In particular, the researchers manipulated the race of the defendant(African American or Caucasian) and the type of abuse suffered (emotional orphysical). The dependent variable was the number of guilty verdicts. What are thedegrees of freedom associated with the chi-square analysis of these data?14.

It is given that the number of rows of the data (r) is 2 (American and Caucasian).

In a study of the effects of mood on evaluation of nutritious food, 208 subjects were randomly assigned to read either a happy story (to induce a positive mood) or a control (no story, neutral mood) group. Subjects were then asked to evaluate their attitude toward a certain food on a nine-point scale, with higher numbers indicating a more positive attitude toward the food. The following table summarizes data on the attitude rating: Group n S Positive mood 104 4.25 2.05 Neutral mood 104 5.65 1.75 Based on the evidence could we conclude that mood changes attitudes towards food? (test hypotheses at level alpha =0.05).

A U.S. study published in The American Journal of Preventive Medicine compared state-level prevalence of firearm ownership in 2002 with state-level rates of firearm assault and firearm robbery in the subsequent year. The investigators found a positive association - meaning that states with higher prevalence of firearm ownership also tended to be the states with higher rates of firearm assault. Which design best describes this study? a)Observational cohort study b)Randomized trial c)Case-control study d)Ecological study
In studies examining the effect of humor on interpersonal attractions, McGee and Shevlin (2009) found that an individual’s sense of humor had a significant effect on how the individual was perceived by others. In one part of the study, female college students were given brief descriptions of a potential romantic partner. The fictitious male was described positively as being single and ambitious and having good job prospects. For one group of participants, the description also said that he had a great sense of humor. For another group, it said that he has no sense of humor. After reading the description, each participant was asked to rate the attractiveness of the man on a seven-point scale from 1 (very unattractive) to 7 (very attractive). A score of 4 indicates a neutral rating. The females who read the “great sense of humor” description gave the potential partner an average attractiveness score of M = 4.53 with a standard deviation of s = 1.04. If the sample consisted of n = 16…

A cross-sectional study is conducted to investigate cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors among a sample of patients seeking medical care at one of three local hospitals. A total of 500500 patients are enrolled. Based on the following data, we would like to determine if there is a significant association between the family history of CVD and the enrollment site. Enrollment Site Family History of CVD Hospital 1 Hospital 2 Hospital 3 Total Yes 34 8 58 100 No 104 72 224 400 Total 138 80 282 500 Given: The value of the test statistic is χ2= 6.912 Use α=0.1 as the level of significance. The superintendent of Hospital 2 performed the Goodness of Fit Test to test whether 25% of the patients go to Hospital 1, 15% of the patients go to Hospital 2 and 60% of the patients go to Hospital 3.

In a study of the effect of mood on the evaluation of nutritious food, 208 subjects were randomly assigned to read either a happy story ( to induce positive mood) or a control (no story, neutral mood) group. Subjects were then asked to evaluate their attitude toward a certain indulgent food on a nine-point scale, with higher numbers indicating a more positive attitude toward the food. The following table summarizes the data: Group n x bar s Positive mood 104 4.25 2.15 Neutral mood 104 5.25 1.75 Test the hypotheses of no difference between two groups using a two-sample t-test. Compare p-value and α=0.05 Describe the test result.
