Researchers at an Alzheimer's institute are interested in the relationship between sleep apnea and early onset of senile dementia. In order to test this presumed relationship, researchers enrolled a group of participants from their patient database and observed both their performance on the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) to diagnose the outcome, and an in- house sleep study to determine their apnea hypopnea index (AHI) score. Patients meeting a specific threshold for both score categories were then put into the following 2x2 table. Early onset of senile dementia No early onset of senile dementia Total Sleep Apnea Positive 67 301 368 Sleep Apnea Negative 40 303 343 Total 107 604 711 Round the following numbers to the 3rd decimal place. a. The prevalence (risk) ratio (same equation as relative risk) of dementia for sleep apnea vs, no sleep apnea is | b. The odds ratio of dementia for sleep apnea vs. no sleep apnea is c. The natural logarithm of the odds ratio is d. The standard error of the natural log of odds ratio is e. The 95% confidence interval of the odds ratio is Enter integers for question f. f.

Does posting calorie content for menu items affectpeople’s choices in fast-food restaurants? According to results obtained by Elbel, Gyamfi, and Kersh(2011), the answer is no. The researchers monitoredthe calorie content of food purchases for children andadolescents in four large fast-food chains before andafter mandatory labeling began in New York City. Although most of the adolescents reported noticing thecalorie labels, apparently the labels had no effect ontheir choices. Data similar to the results obtained showan average of M = 786 calories per meal with s =85 for n =100 children and adolescents before thelabeling, compared to an average of M = 772 calorieswith s = 91 for a similar sample of n = 100 after themandatory posting.a. Use a two-tailed test with a = .05 to determinewhether the mean number of calories after theposting is significantly different than before caloriecontent was posted.b. Calculate r2to measure effect size for the mean difference.
A researcher is interested in the reaction time of students and how it impacts their performance. To test this relationship, he asks 50 students to complete an online test and records their reaction times and scores. However, he notes that their responses are sensitive to their internet speed, meaning students with quick reaction times but slow internet speed may not perform up to expectations on the test, leading to unnecessary noise. In an independent groups design, what would this type of variability in test performance be called? SSSubjects SSError SSTreatment SSTotal
During the Covid crisis, there were lockdowns and working-from-home, which made collecting data on unemployment more challenging. Researchers from Heriot Watt University conducted a survey of 400 individuals in the labour force to assess rise in unemployment in September 2020. The object was to find out whether the unemployment rate had risen above a benchmark proportion of 6 per cent of the labour force in Malaysia. Of the surveyed persons, 34 reported being unemployed in the week prior to the survey. Conduct a two-tailed test of whether unemployment rate during this period was 6 per cent. Set out your null and alternative hypotheses, significance level, test statistic, assumptions and sampling distribution clearly. Conduct the test and comment on the economic significance of the findings
The director of an obesity clinic in a large northwestern city believes that drinking soft drinks contribute to obesity in children. To determine whether a relationship exists between these two variables, she conducts the following pilot study. Eight- 12-year-old male volunteers are randomly selected from children attending a local junior high school. Parents of the children are asked to monitor the number of soft drinks consumed by their child over a one week period. The children are weighed at the end of the week and their weights converted into body mass index (BMI) values. The BMI is a common index used to measure obesity and takes into account both height and weight. An individual is considered obese if they have a BMI value 30. The following data or collected: child. # of soft drinks consumed BMI 1 3 20 2 1 18 3…
In a study to determine if using low-intensity laser therapy reduces pain for orthodontic patients who are fitted with new braces, patients were randomly assigned to either a control group (who did not receive laser treatment) or an experimental group who did receive laser treatment.† The researchers found that the mean pain rating was lower for those in the laser treatment group than for those in the control group both two days and six days after receiving braces. The researchers used these data to determine if there was evidence to support the claim that the mean pain rating is lower for patients who receive the laser treatment. Answer the four key questions.

It turns out that the survey study at the U of M sampled students from a single student residence hall. Explain why sampling students from a single residence hall would have an impact on the external validity of the study.
A smartphone manufacturer is so certain of its quality control that it offers a complete replacement warranty if the smartphone fails within 3 years. Based upon compiled data, the company notes that there is a 2 percent chance that its smartphone will fail during the first year, a 10 percent chance that a smartphone that survives the first year fails during the second year, and a 20 percent chance that a smartphone that survives the first two years fails during the third year. The warranty does not cover replacement smartphones after the third year. (a) Formulate the evolution of the status of the smartphone as a Markov Chain whose states include two abosrbing states that involve needing to honor the warranty or having the smartphone survive the warranty period. Construct the transition probability matrix and draw the transition probability diagram. (b) Determine the probability that: (a) the manufacturer will have to honor the warranty and (b) the manufacturer will not…
A consumer advocacy group wanted to study whether different airline carriers differed in terms of their delayed flights. In particular, the researchers were interested in the relationship between p1, the proportion of Alpha Airlines flights that were delayed at least 15 minutes, and p2, the proportion of Beta Airlines flights that were delayed at least 15 minutes. A random sample of 1,000 Alpha flights and a separate random sample of 1,000 Beta flights found that 67 of the Alpha fights and 160 of the Beta flights were delayed at least 15 minutes. The conditions for inference were checked and verified. Does this set of samples provide strong evidence that Alpha Airlines has a smaller proportion of flights that are delayed at least 15 minutes than Beta Airlines, at the α = 0.05 significance level? Find the z-table here. A. The test statistic is z = –6.56 and the P-value ≈ 0. Since the P-value ≈ 0 < 0.05, there is not sufficient evidence that Alpha Airlines has fewer delayed…
Do less agreeable Facebook users tend to spend more time on Facebook? A study (Ivcevic and Ambady, 2013) aimed to investigate various facets of use of the social networking website Facebook. Previous research suggested that individuals with poorer face-to-face social skills may find internet-based social platforms less daunting, so as part of the study Ivcevic and Ambady investigated whether an individual's volume of Facebook use was associated with levels of "agreeableness". The subjects were 99 university students who all had a Facebook page. The subjects agreed to allowing the content of their Facebook pages to be downloaded on six separate occasions over a three-week period. As part of the data gathered on each subject, each of the 99 were individually rated by a selected friend on an "agreeableness" scale (based on average ratings on a questionnaire where all responses were on a Likert scale), with 1 being "low" and 5 "high". We consider here the relationship between "friend…

Since its removal from the banned substances list in 2004 by the World Anti-Doping Agency,caffeine has been used by athletes with the expectancy that it enhances their workout andperformance. However, few studies look at the role caffeine plays in sedentary females.Researchers at the University of Western Australia conducted a test in which they determined therate of energy expenditure (kilojoules) on 10 healthy, sedentary females who were nonregularcaffeine users. Each female was randomly assigned either a placebo or caffeine pill (6mg/kg) 60minutes prior to exercise. The subject rode an exercise bike for 15 minutes at 65% of theirmaximum heart rate, and the energy expenditure was measured. The process was repeated on aseparate day for the remaining treatment. The mean difference in energy expenditure (caffeine –placebo) was 18kJ with a standard deviation of 19kJ. If we assume that the differences follow anormal distribution can it be concluded that that caffeine appears to increase…
Researchers were interested in comparing the long-term psychological effects on dieters who were on a high-carbohydrate, low-fat (LF) diet with those on a high-fat, low-carbohydrate (LC) diet. A total of 106 overweight and obese participants were randomly assigned to one of these two energy-restricted diets. At 52 weeks a total of 32 LC dieters and 33 LF dieters remained. Mood was assessed using a total mood disturbance score (TMDS), where a lower score is associated with a less negative mood. A summary of these results follows (image attached): (a) Is there a difference in the TMDS at Week 52? Test the null hypothesis that the dieters’ average mood in the two groups is the same. Use a significance level of 0.05. (b) Critics of this study focus on the specific LC diet (that is, the science) and the dropout rate. Explain why the dropout rate is important to consider when drawing conclusions from this study.
