group and 200 people to the control group. After the study, the researchers determined that 48 of the subjects in the treatment group and 28 of the subjects in the control group average fewer migraines per month. The data from the two groups are resampled 150 times, and the table shows the distribution of the differences of the proportions for the reconfigured treatment and control groups.
The researchers reported:" A 2x2 ANOVA revealed, first of all, a main effect for depletion, indicating that depleted individuals generated less ideas (M = 9.40, SD = 5.64) than non-depleted individuals (M = 12.44, SD = 7.34), F (1, 108) = 6.03, p = .016, n2 = .05. This effect was qualified by the expected interaction with [perseverance], F (1,108) = 4.52, p = .036, n2 = .05". What size are the effects for the main effect of depletion and for the interaction between depletion and perseverance, according to Cohen's conventions? a. These are small- to -medium effects b. These are non existent effects c. These are large effects d. We are unable to tell from from the n2 / r2 statistics
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 seven-year medical research study reported that women whose mothers took the drug DES during pregnancy were twice as likely to develop tissue abnormalities that might lead to cancer as were women whose mothers did not take the drug. a. This study compared two What were the populations? b. Do you suppose the data were obtained in a survey or an experiment? c. For the population of women whose mothers took the drug DES during pregnancy, a sample of 3980 women showed that 63 developed tissue abnormalities that might lead to Provide a descriptive statistic that could be used to estimate the number of women out of 1000 in this population who have tissue abnormalities. d. For the population of women whose mothers did not take the drug DES during pregnancy, what is the estimate of the number of women out of 1000 who would be expected to have tissue abnormalities? e. Medical studies often use a relatively large sample (in this case.3980).Why?
The relationship between the independent variable (IV) and the dependent variable (DV) is likely to be mediated by a third variable (MV). With regard to the statement above, which of the following is most likely to be correct? A IV = Students’ performance (i.e., marks) in the formative assessment; DV = Students’ performance (i.e., marks) in the summative assessment, and MV = Students’ level of comfort with the venue of the assessments B IV = Students’ performance (i.e., marks) in the summative assessment; DV = Students’ performance (i.e., marks) in the formative assessment, and MV = Students’ level of preparation for the assessments. C IV = Students’ performance (i.e., marks) in the formative assessment; DV = Students’ performance (i.e., marks) in the summative assessment, and MV = Students’ level of preparation for the assessments D IV = Students’ performance (i.e., marks) in the summative assessment; DV = Students’ performance (i.e., marks) in the formative assessment,…
A national study found that treating people appropriately for high blood pressure reduced their overall mortality by 20%. Treating people adequately for hypertension has been difficult because it is estimated that 50% of hypertensives do not know they have high blood pressure, 50% of those who do know are inadequately treated by their physicians, and 50% who are appropriately treated fail to follow this treatment by taking the right number of pills. If the preceding 50% rates were each reduced to 35% by a massive education program, then what effect would this change have on the overall mortality rate among true hypertensives; that is, would the mortality rate decrease and, if so, what percentage of deaths among hypertensives could be prevented by the education program? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) The overall mortality rate among hypertensives would be reduced by how much? If possible please demonstarte how this can be done on a calculator, thank you!
2. A new chemotherapy drug is released to treat leukemia and researchers suspect that the drug may have fewer side effects than the most commonly used drug to treat leukemia. The two drugs have equivalent efficacy. In order to determine if a larger study should be conducted to look into the prevalence of side effects for the two drugs, set up a Mann-Whitney U test at the alpha equals .05 level and interpret its results.Number of Reported Side-EffectsOld Drug 0 1 3 3 5New Drug 0 0 1 2 4 A) We fail to reject H0, which states the two populations are equal at the alpha equals .05 level because the calculated U value of 16.5 is greater than the critical U value of 2.B) We fail to reject H0, which states the two populations are equal at the alpha equals .05 level because the calculated U value of 8.5 is greater than the critical U value of 2.C) We reject H0 in favor of H1, which states the two populations are not equal at the alpha equals .05 level because the calculated U value of 16.5 is…
An optometrist suspected that the reading habits of all the first year optometry students from DDC have a bad effect to their eye vision that could possibly affect both of their academic and non-academic performance. Upon conducting the study, he found out the following results; 1. 75% of the total number of first year optometry students from DDC, 25% were males and 50% were females, have bad eye vision due to their reading habits and got poor academic performance but a satisfying performance in non-academic activities. 2. The researcher got a 30% sample out of the 100% population and found out that 20% of the sample were females and 10% were males with bad eye vision due to their reading habits and got poor academic performance but satisfying non-academic performance. 3. The conclusion was, the reading habits of the first year optometry students from DDC had bad effects to their eye vision. This was one of the reasons that the students have poor performance in academic activities…

Consider a capital market with only two risky assets A and B. Their standard deviations are 1 and 2, respectively. There is no risk-free asset. When the correlation coefficient ρAB = 0, construct a portfolio, whose variance is strictly less than 1. [Hint: you may want to try the portfolio that puts more weight on the security with the lower standard deviation.]
When looking at the data for graduate school admissions between men and women, it is shown that about 45% of men are admitted but only 38% of women. However, when the data is broken down by school it turns out that, within each school, the women are admitted at higher rates than the men. This could happen because I. The women apply in higher numbers to schools with lower acceptance rates. II. The women apply in higher numbers to schools with higher acceptance rates III. The men apply in higher numbers to schools with lower acceptance rates IV. The men apply in higher numbers to schools with higher acceptance rates
Using a theoretical framework from engineering sciences, the researcher believes that the physical set up of hospital rooms impacts rates of hand washing. After prolonged engagement, she observed the healthcare providers working on a medical/surgical floor of a hospital. As the result of her data analysis she purposefully selected 6 physicians, 10 nurses and 12 nursing aids to conducted in-depth interviews with. Subsequent to the analysis of that data she then purposefully selected 5 medical residents, 10 more nurses, the radiographers assigned to the portable imaging machine, and 15 patient transporters to conduct interviews with. She uses the data she collected and analyzed to develop a survey that she sent to 100 randomly selected hospitals across the northeast. What research design was used in this study? a. Mixed Methods b. Exploratory c. Convergent d. Explanatory
