- This question is about Experimental design.arrow_forwardThe authors of the paper "Statistical Methods for Assessing Agreement Between Two Methods of Clinical Measurement" compared two different instruments for measuring a subject'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 subject air flow was measured once using the Wright meter and once using the mini-Wright meter.

Provide one example including a minimum of two independent variables.arrow_forwardYou are going to analyze a study on the intellectual development of engineering students. Perry’s model of intellectual development was applied to undergraduate engineering students at Penn State (Journal of Engineering Education, Jan. 2005). Perry scores (ranging from 1 to 5) were determined for 21 students in a first-year, project-based design course. (Note: A Perry score of 1 indicates the lowest level of intellectual development, and a Perry score of 5 indicates the highest level.) The average Perry score for the 21 students was 3.27. Identify the experimental units for this study. What is the population of interest? The sample? What type of data, quantitative or qualitative, are collected? Use the sample information to make an inference about the population. Use a random number generator to select 3 of the 21 students for further testing.arrow_forwardBody 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. Explain the…arrow_forward
- What is the observational study design used in the study Background: Vitamin D deficiency is prevalent among Indian women. Subclinical vitamin D deficiency is a significant risk factor for osteopenia and fractures. However, its effect on bone metabolism and bone mineral density (BMD) is still debatable. Objectives: This study aimed to determine relationships of the vitamin D status with bone turnover markers, carboxy-terminal telopeptide of type-I collagen (CTX), N-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen (PINP), and BMD in healthy Indian women. Methods: In this study, we determined serum levels of 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25(OH)D), parathyroid hormone, serum CTX, and PINP using commercial ELISA kits in 310 healthy Indian women aged 25 - 65 years who underwent BMD measurements with DXA scan. Results: The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency was 53.87%. A direct correlation of BMD with vitamin D levels was not observed. PINP negatively correlated with vitamin D in both premenopausal…arrow_forwardA study was undertaken in a hospital to compare the performance of a new surveillance method to the standard method in the ability to detect patients who develop an infection after a caesarean section.

You should use the appropriate statistical test to analyse the data and to answer questions 1-6 related to the research scenario. Research Scenario: Visceral factors that require us to engage in self‐control (such as a filling bladder) can affect our inhibitory abilities in unrelated domains. In a fascinating study by Tuk, Trampe, and Warlop (2011), participants were given five cups of water: one group was asked to drink them all, whereas another was asked to take a sip from each. This manipulation led one group to have full bladders (high urgency group, coded 1 in the spreadsheet) and the other group relatively empty bladders (low urgency group coded 2 in the spreadsheet). The values for all individuals in these two groups are in the column Drink_Group. Later on, these participants were given eight trials in which they had to choose between a small financial…arrow_forwardThe three basic requirements of valid experiments( Under Control, Independent Variable, and Dependent Variable).
