Eighteen participants took part in an experimental study that consisted of three levels: normal classroom teaching, normal classroom teaching with tutors, and an experimental teaching method to increase student scores on a statistics exam. Your data set includes the following variables:
Treatment
(1 - normal classroom teaching; 2 - normal classroom teaching with tutors; 3 - experimental teaching method)
Gender
(1 – female; 2 – male)
Pre-test score
(higher scores represent better student performance on a statistics exam)
Post-test score
(higher scores represent better student performance on a statistics exam)
Stanford-Binet Intelligence Test scores (IQ)
The number of hours the student studied per week.
Do test scores at pre-treatment differ from test scores at post-treatment? Note, this analysis should be conducted ignoring the treatment group they are in.
Select an appropriate statistical test and state teh hullhypothesis.
10.50 Recess and Wasted Food. E. Bergman et al. conducted a
study to determine, among other things, the impact that scheduling
recess before or after the lunch period has on wasted food for students in grades three through five. Results were published in the
online article “The Relationship of Meal and Recess Schedules to
Plate Waste in Elementary Schools” (Journal of Child Nutrition and
Management, Vol. 28, Issue 2). Summary statistics for the amount of
food wasted, in grams, by randomly selected students are presented
in the following table.
Lunch before recess Lunch after recess
¯ x1 = 223.1 ¯ x2 = 156.6
s1 = 122.9 s2 = 108.1
n1 = 889 n2 = 1119
At the 1% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to
conclude that, in grades three through five, the mean amount of food
wasted for lunches before recess exceeds that for lunches after recess?
Is the crime rate in New York different from the crime rate in New Jersey? Independent random samples from region A (cities in New York) and region B (cities in New Jersey) gave the following information about violent crime rate (number of violent crimes per 100,000 population).

- Determine if the given problem is a cohort study. If the study is a cohort, identify if the design is prospective or retrospective. Also, identify the exposure variable and the outcome variable. If data is provided, perform simple analysis on the data and interpret the results. If the study is not a cohort, justify it by identifying and describing the key points why it is not a cohort study. A group cooperative in City A is a consumer-owned cooperative founded in 1945. In 1978, study was done wherein women who were aged 50-64 at the time of the study were identified. 8 women were excluded from the study because of a prior history of breast cancer. Their use of conjugated estrogens was obtained using computerized prescription records. From 1978 to 1984, women hospitalized with pathologic diagnosis of fibrocystic breast disease were identified.arrow_forwardDefine the following terms a.

- Use the data cited in Exercise 5.3.1. Imagine we take samples of size 5, 25, 50, 100, and 500 from the women in this age group. (a) Calculate the standard error for each of these sampling scenarios. (b) Discuss how sample size affects the standard error estimates calculated in part (a) and the potential implications this may have in statistical practice. Exercise 5.3.1 The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey of 1988–1994 (NHANES III, A-1) estimated the mean serum cholesterol level for U.S. females aged 20–74 years to be 204 mg/dl. The estimate of the standard deviation was approximately 44. Using these estimates as the mean m and standard deviation s for the U.S. population, consider the sampling distribution of the sample mean based on samples of size 50 drawn from women in this age group. What is the mean of the sampling distribution? The standard error?arrow_forwardA president of the teachers’ union is preparing for upcoming negotiations. He is investigating the salary structure of classroom teachers in a district. He believes there are three factors that affect a teacher’s salary: years of experience, a teaching effectiveness rating given by the principal, and whether the teacher has a master’s degree (0 = no, 1 = yes). A random sample of 20 teachers resulted in the following data.

A data set from a study that examined the effect of a specific diet on blood pressure is provided on the course web page. Participants (n = 72) were randomly assigned either to a group that was put on the diet (Diet = Present) or to a group that was not put on the diet (Diet = Absent), and researchers wanted to know whether the diet had a significant impact on blood pressure. The other variables in the data set are drug (X, Y, or Z) and a biofeedback condition (present or absent), but we wish to focus on the diet effect here. Test whether there is a statistically significant difference in mean blood pressure between the diet groups. Report the appropriate test statistic, df, and p-value.

An article discusses the social forces that influence forest management policies in three Indian states: Haryana, Bihar, and Uttar Pradesh. The forest quality in Haryana is somewhat degraded, in Bihar it is very degraded, and in Uttar Pradesh it is well-stocked. In order to study the relationship between educational levels and attitudes toward forest management, random samples of adults in each of these states were surveyed and their educational levels were ascertained. The numbers of adults at each of several educational levels were recorded. The data are presented in the following table (see image). A.Find the P-value B.State a conclusion. Can you conclude that the educational levels differ among the three states?arrow_forward
