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?
The technology underlying hip replacements has changed as these operations havebecome more popular (over 250,000 in the United States in 2008). Starting in 2003,highly durable ceramic hips were marketed. Unfortunately, for too many patients theincreased durability has been counterbalanced by an increased incidence ofsqueaking. The May 11, 2008, issue of the New York Times reported that in one studyof 143 individuals who received ceramic hips between 2003 and 2005, 10 of the hipsdeveloped squeaking.a. Calculate a lower confidence bound at the 95% confidence level for the trueproportion of such hips that develop squeaking.b. Interpret the 95% confidence level used in (a).
The fecal occult blood test, widely used both in physicians’ offices and at home to screen patients for colon and rectal cancer, examines a patient’s stool sample for blood, a condition indicating that cancer may be present. A recent study funded by the National Cancer Institute found that of 15,000 people tested on an annual basis, 10% were found to have blood in their stools. These 10% underwent further testing, including colonoscopy, the insertion of an optical-fiber tube through the rectum in order to inspect the colon and rectum visually for direct indications of cancer. Only 2.5% of those having colonoscopy actually had cancer. Additional information in the study suggests that, of the patients who were tested, approximately 5 out of 1,000 tested negative (no blood in the stool) but eventually did develop cancer. Create a probability table that shows the relationship between blood in a stool sample and colorectal cancer. Calculate P(Cancer|Blood) and P(Cancer|No Blood). The study…
A sociologist wants to investigate the question, "Is there a relationship between texting during class and grade-point-average (GPA) among high school seniors in a large district?" Which study design is most appropriate? Before the semester starts, randomly select 40 seniors from each high school who do not text during class. Assign 20 to the texting treatment group (text three or more times during every class meeting) and 20 to the control group (no texting during class). At the end of the semester, obtain each student’s GPA from the appropriate admissions and records office. Compare the GPA of students who routinely text during class to the GPA of students who do not text during class. Before the semester starts, randomly select 40 seniors from each high school who do not text during class. Assign 20 to the texting treatment group (text three or more times during every class meeting) and 20 to the control group (no texting during class). At the end of the semester,…
To examine adolescent substance abuse, Li, Pentz, and Chou (2002) surveyed 1,807 middle school students from 57 schools. The results showed that a greater risk of adolescent substance abuse was associated with increasing numbers of parents and friends who were sub- stance abusers. However, friends’ use did not affect adolescent substance abuse when parents were nonusers. Is this an example of a research design?

Colonoscopy is a medical procedure that is designed to find and remove precancerous lesions in the colon before they become cancerous. The article “Association of Colonoscopy and Death from Colorectal Cancer” (N. Baxter, M. Goldwasser, et al., Annals of Internal Medicine, 2009:1–8) reports that in a sample of 10,292 people diagnosed with colorectal cancer, 7.0% had previously had a colonoscopy, and in a sample of 51,460 people without colorectal cancer, 9.8% had previously had a colonoscopy. Can you conclude that the percentage of people who have had colonoscopies is greater in those without colorectal cancer?
. Although there is a popular belief that herbal remedies such as Ginkgo biloba and Ginseng may improve learning and memory in healthy adults, these effects are usually not supported by wellcontrolled research (Persson, Bringlov, Nilsson, and Nyberg, 2004). In a typical study, a researcher obtains a sample of n = 16 participants and has each person take the herbal supplements every day for 90 days. At the end of the 90 days, each person takes a standardized memory test. For the general population, scores from the test form a normal distribution with a mean of μ = 50 and a standard deviation of σ = 12. The sample of research participants had an average of M = 54. Assuming a two-tailed test, state the null hypothesis in a sentence that includes the two variables being examined. Using the standard 4-step procedure, conduct a two-tailed hypothesis test with α = .05 to evaluate the effect of the supplements.
A low-level CDC bureaucrat wants to please his boss by gathering evidence that the current government mandated shut down of society is not causing people's mental health to deteriorate, so that it can safely be continued for several years if the expert says is necessary. He pulls a random sample of 1600 citizens, Gathering data on such items as income loss, weight gain, access to toilet paper, our spent binge watching Netflix, and number of injuries caused by household fight, and compiles all this into a significantly-weighted "misery index". The mean misery index from the sample is 99.2; it seems reasonable to use a population standard deviation o=19.1. A. Does this information provide significant evidence (at the 5% level) that the Nationwide mean misery index is less than 100? Set up appropriate null and alternative hypothesis, calculate the appropriate test statistic, find the p-value, and state your conclusion.
A paper in the Journal of Nervous and Mental Disorders reported the following data on the amount of dextroamphetamine excreted by a sample of children having organically related disorders and a sample of children with nonorganic disorders (dextroamphetamine is a drug commonly used to treat hyperkinetic children). Organic: 17.53, 20.60, 17.62, 28.93, 27.10 Nonorganic: 15.59, 14.76, 13.32, 12.45, 12.79 (Observations refer to percentage of recovery of the drug seven hours after its administration.) If we assume that the variances of the two groups of children are unequal, determine whether the true average percentages of recovery for the two conditions are equal at significance level 0.01
A 2017 article in The New England Journal of Medicine details the results of a randomized clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy of a rotavirus gastroenteritis vaccine designed for infants. As per the authors: “Each year, rotavirus gastroenteritis is responsible for about 37% of deaths from diarrhea among children younger than 5 years of age worldwide, with a disproportionate effect in sub-Saharan Africa. We conducted a randomized, placebo-controlled trial in Niger to evaluate the efficacy of a live, oral bovine rotavirus pentavalent vaccine (BRV-PV, Serum Institute of India) to prevent severe rotavirus gastroenteritis. Healthy infants received three doses of the vaccine or placebo at 6, 10, and 14 weeks of age. Episodes of rotavirus gastroenteritis were assessed through active and passive surveillance.” The following Kaplan-Meier curves show the time to a diagnosis of rotavirus gastroenteritis separately for the vaccine and placebo samples. Infants were followed for up to 60…
