USE THE 8-STEP HYPOTHESIS TESTING In a study by Xiao and Shi (A-14), researchers studied the effect of cranberry juice in the treatm and prevention of Helicobacter pylori infection in mice. The eradication of Helicobacter py results in the healing of peptic ulcers. Researchers compared treatment with cranberry juice to "tri therapy (amoxicillin, bismuth subcitrate, and metronidazole) in mice infected with Helicobac pylori. After 4 weeks, they examined the mice to determine the frequency of eradication of bacterium in the two treatment groups. The following table shows the results. No. of Mice with Helicobacter pylori Eradicated Yes No

Population Genetics In the study of population genetics, an important measure of inbreeding is the proportion of homozygous genotypesthat is, instances in which the two alleles carried at a particular site on an individuals chromosomes are both the same. For population in which blood-related individual mate, them is a higher than expected frequency of homozygous individuals. Examples of such populations include endangered or rare species, selectively bred breeds, and isolated populations. in general. the frequency of homozygous children from mating of blood-related parents is greater than that for children from unrelated parents Measured over a large number of generations, the proportion of heterozygous genotypesthat is, nonhomozygous genotypeschanges by a constant factor 1 from generation to generation. The factor 1 is a number between 0 and 1. If 1=0.75, for example then the proportion of heterozygous individuals in the population decreases by 25 in each generation In this case, after 10 generations, the proportion of heterozygous individuals in the population decreases by 94.37, since 0.7510=0.0563, or 5.63. In other words, 94.37 of the population is homozygous. For specific types of matings, the proportion of heterozygous genotypes can be related to that of previous generations and is found from an equation. For mating between siblings 1 can be determined as the largest value of for which 2=12+14. This equation comes from carefully accounting for the genotypes for the present generation the 2 term in terms of those previous two generations represented by for the parents generation and by the constant term of the grandparents generation. a Find both solutions to the quadratic equation above and identify which is 1 use a horizontal span of 1 to 1 in this exercise and the following exercise. b After 5 generations, what proportion of the population will be homozygous? c After 20 generations, what proportion of the population will be homozygous?
When is a researcher at risk of making a Type II error? Group of answer choices: whenever H0 is rejected whenever H1 is rejected whenever H0 fails to be rejected The risk of a Type II error is independent of the decision from a hypothesis test.
As a result of dog breeding for certain physical traits, many dog breeds have changed in the last 100 years. A dog breeder wants to measure the effects of breeding on the face length of the boxer breed using a hypothesis test. Suppose that the dog breeder has face length measurements (in inches) from a random sample of 40 female boxer dogs taken in 1915 and a random sample of 40 female boxer dogs taken in 2015. Which type of hypothesis test should the breeder use? Reference: Elegans, C. 100 Years of Breed Improvement. 2012. Dog Behavior Science.

A geneticist conducted a hybridization experiment with peas, which resulted in offspring consisting of 410 peas with green pods and 150 peas with yellow pods. According to Mendel’s theory, 1/4 of the offspring peas should have yellow pods. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of peas with yellow pods is equal to 0.25.a.

A recent clinical trial compares the use of Drug A to the standard treatment of symptomatic genital herpes. The study involves 10, 000 people with genital herpes who are randomly assigned to receive Drug A or standard treatment. Results of the trial show that the duration of symptoms in patients who received Drug A is 4 days versus 4-5 days in patients who received standard symptomatic measures (p<0.5). The manufacturer of Drug A recommends the use of Drug A in the clinical treatment of genital herpes. Based on the study’s results, which of the following is the most appropriate reason to question the manufacturer’s recommendation? a) The investigators used an inappropriate study design b) It is likely that there was a Type I error c) It is likely that there was Type II error d) The observed difference is not clinically significant e) The observed difference is not statistically significant f) There was insufficient power
In Exercises, hypothesis tests are proposed. For each hypothesis test, a.identify the variable.b.identify the two populations.c.determine the null and alternative hypotheses.d.classify the hypothesis test as two tailed, left tailed, or right tailed. Neurosurgery Operative Times. An Arizona State University professor, R. Jacobowitz, Ph.D., in consultation with G. Vishteh, M.D., and other neurosurgeons obtained data on operative times, in minutes, for both a dynamic system (Z-plate) and a static system (ALPS plate). They wanted to perform a hypothesis test to decide whether the mean operative time isless with the dynamic system than with the static system.
A researcher has a hypothesis that boys receive more allowance than girls. After conducting a t-test, the researcher failed to reject the null hypothesis and concluded that the research hypothesis was not supported. If in the population boys do receive more allowance than girls, then the researcher made (a) _______. A.Type I error B.Type II error C.No error
C) will the researcher reject the null hypothesis? a) Yes, because the test statistic falls in the critical region b) No, because the test statistic falls in the critical region c) No, because the test statistic does not fall in the critical region d) Yes, because the test statistic does not fall in the critical region
A common symptom of otitis media in young children is the prolonged presence of fluid in the middle ear, known as middle-ear effusion. The presence of fluid may result in temporary hearing loss and interfere with normal learning skills in the first 2 years of life. One hypothesis is that babies who are breastfed for at least 1 month build up some immunity against the effects of the infection and have less prolonged effusion than do bottle-fed babies. A small study of 24 pairs of babies is set up, in which the babies are matched on a one-to-one basis according to age, sex, socioeconomic status, and type of medications taken. One member of the matched pair is a breastfed baby, and the other member is a bottle-fed baby. The outcome variable is the duration of middle-ear effusion after the first episode of otitis media. The results are given in Table 9.11. 9.16 Test the hypothesis that the duration of effusion is different among breastfed babies than among bottle-fed babies using a…

The vice-president of administration wonders whether employees are taking adequate amounts of vacation time. Employee burnout is a concern. Research suggests that an employee taking less than 1.4 weeks of vacation annually is very likely to experience burnout. Analyze the employee vacation data and conduct a hypothesis test with the following results: t = 2.93p = 0.0084 What reasons should the vice-president provide to the president to justify the recommendation on employee burnout? Based on the data, is the presence of employee burnout an issue that may negatively impact the company?
