The effect of a restricted diet in the treatment of autistic children was examined in the paper “Gluten, Milk Proteins, and Autism: Dietary Intervention Effects on Behavior and Peptide Secretion” (Journal of Applied Nutrition [1991]: 1–8). Ten children with autistic syndrome participated in the study. Peptide secretion was measured before diet restrictions and again after a period of restricted diet. The resulting data follow.
Do these data suggest that the restricted diet was successful in reducing

- Angioplasty is a medical procedure in which an obstructed blood vessel is widened. In some cases, a wire mesh tube, called a stent, is placed in the vessel to help it remain open. The article “Long-term Outcomes of Patients Receiving Drug-eluting Stents” (A. Philpott, D. Southern, et al., Canadian Medical Association Journal, 2009:167–174) presents the results of a study comparing the effectiveness of a bare metal stent with one that that has been coated with a drug designed to prevent reblocking of the vessel. A total of 5320 patients received bare metal stents, and of these, 841 needed treatment for reblocking within a year. A total of 1120 received drug coated stents, and 134 of them required treatment within a year. a) Find a 98% confidence interval for the differences between the proportions for drug coated stents and bare metal stents. b) Suppose that additional patients are to be treated in order to increase the precision of the confidence interval.

As part of the training, participants walked in time to music and responded to changes in the music's rhythm during a 1-hour per week exercise program. After 6 months, participants in the training group increased their walking speed and their stride length compared to individuals in the control group. The following data are similar to the results obtained in the study. Do the results indicate a significant difference in the stride length for the two groups? Use a two-tailed test with α = 0.05.

- In its January 25, 2012, issue, the Journal of the American Medical Association reported on the effects of overconsumption of low, normal, and high protein diets on weight gain, energy expenditure, and body composition. Researchers conducted a single blind, randomized controlled trial of 25 U.S. adults. The subjects were healthy, weight-stable, male and female volunteers, aged 18 to 35 years. All subjects consumed a weight-stabilizing diet for 13 to 25 days. Afterwards, the researchers randomly assigned participants to diets containing various percentages of energy from protein: 5% (low protein), 15% (normal protein), or 25% (high protein). The subjects were not aware of the specific protein level diet to which they were assigned. On these diets the researchers overfed the participants during the last 8 weeks of their 10 to 12 week stay in the inpatient metabolic unit. The goal was to investigate the effect of overconsumption of protein on weight gain, energy expenditure, and body…arrow_forwardIn a study published in Preventive Medicine (1991), researchers Stampfer and Colditz observed that women who underwent hormone replacement therapy (HRT) showed a lower risk of coronary heart disease (CHD).

But does this make a difference? The authors of a paper on the effects of stretching in baseball carried out an experiment to compare two different types of stretching and a control treatment consisting of no stretching. Participants were adult males with varying levels of baseball throwing experience and who were not professional or collegiate baseball players. Participants in the two stretching treatments went through a warm-up that included 8 minutes of stretching. Each participant (all three groups) then threw 10 pitches, and the average speed (km/hour) was calculated. (a) Explain why it is important that the participants be assigned at random to the three different treatment groups (Stretching Method 1, Stretching Method 2, and No Stretching). Random assignment ensures that our experiment systematically favors one experimental condition over all others and attempts to create experimental groups that are as…arrow_forwardResearchers examined the effect of phosphate supplementation on bone formation in 6 healthy adult dogs.

- Body Fat. J. McWhorter et al. of the College of Health Sciences at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, studied physical therapy students during their graduate-school years. The researchers were interested in the fact that, although graduate physical-therapy students are taught the principles of fitness, some have difficulty finding the time to implement those principles. In the study, published as “An Evaluation of Physical Fitness Parameters for Graduate Students” (Journal of American College Health, Vol. 51, No. 1, pp. 32–37), a sample of 27 female graduate physical-therapy students had a mean of 22.46 percent body fat. a. Assuming that percent body fat of female graduate physicaltherapy students is normally distributed with standard deviation 4.10 percent body fat, determine a 95% confidence interval for the mean percent body fat of all female graduate physical-therapy students. b. Obtain the margin of error, E, for the confidence interval you found in part (a). c.

Calcium is a required element for plants and animals. The amount taken up and stored in the plant is closely correlated to the amount present in the soil. It was hypothesized that fire may change the calcium levels present in the soil and thus affect the amount available to the deer. A large tract of land in the Fishburn Forest was selected for a prescribed burn. Soil samples were taken from 12 plots of equal area just prior to the burn on May 20, 1964, and analyzed for calcium. On July 16, 1964, postburn calcium levels were analyzed from the same plots. These values, in kilograms per plot, are presented in the following table. Do these data support the…arrow_forwardElissa Epel, a professor of health psychology at the University of California–San Francisco, studied women in high- and low-stress situations. She found that women with higher cortisol responses to stress ate significantly more sweet food and consumed more calories on the stress day compared with those with low cortisol responses, and compared with themselves on lower stress days. Increases in negative mood in response to the stressors were also significantly related to greater food consumption. These results suggest that psychophysiological responses to stress may influence subsequent eating behavior. Over time, these alterations could impact both weight and health. You are interested in studying whether students living in the dorms or students living off campus have higher cortisol levels. You ask a sample of n₁ = 25 students living in the dorms and n₂ = 30 students living off campus to record their afternoon cortisol levels for a week. The average cortisol level for students living…arrow_forward
