Exercise 4.39 describes a study to investigate whether a recorded phone call is more effective than a flyer in persuading voters to vote for a particular candidate. The response variable is the proportion of voters planning to vote for the candidate, with pc and pf representing the proportions for the two methods (receiving a phone call and receiving a flyer, respectively). The sample statistic of interest is p^c−p^f. We are testing H0 : pc = pf vs Ha : pc > pf. A randomization distribution of differences in proportions, p^c−p^f, for this test is shown in Figure 4.18. Figure 4.18 Randomization distribution using n = 1000 for testing H0 : pc = pf a) Sketch a smooth curve that roughly approximates the distribution in Figure 4.18 and shade in the proportion of the area corresponding to the p-value for the sample statistic p^c−p^f=0.3. (b) Four possible sample statistics are given, along with four possible p-values. Match the statistics with the p-values.…
A school superintendent wants to know the effects of a four week anti-bullying course on high school students. The superintendent randomly selects 200 high school students and randomly assigns 100 high school students to participate in the course. She then assigns the remaining 100 high school students to not participate in the course. At the end of the course, the superintendent will observe the students' behavior in a school setting.Which of the following methods was used in this study? A. experimental study B. randomized experiment C. observational study D. survey
What is the term for a quasi-experiment with an experimental group and a comparison group, but no random assignment? 1)Non-equivalent control group design 2)Experimental design 3)Factorial design 4)Cross-sectional design
In Exercise identify which of these designs is most appropriate for the given experiment: completely randomized design, randomized block design, or matched pairs design. West Nile Vaccine Currently, there is no approved vaccine for the prevention of West Nile virus. A clinical trial of a possible vaccine is being planned to include subjects treated with the vaccine while other subjects are given a placebo.
In Exercise identify which of these designs is most appropriate for the given experiment: completely randomized design, randomized block design, or matched pairs design. HIV Vaccine The HIV Trials Network is conducting a study to test the effectiveness of two different experimental HIV vaccines. Subjects will consist of 80 pairs of twins. For each pair of twins, one of the subjects will be treated with the DNA vaccine and the other twin will be treated with the adenoviral vector vaccine.
1. Observational studies suggest that moderate use of alcohol reduces heart attacks, and that red wine may have special benefits. One reason may be that red wine contains polyphenols, substances that do good things to cholesterol in the blood and so may reduce the risk of heart attacks. In an experiment, healthy men were assigned at random to drink half a bottle of either red or white wine each day for two weeks. The level of polyphenols in their blood was measured before and after the two week period. Here are the percent changes in level for the subjects in both groups.Red 3.5 8.1 7.4 4.0 0.7 4.9 8.4 7.0 5.5White 3.1 0.5 -3.8 4.1 -0.6 2.7 1.9 -5.9 0.1 a. Is there good evidence that red wine drinkers gain more polyphenols on average than white wine drinkers? b. Does this study give reason to think that it is drinking red wine, rather than some lurking variable, that causes the increase in blood polyphenols? Justify your answer.c. Calculate and interpret a 95% confidence interval for…
Exercise 6.28 provides data on sleep deprivation rates of Californians and Oregonians. The proportion of California residents who reported insucient rest or sleep during each of the preceding 30 days is 8.0%, while this proportion is 8.8% for Oregon residents. These data are based on simple random samples of 11,545 California and 4,691 Oregon residents. a) Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if these data provide strong evidence the rate of sleep deprivation is different for the two states. Use Oregon as Group A and California as Group B.Find the test statistic and p-value. b) It is possible the conclusion of the test in part (a) is incorrect. If this is the case, what type of error was made?
In 1940, 2,000 women working in a factory were recruited into a study. Half of the women worked in manufacturing and half in administrative offices. The incidence of bone cancer through 1970 among the 1,000 women working in manufacturing was compared with that of 1,000 women working in administrative offices. Thirty of the women in manufacturing developed bone cancer as compared to 9 of the women in administrative offices. This study is an example of a: randomized controlled trial case-control study cohort study crossover trial
A study published in 2007 by Christopher Johnson, professor of music education and music therapy at the University of Kansas, revealed that students in elementary schools who took private music lessons scored around 20 percent higher in math scores on standardized tests, compared to students who did not take private music lessons. Is this a randomized experiment or an observational study? a) Randomized experiment, since researchers gave students standardized tests. b) Observational study, since whether the student took private music lessons was not randomly assigned. c) Observational study, since math scores were not randomly assigned. d) Observational study, since this was not a random sample.
