Fifteen adult males between the ages of 35 and 50 participated in a study to evaluate the effect of diet and exercise on blood cholesterol levels. The total cholesterol was measured in each subject initially and then three months after participating in an aerobic exercise program and switching to a low-fat diet. The data are shown in the following table.
Age and obesity are the two strongest risk factors for treatment resistant hypertension (TRH), prompting many doctors to predict that as our population ages and gets heavier, the incidence of this unhealthy condition will increase. Suppose you have a new drug that you think will reduce TRH. Seven patients who have been diagnosed with high blood pressure volunteer for your study. They have their diastolic pressure measured before they take the drug, and after the drug has been administered and has had time to have an effect. The table below shows the result of your study.
Does your new drug reduce blood pressure? Use alpha =.05.
Identify the Independent variable and the dependent variable in the study.
State the Null hypothesis and the alternative hypotheses.
Using APA format, report your findings using the variables in the study.

The glycemic index (GI) is a rating system for foods containing carbohydrates. It shows how quickly each food affects your blood sugar (glucose) level when that food is eaten on its own.
A random sample of 33 children were provided with a breakfast of low GI foods on one day and high GI foods on another. The two breakfasts contained the same quantities of carbohydrate, fat and protein. On each day a buffet lunch was provided, and the number of calories eaten at lunchtime were recorded. On the first day the children ate a low GI breakfast and on the second day a high GI breakfast.
Let be the true mean of the differences in calorie intake for a high GI and a low GI breakfast, respectively. The researcher wants to conduct inference on to determine whether the kind of breakfast eaten has an effect on mean calorie intake. The differences are calculated as calorie intake after high-GI breakfast minus calorie intake after low-GI breakfast. The sample mean of the differences of 63.543…

- Monoamine oxidase (MAO) is an enzyme that is thought to play a role in the regulation of behavior. To see whether different categories of patients with schizophrenia have different levels of MAO activity, researchers collected blood specimens from 42 patients and measured the MAO activity in the platelets.

You collected data on 1855 patients who were taking Tamiflu to relieve symtoms of the flu, and found that 705 experienced nausea.

One sample of migraine sufferers received a placebo pill (0 milligrams of the drug) every day for a month. A second sample received a 10-mg dose of the drug daily for a month, and a third sample received daily doses of 20-mg. The number of headaches each person had during the month was recorded. The results are summarized in the following table: What is the independent variable (IV)? How many levels do we have for the IV? What is the level of measurement for the IV? What is the DV (remember, the DV is the data)? What is the level of measurement of the DV? What is the best graph to display this data? Explain.

From the records of seasonal blood survey (SBS) results he came to understand that the proportion of people having malaria in Zambia was 3.8% in 2015. The size of the sample considered was 15,000. He also realized that during the year that followed (2016), blood samples were taken from 10,000 randomly selected persons. The result of the 2016 seasonal blood survey showed that 200 persons were positive for malaria. Help the Health officer in testing the hypothesis that the malaria situation of 2016 did not show any significant difference from that of 2015 (take the 5% level of significance).arrow_forward
