A physiologist believes he has discovered a new steroid hormone that can control the blood glucose in mammals. In an experiment he injects laboratory rats with a small amount of this steroid hormone and, after a suitable waiting period measures the blood glucose level of the rats. In his twelve experimental rats he obtains the following levels of blood glucose {35,36,37,33,34,35,33,35,37,36,34,35}. From previous studies of thousands of normal, unmanipulated rats he knows that the mean (mu) blood glucose level in this species of rat (his laboratory population) is 31 and that the standard deviation is 4.12. Evaluate the hypothesis that this new steroid hormone affects blood glucose levels. Use an alpha-level of 0.01 for this analysis. Find the critical value:

In his twelve experimental rats he obtains the following levels of blood glucose {35,36,37,33,34,35,33,35,37,36,34,35}. From previous studies of thousands of normal, un-manipulated rats he knows that the mean (mu) blood glucose level in this species of rat (his laboratory population) is 31 and that the standard deviation is 4.12. Evaluate the hypothesis that this new steroid hormone decreases blood glucose levels. Use an alpha-level of 0.01 for this analysis.

A nutritionist believes that obesity is more prevalent among American adults than it was in the past. He discovers that in a study conducted in the year 1994, 380 of the 1630 randomly chosen adults were classified as obese. However, in a more recent study, he finds 726 out of 2350 randomly chosen adults were classified as obese. At α = 0.05, do these studies provide evidence to support the nutritionist's claim that the proportion of obese adults has significantly increased since 1994?
A physiologist believes he has discovered a new steroid hormone that can affect the blood glucose in reptiles. In an experiment he injects turtles with a small amount of this steroid hormone and, after a suitable waiting period measures the blood glucose level of the turtles. In his sixteen experimental turtles he obtains the following levels of blood glucose {2, 1, 3, 5, 2, 1, 1, 5, 3, 2, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 5}. From previous studies of thousandsof normal, un-manipulated turtles he knows that the mean (μ) blood glucose level in this species of turtle (his laboratory population) is 3. Evaluate the hypothesis that this new steroid hormone affects blood glucose levels. Use an α-level of 0.01 for this analysis. D) Find the critical value: E) Calculate the obtained statistic: F) Make a decision: G) What does your decision mean? Please show step-by-step how you solved each problem. In addition, please explain in words how you calculated the obtained statistic.

Another researcher also decides to conduct a study to observe the association between smoking cessation among long-term smokers and obesity since it has been previously well documented in the literature that smokers tend to gain weight when they stop smoking. The researcher notes that among the individuals who gain weight, many of them have developed heart problems or other medical problems that typically prevent them from exercising as much as their counterparts. In this case the researcher notes that individuals who have developed the heart problems or other medical problems causing them to gain weight also came from family with a high prevalence of risk-taking behaviors so they consume unhealthy diets and are less likely to exercise in general than their counterparts. This is an example of which of the following? Multilpe Choice Confounding Effect modification Recall bias Socially desirable response bias
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…

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
According to one survey taken a few years ago, 32% of American households have attempted to reduce their long-distance phone bills by switching long-distance companies. Suppose that business researchers want to test to determine if this figure is still accurate today by taking a new survey of 80 American households who have tried to reduce their long-distance bills. Suppose further that of these 80 households, 23% say they have tried to reduce their bills by switching long-distance companies. Is this result enough evidence to state that a significantly different proportion of American households are trying to reduce long-distance bills by switching companies? Let α = .01.
