Question
To test a newly formulated protein bar designed to improve running performance, a randomized control trial was deisgn recruiting 20 distance runners. Ten participants were randomly assigned to each group (newly formula protein bar vs old bar). Thirty minutes after consuming the bar the participant ran for 2 hours on a treadmill. The distance each participant ran (in km) in each group was recorded.
The data and SAS output is below

a) What is the pooled standard deviation, sp?
b) Find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean difference in run distance for those who eat the newly formulated protein bar compared to the old protein bar.
c) Carry out the appropriate hypothesis test using a two-sided alternative - at a 0.01 significance level.

After they started to have cold symptoms, 10 of them were given multivitamin tablets formulated to fight cold symptoms. The remaining 10 volunteers were given placebo tablets. For each individual, the length of time taken to recover from the cold is recorded. At the end of the experiment the following data are obtained.

It is also known that both populations are approximately normally distributed.

Each human has individual characteristics that uniquely define who they are, but there are characteristics about the human body that have much less variability. One of these is the measurement around the calf muscle's widest part. For this dataset, N = 507 individuals in their twenties and thirties who exercised several hours each week measured around the widest part of both calf muscles and the average maximum girth in centimeters was recorded.

- Since muscle tension in the head region has been associated with tension headaches, a researcher reasoned that if the muscle tension could be changed, perhaps the headaches would also be changed. The researcher designed an experiment in which nine subjects with tension headaches participated. The subjects kept daily logs of the number of headaches they experienced during a 2-week baseline period. Then the researcher trained them to change their muscle tension in the head region, using a biofeedback device. For this experiment, the biofeedback device was connected to a muscle in the forehead region. The device indicated the subject's amount of tension in the muscle to which it was attached and helped them achieve low tension levels. After 6 weeks of training, during which the subjects became successful at maintaining low muscle tension, they again kept a 2-week log of the number of headaches experienced. The following are the number of headaches recorded during each 2-week period.…arrow_forwarduse calculator methodarrow_forwardThe Energy Information Administration reported that 51.7% of homes in the United States were heated by natural gas.
