"Coffee drinkers often claim that the caffeine in the coffee makes them more alert. A researcher wonders if this enhanced alertness is merely an illusion or if caffeine actually makes people more alert. To test the effect of caffeine on alertness, the researcher asks people to drink one cup of caffeinated coffee, one cup of plain water, one cup of caffeinated water, or one cup of decaffeinated coffee. After drinking the beverage each participant was given an electroencephalogram (EEG). The researcher hypothesized that the caffeinated beverages would result in greater electrical activity than the non-caffeinated beverages. Which of the following would be most likely to increase the size of the treatment effect in this study? "
Only use people in the study who are between the ages of 25 and 35 rather than 25 and 75.
Increase the amount of beverage participants drink from one cup to two cups.
Have experienced EEG technicians collect data rather than train students…
Chlorophylls a and b are plant pigments that absorb sunlight and transfer the energy into photosynthesis of carbohydrates from CO2 and H2O, releasing O2 in the process. Chlorophylls were
extracted from chopped up grass and measured by spectrophotometry. The table shows results for chlorophyll a for four separate analysis of five blades of grass.

Four replicate measurements for each blade of grass tell us the precision of the analytical procedure (sanalysis). Differences between mean values for each of the five blades of grass are a measure of variation due to sampling (ssampling).
Using Excel and it’s ANOVA function, find the standard deviations attributable to sampling and to
analysis, as well as the overall standard deviation arising from both sources.
Laptop Computers and Sperm CountStudies have shown that heating the scrotum by just 1∘C can reduce sperm count and sperm quality, so men concerned about fertility are cautioned to avoid too much time in the hot tub or sauna. A new study1 suggests that men also keep their laptop computers off their laps. The study measured scrotal temperature in 29 healthy male volunteers as they sat with legs together and a laptop computer on the lap. Temperature increase in the left scrotum over a 60-minute session is given as 2.31±0.96 and a note tells us that "Temperatures are given as ∘ C; values are shown as mean ±SD." The abbreviation SD stands for standard deviation. (Men who sit with their legs together without a laptop computer do not show an increase in temperature.)1Sheynkin, Y., et al., "Protection from scrotal hyperthermia in laptop computer users," Fertility and Sterility, February 2011; 92(2): 647–651.

- Murder was committed in an air-conditioned laboratory. Dr. Quincy, the medical examiner, was summoned to the scene of the crime. One of the first things he did was to take the temperature of the corpse. At 9:23 PM, he recorded the temperature to be 20.1oC and at 9:53 Pm to be 18.7oC. He further observed that the thermostat of the air-conditioning unit was set at 16oC. After gathering all pertinent data and analyzing them for sometime, he submitted a preliminary report stating that the victim was murdered between 7 PM and 8 PM. Was Dr. Quincy's report correct? At what approximate time did the victim die? Assume that the normal body temperature of a human being, alive and well, is 37oC.arrow_forwardIn an experiment designed to monitor impedance to leg movement, Korean engineers attached electrodes to the ankles and knees of volunteers. Of interest were the voltage readings between pairs of electrodes. These readings were used to determine the signal-to nose ration (SNR) of impedance changes such as knee flexes and hip extensions.a). Six voltage electrodes were attached to key parts of the ankle. How many electrode pairs on the ankle are possible?b). Ten voltage electrodes were attached to key parts of the knee. How many electrode pairs on the ankle are possible?c). Determine the number of possible electrode pairs such that one electrode is attached to the knee and one is attached to the ankle.arrow_forwardA professional golfer is shopping for a new brand of golf ball. She likes most of the features of one particular brand, but she wants to make sure that the brand has a desirable spin rate (the rate at which the ball spins on its axis after being struck by a golf club). To test the spin rate of this new brand of ball, the golfer hits the brand of ball on 76 shots, and a computer measures the spin rate for each shot. The computer then produces the following histogram summarizing the 76 spin rates. 25 20 15 10 5 0 Frequency 4 12 13 22 19 6 5000 5500 6000 6500 7000 7500 8000 Spin rate (in revolutions per minute) Based on the histogram, estimate the mean spin rate (in revolutions per minute) for the sample. Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places, and round your answer to the nearest integer.arrow_forward

Nine of the men were randomly selected to take a capsule containing pure caffeine one hour before the test. The other men received a placebo capsule. During each exercise the subject's respiratory exchange ratio (RER) was measured. (RER is the ratio of CO2 produced to O2 consumed and is an indicator of whether energy is being obtained from carbohydrates or fats). The question of interest to the experimenter was whether, on average, caffeine changes RER. The two populations being compared are “men who have not taken caffeine” and “men who have taken caffeine” the results were as follows: Develop the hypothesis, Do the test Write the result of the hypothesisarrow_forward
