A researcher hypothesizes that the lowering in cholesterol associated with weight loss is really due to exercise. To test this, the researcher carefully controls for exercise while comparing the cholesterol levels of a group of subjects who lose weight by dieting with a control group that does not diet. The difference between groups in cholesterol is not significant. Can the researcher claim that weight loss has no effect?
A random sample of 100 freshman showed 6 had satisfed the university mathematics requirement and a second random sample of 50 sophomores showed that 13 had satisfied the university mathematics requirement. Enter answers below rounded to three decimal places. (a) The relative risk of having satisfied the university mathematics requirement for sophomores as compared to freshmen is (b) The increased risk of having satisfied the university mathematics requirement for sophomores as compared to freshmen is
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 the past decades, there have been intensive antismoking campaigns sponsored by both federal and private agencies. In one study of national smoking trends, two random samples of U.S. adults were selected in different years. The first sample, taken in 1995, involved 4302 adults, of which 1642 were smokers. The second sample, taken in 2010, involved 3908 adults, of which 1415 were smokers. The samples are to be compared to determine whether the proportion of U.S. adults that smokes declined during the 15-year period between the samples. Let p1 be the proportion of all U.S. adults that smoked in 1995. Let p2 denote the proportion of all U.S. adults that smoked in 2010. The value of the z statistic for testing equality of the proportion of smokers in 1995 and 2010 is: Answer:
A simple random sample of heights of 6400Englishmen has a mean of 67.85 inches and SD 2.56 inches, while a simple random sample of heights of 1600 Australians has a mean of 68.55 inches and SD of 2.52 inches. D the data indicate that Australians are, on the average, taller than Englishmen?
A researcher is trying to determine whether exposure to solvents is associated with the risk of liver cancer. From a cohort study of industrial workers, they found that three persons who worked with solvents developed liver cancer and 104 did not. Two cases of liver cancer occurred among non-exposed workers in the same type of industry. The remaining 601 non-exposed workers did not develop liver cancer. Calculate the relative risk.
Based on research with her patients, Dr. Sabine knows that the correlation coefficient between scores on an anxiety scale and comfort at a social gathering is –0.35. If the critical value for r is 0.330, what should she conclude? a. The null hypothesis should be retained. b. Scores on the anxiety scale are significantly related to feelings of comfort in a social gathering. c. Scores on the anxiety scale are not significantly related to feelings of comfort in a social gathering. d. Scores on the anxiety scale are causally related to feelings of comfort in a social gathering.
Research done at the Harvard School of Public Health showed that regular soda drinkers may have a tendency toward the weak and brittle bones associated with osteoporosis. They surveyed 2,622 women who were active athletes in college and classified them as to whether they regularly drank soft drinks or rarely drank soft drinks. The proportion of women in each group who suffered from bone fractures was determined. The findings: those who regularly drank soft drinks were twice as likely to suffer from bone fractures as those who rarely drank soft drinks. Source: Health and Fitness News Service, August 21, 1996. a. Was this an observational study or an experiment? Explain.b. What is the population under study?c. What was the explanatory variable?d. What was the response variable?e. What are some possible confounding variables in this study?
According to recent UN figures, the annual gun homicide rate is 62.4 per one mil- lion residents in the US and 1.3 per one million residents in Britain. Compare the proportion of residents killed annually by guns using the (a) difference of propor- tions, (b) relative risk. Which measure is more useful for describing the strength of association? Why?
A researcher hypothesizes that there is a positive correlation between the hours spent studying and the final exam score. They collect data from 20 students and compute the Pearson correlation coefficient, r, to be 0.75. Using a significance level of 0.05, test the hypothesis that there is a significant correlation between the hours spent studying and the final exam score.
Previous research has established that nationwide, for older adults, the average score on the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) is 8.13 with σ = 1.56. A researcher working in a nursing home wants to know if depression levels are different for older adults living in a nursing home compared to older adults nationwide. He takes a random sample of 200 adults living in a nursing home facility and gives them each the BDI-II. The average for his sample is 8.45. Is there a difference in the BDI-II scores of those living in a nursing home compared to those living in their own homes? Test with an a = 0.01.
A study reported in the Journal of Small Business Management concluded that self-employed individuals do not experience higher job satisfaction than individuals who are not self-employed. In this study, job satisfaction is measured using 18 items, each of which is rated using a Likert-type scale with 1–5 response options ranging from strong agreement to strong disagreement. A higher score on this scale indicates a higher degree of job satisfaction. The sum of the ratings for the 18 items, ranging from 18–90, is used as the measure of job satisfaction. Suppose that this approach was used to measure the job satisfaction for lawyers, physical therapists, cabinetmakers, and systems analysts. The results obtained for a sample of 10 individuals from each profession follow. At the ɑ = .05 level of significance, test for any difference in the job satisfaction among the four professions.
