By accident, Janae has been making decaffeinated coffee for her co-workers for the entire week. But some of her co-workers have claimed that the extra boost of caffeine has helped them focus on their work. What does the placebo effect mean in this specific situation? a.) The benefit is the result of the "control" (coffee, although decaffeinated) and not an effect of the "active ingredient" (caffeine). b.) The benefit is the result of the fact that the "treatment" (coffee, although decaffeinated) contains another "active ingredient" besides caffeine. c.) The benefit is due to the fact that the co-workers are given a "treatment" (coffee, although decaffeinated) and not an effect of the "active ingredient" (caffeine). d.) The co-workers get a benefit from the "treatment" (coffee, although decaffeinated) since they also drink coffee at the coffee shop across the street during breaks.

A group of college students believes that herbal tea has remarkable restorative powers. To test their theory, they make weekly visits to a local nursing home, visiting with residents, talking with them, and serving them herbal tea. After several months, many of the residents are more cheerful and healthy. (a) Which of the following may be correctly concluded from this study? A. Herbal tea does improve one's emotional state, at least for the residents of nursing homes. B. The results of the study are not convincing because the effect of herbal tea is confounded with several other factors. C. The results of the study are not convincing because only a local nursing home was used and only for a few months. D. There is some evidence that herbal tea may improve one's emotional state. The results would be completely convincing if a scientist had conducted the study rather than a group of college students. (b) The lurking variable in this experiment is A. the emotional state of the residents.…
To determine the effectiveness of an oil additive, a testing firm purchased two cars of the same make, year, and model, and drove each a distance of 30,000 miles using the same kind of gasoline, the same kind of oil, the same driver, under the same road conditions. The oil in one engine included the additive, whereas the oil in the other engine did not. At the end of the test, the engines of both cars were dismantled, and it was found that the engine that contained the additive had less wear. The testing firm concluded that the oil additive caused the reduced wear.
A hypothetical study looks at the effect of drinking alcohol on health. Across all genders and age groups, people who do not drink tend to be healthier on average than people who do drink. However, people who drink regularly are on average healthier than those people who have recently stopped drinking. Is it reasonable to conclude that for the sake of health, we should not start drinking, but if we have already started drinking alcohol, it is healthier to continue and not to stop?
Researchers wanted to determine whether fence lizards learned to avoid fire ants. To determine this, they gathered lizards from eastern Arkansas (where there were no fire ants), and from southern Alabama (which had been invaded by fire ants). The lizards were then exposed to fire ants, and researchers measured how long (in seconds) it took the lizards to flee. The researchers observed that the lizards from Alabama had an average response time of 32 seconds, and the lizards from Arkansas had an average response time of 44 seconds. Using this, which of the following is closest to the P-value for this hypothesis test? Choice 1:0.5 Choice 2:0.005 Choice 3:0.05 Choice 4:1 Choice 5:0.01 Which is the correct choice and why?
In a winter with a flu epidemic, a well-known pharmaceutical company studied 2,000 babies to determine if the company's new drug was effective after two days. Among 120 babies who had the flu and were given the drug, 29 were cured within two days. Among 280 babies who had the flu but were not given the drug, 56 were cured within two days. Is there any significant indication to support the company's claim of the drug's effectiveness? Note:The exercise in the image is the original, it is in Spanish, but it is easy to understand.
Second-Hand Smoke: Data Set 12 “Passive and Active Smoke” in Appendix B includes cotinine levels measured in a group of nonsmokers exposed to tobacco smoke (n = 40, Mean = 60.58 ng>mL, s = 138.08 ng>mL) and a group of nonsmokers not exposed to tobacco smoke (n = 40, Mean = 16.35 ng>mL, s = 62.53 ng>mL). Cotinine is a metabolite of nicotine, meaning that when nicotine is absorbed by the body, cotinine is produced. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that nonsmokers exposed to tobacco smoke have a higher mean cotinine level than nonsmokers not exposed to tobacco smoke. Construct the confidence interval appropriate for the hypothesis test in part a. What do you conclude about the effects of second-hand smoke?

Researchers at the University of Houston decided to test the hypothesis that restaurant servers who squat to the level of their customers would receive a larger tip (“Effect of Server Posture on Restaurant Tipping,” Journal of Applied Social Psychology [1993]: 678–685). In the experiment, the waiter would flip a coin to deter- mine whether he would stand or squat next to the table. The waiter would record the amount of the bill and of the tip and whether he stood or squatted.a. Describe the treatments and the response variable. b. Discuss possible extraneous variables and how theycould be controlled.c. Discuss whether blocking would be necessary.d. Identify possible confounding variables.e. Discuss the role of random assignment in thisexperiment.
A survey among the workers in a large manufacturing company was taken, in order to findout from which company the workers had purchased their mobile phones, and to find outwhether the choice of mobile phone company was related to the type of worker. The resultsare shown in the table below. ls there evidence, at 5% level, that the choice of Phone Company is independent of the type ofworker?
A test of body reaction to the Malaysian citizens who have taken their vaccine was conducted. Selected citizens who got side effect are categorised according to their blood type and the type of vaccine received. From a sample of 250 citizens, 150 of them were administered with Sinovac while the rest received AstraZeneca. Table 4 shows the number of citizens who had side effect after being vaccinated. Type of vaccine Blood type A B AB O Sinovac 50 M 50 20 AstraZeneca 30 20 20 N Does different blood type among people who had side effect relate to the type of vaccinereceived at A=0.025?
