Red Wine and Weight LossResveratrol, a compound in grapes and red wine, has been shown to promote weight loss in rodents and now in a primate.1 Lemurs fed a resveratrol supplement for four weeks had decreased food intake, increased metabolic rate, and a reduction in seasonal body-mass gain compared to a control group. Suppose a hypothetical study is done for a different primate species, with one group given a resveratrol supplement and the other group given a placebo. We wish to see if there is evidence that resveratrol increases the mean metabolism rate for this species. (This exercise presents hypothetical data. We will see the results from the actual study later in this chapter.)
(a) State the null and alternative hypotheses.Let group 1 be the species taking a resveratrol supplement and let group 2 be the species taking a placebo.
A researcher conducts an independent-measures, two factor study with two levels of factor A and two levels of factor B, using a sample of n = 8 participants in each treatment condition.
a. What are the df values for the F-ratio evaluating the main effect of factor A?
b. What are the df values for the F-ratio evaluating the main effect of factor B?
c. What are the df values for the F-ratio evaluating the interaction?
A U.S. study published in The American Journal of Preventive Medicine compared state-level prevalence of firearm ownership in 2002 with state-level rates of firearm assault and firearm robbery in the subsequent year. The investigators found a positive association - meaning that states with higher prevalence of firearm ownership also tended to be the states with higher rates of firearm assault.
Which design best describes this study?
a)Observational cohort study
b)Randomized trial
c)Case-control study
d)Ecological study

- In a study of hypnotic suggestion, 16 male volunteers were randomly allocated to a treatment groupand a control group. Each subject participated in a two-phase experimental session. In the first phase, respiration was measured while the subject was awake and at rest. In the second phase, the subject was told to imagine that he was performing muscular work, and respiration was measured again. For subjects in the treatment group, hypnosis was induced between the first and second phases; thus, the suggestion to imagine muscular work was “hypnotic suggestion” for treatment subjects and “waking suggestion” for control subjects. The table below shows the measurements of total ventilation (liters of air per minute per square meter of body area) for all 16 subjects. (a) For those being hypnotized (treatment group), test the hypotheses H0: μrest = μwork versus Ha:μrest 6= μwork, where μrest and μwork are respectively the mean total ventilation when they are atrest and when they are performing…arrow_forwardResearcher conducts an independent-measures, two-factor study with two levels of Factor A and three levels of Factor B, using a sample of N=10 participants in each treatment condition. a.

An issue of Science News (Vol. 163, No. 22, pp. 341–342) reported that the Women’s Health Initiative cast doubts on the benefit of hormone-replacement therapy. Researchers randomly divided 4532 healthy women over the age of 65 years into two groups. One group, consisting of 2229 women, received hormone-replacement therapy; the other group, consisting of 2303 women, received placebo. Over 5 years, 40 of the women receiving the hormone-replacement therapy were diagnosed with dementia, compared with 21 of those getting placebo. a. At the 5% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that healthy women over 65 years old who take hormone-replacement therapy are at greater risk for dementia than those who do not? b. Determine and interpret a 90% confidence interval for the difference in dementia risk rates for healthy women over 65 years old who take hormone-replacement therapy and those who do not.arrow_forward

Blood samples from wild, free-ranging deer were obtained via the jugular vein immediately after an intramuscular injection of succinylcholine using darts and a capture gun. Deer were bled again approximately 30 minutes after the injection and then released. The level of androgens at time of capture and 30 minutes later, measured in nanograms per milliliter (ng/ml), for 15 deers as in Table Q1. Assuming that the populations of androgen at time of injection and 30 minutes later are normally distributed:i) Find the average and standard deviation of this studyii)Determine the critical region of this problem.iii) Test at the 0.05 level of significance whether the androgen concentrations are altered after 30 minutes of restraint.arrow_forwardA research article on the effect of multitasking on grade performance describes an experiment in which 62 undergraduate business students were randomly assigned to one of two experimental groups.

Students in the second group listened to the same lecture but were not permitted to send text messages. Afterwards, students in both groups took a quiz on material covered in the lecture.

- In studies examining the effect of humor on interpersonal attractions, McGee and Shevlin (2009) found that an individual’s sense of humor had a significant effect on how the individual was perceived by others. In one part of the study, female college students were given brief descriptions of a potential romantic partner. The fictitious male was described positively as being single and ambitious and having good job prospects. For one group of participants, the description also said that he had a great sense of humor. For another group, it said that he has no sense of humor. After reading the description, each participant was asked to rate the attractiveness of the man on a seven-point scale from 1 (very unattractive) to 7 (very attractive). A score of 4 indicates a neutral rating. The females who read the “great sense of humor” description gave the potential partner an average attractiveness score of M = 4.53 with a standard deviation of s = 1.04.

- A case–control study of patients on antihypertensive drugs related an increased risk of myocardial infarction (MI) for patients using calcium channel blockers (Psaty, et al.,1995). In this study, cases were antihypertensive drug patients who had suffered a first fatal or nonfatal MI through 1993, and controls were antihypertensive patients, matched by demographic factors, who had not suffered a MI. Among the comparisons reported were patients receiving calcium channel (CC) blockers (with and without diuretics) and patients receiving β–blockers (with and without diuretics). Results of numbers of patient by drug/MI status combination are given in Table 1. Compute the odds ratio of suffering MI (CC blockers relative to β–blockers), and the corresponding 95% CI. Does it appear that calcium channel blockers are associated with higher odds (and thus probability) of suffering MI than β –blockers?

According to results obtained by Elbel, Gyamfi, and Kersh(2011), the answer is no. The researchers monitoredthe calorie content of food purchases for children andadolescents in four large fast-food chains before andafter mandatory labeling began in New York City. Although most of the adolescents reported noticing thecalorie labels, apparently the labels had no effect ontheir choices. Data similar to the results obtained showan average of M = 786 calories per meal with s =85 for n =100 children and adolescents before thelabeling, compared to an average of M = 772 calorieswith s = 91 for a similar sample of n = 100 after themandatory posting.a.

On average, public transportation was delayed 105 seconds under the timed system and 44 seconds under the flexible system. Since this is a matched pairs experiment, we are interested in the difference in times between the two methods for each of the 24 simulations. For the n = 24 differences D, we saw in Exercise 2.155 that x‾D=61 seconds with sD = 15.19 seconds. We wish to estimate the average time savings for public transportation on this stretch of road if the city of Dresden moves to the new system. d) If we create a bootstrap distribution using many of these bootstrap statistics, what shape do we expect it to have and where do we expect it to be…arrow_forward
