The authors of the paper “Statistical Methods for Assessing Agreement Between Two Methods of Clinical Measurement” (International Journal of Nursing Studies [2010]: 931–936) compared two different instruments for measuring a person’s ability to breathe out air. (This measurement is helpful in diagnosing various lung disorders.) The two instruments considered were a Wright peak flow meter and a mini-Wright peak flow meter. Seventeen subjects participated in the study, and for each person air flow was measured once using the Wright meter and once using the mini-Wright meter.
- a. Suppose that the Wright meter is considered to provide a better measure of air flow, but the mini-Wright meter is easier to transport and to use. If the two types of meters produce different readings but there is a strong relationship between the readings, it would be possible to use a reading from the mini-Wright meter to predict the reading that the larger Wright meter would have given. Use the given data to find an equation to predict Wright meter reading using a reading from the mini-Wright meter. (Hint: See Example 5.4.)
- b. What would you predict for the Wright meter reading for a person whose mini-Wright meter reading was 500?
- c. What would you predict for the Wright meter reading for a person whose mini-Wright meter reading was 300? (Hint: See the discussion of extrapolation that follows Example 5.4.)

- A new drug for pain relief is being tested within a given palliative care population. The new drug is being compared to an already approved pain relief drug that is commonly used in providing palliative care to patients who experience chronic severe pain. Assume the patients are asked to rate the pain on a scale from 1 to 10, and the data presented below was obtained from a small study designed to compare the effectiveness of the two drugs.

The researchers suspected that the mean depression score for male teens is higher than for female teens, and wanted to check whether data would support this hypothesis. What conclusion can you draw from the output? The data provide sufficient evidence to reject H0 and to conclude that the mean depression score for male teens is larger than that of female teens. The data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that male and female teens do not differ in mean depression score. The data do not provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean depression score of male teens is larger than that of female teens. The data do not provide sufficient evidence to reject H0, so we accept it, and conclude that male and female teens do…arrow_forward
