A recent drug survey showed an increase in the use of drugs and alcohol among local high school seniors as compared to the national percent. Suppose that a survey of 100 local seniors and 100 national seniors is conducted to see if the proportion of drug and alcohol use is higher locally than nationally. Locally, 65 seniors reported using drugs or alcohol within the past month, while 60 national seniors reported using them.
An experimenter is interested in the effects of two independent variables onself-esteem. What is better about conducting a factorial experiment thanconducting two separate experiments, one for each independent variable?
A seven-year medical research study reported that women whose mothers took the drug DES during pregnancy were twice as likely to develop tissue abnormalities that might lead to cancer as were women whose mothers did not take the drug.
a. This study compared two What were the populations?
b. Do you suppose the data were obtained in a survey or an experiment?
c. For the population of women whose mothers took the drug DES during pregnancy, a sample of 3980 women showed that 63 developed tissue abnormalities that might lead to Provide a descriptive statistic that could be used to estimate the number of women out of 1000 in this population who have tissue abnormalities.
d. For the population of women whose mothers did not take the drug DES during pregnancy, what is the estimate of the number of women out of 1000 who would be expected to have tissue abnormalities?
e. Medical studies often use a relatively large sample (in this case.3980).Why?

- Researchers investigated whether elementary school students from families in need would choose healthier lunch options if offered. A random sample of students receiving free-and-reduced lunch at five different Connecticut elementary schools were offered a choice between 2 lunch options. One was a typical school lunch prepared off and warmed on campus, while the other was a healthier school lunch made on campus from a variety of fruits, vegetables, and lean protein. For each child, researchers kept track of whether or not the child selected the healthier option. The research question was whether of not the healthier option would be selected less than the typical school lunch. More specifically, we will investigate whether the sample data provide strong evidence that the heather lunch is picked less than 50% of the time? The researchers found in their sample of 294 students that 134 picked the healthier option. The value of the sample proportion who selected the candy is therefore…arrow_forwardA recent study claims that using music in a class enhances concentration and consequently helps students absorb more information. A researcherdecided to test this claim on a smaller group of randomly selected students from three different classes. Each classroom was provided with a different environment for students to study. Classroom A had constant music being played in the background, classroom B had variable music being played and classroom C was a regular class with no music playing. After one month, the researcher conducted a test for all the three groups and ranked their scores. What statistical test would be most appropriate for testing the research hypothesis?
