According to the February 2008 Federal Trade Commission report on consumer fraud and identity theft, 23% of all complaints in the U.S. in 2007 were for identity theft. In that year, Alaska had 321 complaints of identity theft out of 1,432 consumers ("Consumer fraud and," 2008). Does this data provide enough evidence to show that Alaska had a different proportion of identity theft than 23%? Test at 5% level.
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,…
Research done at the Harvard School of Public Health showed that regular soda drinkers may have a tendency toward the weak and brittle bones associated with osteoporosis. They surveyed 2,622 women who were active athletes in college and classified them as to whether they regularly drank soft drinks or rarely drank soft drinks. The proportion of women ineach group who suffered from bone fractures was determined. The findings: those who regularly drank soft drinks were twice as likely to suffer from bone fractures as those who rarely drank soft drinks. Source: Health and Fitness News Service, August 21, 1996. What was the response variable? What are some possible confounding variables in this study?
Swedish researchers concluded that viewing and discussing art soothes the soul and helps relieve medical conditions such as high blood pressure and constipation. This conclusion was based on a study in which 15 elderly women gathered once a week to discuss different works of art. The study also included a control group of 15 elderly women who met once a week to discuss their hobbies and interests. At the end of 4 months, the art discussion group was found to have a more positive attitude, to have lower blood pressure, and to use fewer laxatives than the control group. (a) Why would it be important to determine if the researchers assigned the women participating in the study at random to one of the two groups? Assigning women at random satisfies the conditions of a single-blind experiment. 2. Assigning women at random is not important for the study and can be neglected. 3.Assigning women at random ensures that the two groups are comparable. (b) Explain why you think that…
A study is being carried out in the operating room of the Regional Hospital of Veraguas to establish whether the type of surgery influences the appearance of nosocomial infections in obese patients who underwent a tubular gastrectomy. The 80 patients in the study are divided into two groups, one of whom had had an open surgery (44 patients) and the others a clean surgery. There were 37 patients with infection from open surgery and 14 with infection from clean surgery. If you did not have a nosocomial infection, what is the probability that you had clean surgery? What is the probability that a patient will have clean surgery? What is the probability that a patient will have open surgery? What is the probability of clean surgery or nosocomial infection? What is the probability of no nosocomial infection or clean surgery? If you had clean surgery, what is the probability of a nosocomial infection? If you had clean surgery, what is the probability of no nosocomial infection? If you had…
A researcher is interested in estimating the extent to which posting caloric labels on menus changes the number of calories consumed by patrons. To test the impact of posting caloric labels on menu items, the analyst created two menus for the same restaurant: One menu with caloric labels and one menu without. As soon as restaurant guests entered the restaurant, they were randomly assigned one of the two types of menus. For the sake of clarity, guests assigned the menu with caloric labels are referred to as “Group 1” or the “treatment group”. Likewise, guests assigned the menu without caloric labels are referred to as “Group 2” or the control group. The analyst then collected data detailing how many calories each guest consumed as well as recording the age of each guest. The variable Cal1 denotes the number of calories consumed by guests who were assigned to the treatment group 1, while the variable Cal2 denotes the number of calories consumed by guests who were assigned to the control…

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?
Wertheretal et al. examined the β-leucocyte count (/ L) in 51subjects with colorectal cancer and 19 healthy controls. The cancer patients were also classified into Dukes’s classification (A,B,C) for colorectal cancer that gives doctors a guide to the risk, following surgery, of cancer coming back or spreading to other parts of the body. An additional category (D) identified patients with disease that had not been completely resected. The results are displayed in the following table. Perform an analysis of these data in which you identify the sources of variability and specify the degrees of freedom for each. Do these data provide sufficient evidence to indicate that, on average, leucocyte counts differ among the five categories? Let α=0.01 . Write the null and alternative hypotheses of this study. Test the claim using the ANOVA Table. If you reject the null hypothesis, interpret your results using multiple comparison test Bonferroni. What assumptions must be made in part (b)? Are they…
Chocolate contains caffeine and an endogenous cannabinoid, as well as a chemical thatmodulates serotonin production; but is it an aphrodisiac, as the Mayans and Aztecs believed?Suppose you conduct a study which measures sex drive in a group of 20 women, after eating 8ounces of chocolate. Given that you have available data from the Kinsey Institute (IndianaUniversity) about the general sex drive for women of the same demographic as in your study, youdecide to compare your group to this population estimate.If testing hypotheses about the effects of chocolate on sex drive, it would be most appropriate tocalculate a ...1)Paired sampled t2)Z-test3)Independent-samples t-test 4)One- sample t-test
In a survey of 1220 adults in a country, 58% said the country's leader should release all medical information that might affect their ability to serve. The study is observational, an experiment, because it applies does not apply a treatment to the adults.
In a study examining the effect of humor on interpersonal attractions, McGee and Shevlin (2009) found that a man’s sense of humor had a significant effect on how he was perceived by women. In the study, female college students were given brief descriptions of a potential romantic partner and then rated the attractiveness of the male on a scale from 1 (low) to 7 (high). The fictitious male was described positively as being single, ambitious, and having good job prospects. In one condition, the description also said that he had a great sense of humor. The results showed that the description was rated significantly higher when “a sense of humor” was included. To examine this effect further, a researcher selected a sample of n = 16 college males and asked them to read a brief description of a female and then rate the attractiveness of the woman in the description. The description had been used in previous research but was modified by adding a statement describing a good sense of humor.…
