researcher would like to examine the effect of fertilizer on flower growth. She obtains several flowers. She randomly assigns half the plants to the no fertilizer condition. The other half of the plants receive fertilizer. She monitors their growth for a month. She then compares the amount of growth of the two sets of plants. Is there a difference in growth between the no fertilizer and the fertilizer conditions? Use the .05 level of significance. In addition, find Cohen’s d and state what the effect size is in a sentence.

This was a question on my homework and I would like to know if I answered it correctly. Thank you for your help.
A case-control study is conducted to assess the relationship between heavy alcohol use during the first trimester of pregnancy and miscarriage. Fifty women who suffered miscarriage are enrolled along with 50 who delivered full term. Each participant’s use of alcohol during pregnancy is ascertained. Heavy drinking is defined as 4 or more drinks on one occasion. The data are shown below.

Compute the odds of miscarriage in women with heavy alcohol use in pregnancy.
14/4 = 3.5
Compute the odds of miscarriage in women with no heavy alcohol use in pregnancy.
36/46 = .78
Compute the odds ratio for miscarriage as a function of heavy alcohol use.
PPex= 14/100 = .14. PPunex= 36/100 = .36.
.14(1-.14)/.36(1-.36) = .52

- Recent research indicates that the effectiveness of antidepressant medication is directly related to the severity of the depression (Khan, Brodhead, Kolts & Brown, 2005). Based on pretreatment depression scores, patients were divided into four groups based on their level of depression. After receiving the antidepressant medication, depression scores were measured again and the amount of improvement was recorded for each patient. The following data are similar to the results of the study. F-ratio: Low Moderate p-value: 2.2 3.1 0.6 2.6 0.5 0 High Moderate 1.5 2.1 3.3 2.3 2.1 4.6 Moderately Severe 2.7 4.7 4.7 4.6 3.7 3.3 From this table, conduct ANOVA. Calculate the F-ratio and p-value.
