A particular county employs three assessors whoare responsible for determining the value of residentialproperty in the county. To see whether these assessors differ systematically in their appraisals, 5 houses are selected, and each assessor is asked to determine the marketvalue of each house. Explain why a randomized block experiment (with blocks corresponding to the 5 houses) was used rather than a completely randomized experiment involving a total of 15 houses with each assessor asked to appraise 5 different houses (a different group of5 for each assessor)

In a clinical trial of Nasonex, 300 allergy patients were randomized into two groups, with Group 1 receiving the Nasonex drug (200 mg) and Group 2 receiving a placebo. The experimenter used a 2:1 randomization plan so that more subjects would be assigned to the Nasonex group. One outcome of interest is the incidence rate of headache as a side-effect. Of the 200 patients randomized to the Nasonex group, 52 (or 26%) reported experiencing a headache; and of the 100 patients randomized to the placebo group, only 22 (22%) reported a headache. 1. The makers of Nasonex are concerned that their allergy medication might increase the incidence of headaches. So they would like to assess the claim that the incidence rate of headaches is higher for Nasonex users as compared to placebo. So the null hypothesis is given by H0: p1 - p2 = 0. Select the appropriate alternative hypothesis. Ha: p1 - p2 ≠ 0 Ha: p1 - p2 > 0 Ha: p1 - p2 < 0 2. It seems that the sample sizes of 200…

The FAA is interested in knowing if there is a difference in the average number of on-time arrivals for four of the major airlines. The FAA believes that the number of on-time arrivals varies by airport, therefore, a randomized block design is used for the study. To control for this variation, they randomly select 100100 flights for each of the major airlines at each of four randomly selected airports and record the number of on-time flights. Can the FAA conclude that there is a significant difference among the average number of on-time arrivals for the four major airlines? The results of the study are as follows. Average Number of On-Time Arrivals Airport Airline A Airline B Airline C Airline D Airport A 9090 8282 8080 8383 Airport B 8282 7070 7474 7979 Airport C 8787 8484 7676 8888 Airport D 9090 7979 7979 9090 Copy DataANOVA Source of Variation SSSS dfdf MSMS Rows 181.6875181.6875 33 60.562560.5625 Columns 278.6875278.6875 33 92.895892.8958 Error…

A banana grower has three fertilizers from which to choose. He would like to determine which fertilizer produces banana trees with the largest yield (measured in pounds of bananas produced). The banana grower has noticed that there is a difference in the average yields of the banana trees depending on which side of the farm they are planted (South Side, North Side, West Side, or East Side), therefore, a randomized block design is used in the study. Because of the variation in yields among the areas on the farm, the farmer has decided to randomly select three trees within each area and then randomly assign the fertilizers to the trees. After harvesting the bananas, he calculates the yields of the trees within each of the areas. Can the banana grower conclude that there is a significant difference among the average yields of the banana trees for the three fertilizers? The results are as follows. Average Yield of Banana Trees Side of Farm Fertilizer A Fertilizer B Fertilizer C…
two different options are under consideration for comparing the lifetimes of 3 brands of flashlight batteries, using 18 flashlights.a)one option is to randomly divide 18 flashlights into 3 groups of 6 flashlights each and than randomly assign each group to use a different brand of battery. would this statistical design be completely randomized design or a randomized block design? explainb) another option is to use 18 flashlights- 6 different brands of 3 flashlights each and randomly assign the 3 flashlights of each brand to use a different brand of battery. would this statistical design be completely randomized design or a randomized block design? explain
A large clinical trial of the effect of diet on breast cancer assigned women at random to either a normal diet or a low-fat diet. To check that the random assignment did produce comparable groups, we can compare the two groups at the start of the study. Asked if there is a family history of breast cancer, 3396 of the 19,541 women in the low-fat group and 4929 of the 29,294 women in the control group said “yes.” Does this data provide evidence of a difference in the observed proportions of a family history of breast cancer? Assume α = .05; show work. What are the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis Ha. Identify the rejection region. Compute the test statistic State your conclusion, using α = .05. What is the p-value of the test statistic?
In randomized, double-blind clinical trials of a new vaccine, rats were randomly divided into two groups. Subjects in group 1 received the new vaccine while subjects in group 2 received a control vaccine. After the second dose, 111 of 670 subjects in the experimental group (group 1) experienced drowsiness as a side effect. After the second dose, 68 of 551 of the subjects in the control group (group 2) experienced drowsiness as a side effect. Does the evidence suggest that a higher proportion of subjects in group 1 experienced drowsiness as a side effect than subjects in group 2 at the α=0.05 level of significance? a. Find the test statistic for this hypothesis test. Round to two decimal places as needed.
