In Exercises 6–10, consider a clinical trial designed to determine whether daily doses of 81-mg aspirin tablets have any effect on pulse rates. One group of subjects is given daily doses of 81-mg aspirin tablets and a second group is given daily doses of placebo tablets.
- 7. The subjects do not know whether they are given aspirin or a placebo, and the evaluators who measure the pulse rates also do not know. This trial is: (a) single-blind; (b) double-blind; (c) not blinded.

3) A researcher wants to test three different techniques for lowering blood pressure in people who
have high blood pressure. The subjects are divided into three groups at random: the first group is
given medication, the second group exercises, and the third group follows a special diet. Each
person's blood pressure is measured after four weeks to see how much it has dropped. Test the
claim that there is no significant difference between the means at a=0.05.

The Lion’sMane. In a study by P. M.West titled “The Lion’s Mane” (American Scientist, Vol. 93, No. 3, pp. 226–236), the effects of the mane of a male lion as a signal of quality to mates and rivals was explored. Four life-sized dummies of male lions provided a tool for testing female response to the unfamiliar lions whose manes varied by length (long or short) andcolor (blonde or dark). The female lions were observed to see whether they approached each of the four life-sized dummies.

- A study examined the impact of THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, on various physiological and psychological variables. The study recruited a sample of 18 young adults who were habitual marijuana smokers. Participants came to the lab 3 times, each time completing the entire series of tests and questionnaire, but each time smoking a different marijuana cigarette: one with 3.9% THC, one with 1.8% THC, and one with no THC, a placebo. The order of the conditions was randomized and participants were not told how much THC was in the cigarette they smoked until after all the data were collected. This is an example of a completely randomized experiment. O a case-control observational study. an anecdotal evidence. O a matched pairs or repeated measures experiment.

One measure was how much time it took for the athletes to run to fatigue. Data similar to the results obtained in the study are shown in the following table.

- Is there a relationship between autism and what an infant is fed? To determine if there is, a researcher asked a random sample of mothers what they had fed their infant and they also recorded whether or not the child was autistic. Almost all brands of formula sold in the U.S. are now fortified with DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and ARA (arachidonic acid). The data are in the table below. Do the data provide enough evidence to show that that what an infant is fed and autism are dependent?

She conveniently sampled 100 women attending antenatal care and asked them whether they had hypertension. Of the 100 pregnant women sampled, 50 consented to take part in the study and 1 had diabetes. Based on this finding, the nurse concluded that “the prevalence of diabetes among women in the population is low (2%).” A) Do you agree with the conclusion made by the diabetic nurse?
