In an article "Shelf-Space Strategy in Retailing", published in Proceedings: Southern Marketing Association, the effect of shelf height on the supermarket sales of canned dog food is investigated. An experiment was conducted at a small supermarket for a period of 8 days on the sales of a single brand of dog food, referred to as Arf dog food, involving three levels of shelf height: knee level, waist level, and eye level. During each day, the shelf height of the canned dog food was randomly changed on three different occasions. The remaining sections of the gondola that housed the given brand were filled with a mixture of dog food brands that were both familiar and unfamiliar to customers in this geographic area. Sales, in hundreds of dollars, of Arf dog food per day for the three shelf heights are given. Based on the data, is there a significant difference in the average daily sales of this dog food based on shelf height? Use a 0.01 level of significance.

In the book Business Research Methods (5th ed.), Donald R. Cooper and C. William Emory discuss studying the relationship between on-the-job accidents and smoking. Cooper and Emory describe the study as follows: Suppose a manager implementing a smoke-free workplace policy is interested in whether smoking affects worker accidents. Since the company has complete reports of on-the-job accidents, she draws a sample of names of workers who were involved in accidents during the last year. A similar sample from among workers who had no reported accidents in the last year is drawn. She interviews members of both groups to determine if they are smokers or not. The sample results are given in the following table. On-the-Job Accident Smoker Yes No Row Total Heavy 12 5 17 Moderate 9 10 19 Nonsmoker 13 17 30 Column total 34 32 66 Expected counts are below observed counts Accident No Accident Total Heavy 12 5 17 8.76 8.24…
In a research to study the gender differences in receiving Lidocaine therapy in Acure Myocardial infarction (AMI) patients older than 75 years who have a history of hypertension and strokes, there were 81 patients in total (30 males and 51 females). The following table provides the outcomes. Therapy Gender Receive Not receive Total Male 8 22 30 Female 16 35 51 Total 24 57 81 According to the hypothesis that there is no association between receive Lidocaine therapy and gender, what does the minimum expected cell count in this table? Based on the answer to part a, which test should you use to test the hypothesis of no association between receive Lidocaine therapy and gender? Test the hypothesis whether the receiving Lidocaine therapy is independent of their gender at .05 significance level. Find the critical value and p-value, respectively.

Based on a survey of 12,344 U.S. college students and 6,729 Canadian college students, Kuo, Adlaf, Lee, Gliksman, Demers, and Wechsler (2002) report that alcohol use is more common among Canadian than U.S. students, but heavy drinking (five or more drinks in a row for males, four or more for females) is significantly higher among U.S. students than Canadian students. Is this an example of a survey research design?
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
Suppose that, as part of a research methods class, Bailey was asked to write a summary of a research paper on the topic of the effects of oil contamination in soil on seed germination rates. Identify the explanatory and the response variables.
An automotive engineer is investigating two different types of metering devices for an electronic fuel injection system to determine whether they differ in their fuel mileage performance. The system is installed on 10 different cars, and a test is run with each metering device on each car. The data is provided below: Metering Device Car 1 2 1 17.6 16.8 2 19.4 20.0 3 18.2 17.6 4 17.1 16.4 5 15.3 16.0 6 15.9 15.9 7 16.3 16.5 8 18.0 18.4 9 17.3 16.4 10 19.1 20.1 Is there a significant difference between the means of the two metering devices?

An article in the journal Hazardous Waste and Hazardous Materials (Vol. 6, 1989) reported the results of an analysis of the weight of calcium in standard cement and cement doped with lead. Reduced levels of calcium would indicate that the hydration mechanism in the cement is blocked…
In its January 25, 2012, issue, the Journal of the American Medical Association reported on the effects of overconsumption of low, normal, and high protein diets on weight gain, energy expenditure, and body composition. Researchers conducted a single blind, randomized controlled trial of 25 U.S. adults. The subjects were healthy, weight-stable, male and female volunteers, aged 18 to 35 years. All subjects consumed a weight-stabilizing diet for 13 to 25 days. Afterwards, the researchers randomly assigned participants to diets containing various percentages of energy from protein: 5% (low protein), 15% (normal protein), or 25% (high protein). The subjects were not aware of the specific protein level diet to which they were assigned. On these diets the researchers overfed the participants during the last 8 weeks of their 10 to 12 week stay in the inpatient metabolic unit. The goal was to investigate the effect of overconsumption of protein on weight gain, energy expenditure, and body…
In the COVID-19 data set, there are several questions that participants answer about the reactions of their government to the pandemic, as well as questions about their own well-being, in terms of measures of distress, such as anxiety and depression. This data was collected quite early in the pandemic, near the beginning of the first wave in late March. One might ask whether how one viewed their government might affect one's concerns about the health of their family and themselves. What type of procedure might you use to see whether there was an association between attitudes towards governtment and worries about health?
