Refer to Exercise 2 in Section 9.1.
a. Use the Bonferroni method to determine which means, if any, differ front the
b. Use the Tukey–Kramer method to determine which means, if any, differ from the mean of the control group at the 5% level.
c. Which is the more powerful method to find the treatments whose mean differs from that of the control group, the Bonferroni method or the Tukey–Kramer method?

- This problem is based on information taken from The Merck Manual (a reference manual used in most medical and nursing schools). Diltiazem is a commonly prescribed drug for hypertension. However, diltiazem causes headaches in about 12% of patients using the drug. It is hypothesized that regular exercise might help reduce the headaches. If a random sample of 205 patients using diltiazem exercised regularly and only 18 had headaches, would this indicate a reduction in the population proportion of patients having headaches? Use a 1% level of significance. A-What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answers to two decimal places.) B- Find the P-value of the test statistic. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)arrow_forwardThis problem is based on information taken from The Merck Manual (a reference manual used in most medical and nursing schools). Diltiazem is a commonly prescribed drug for hypertension. However, diltiazem causes headaches in about 11% of patients using the drug. It is hypothesized that regular exercise might help reduce the headaches. If a random sample of 206 patients using diltiazem exercised regularly and only 17 had headaches, would this indicate a reduction in the population proportion of patients having headaches?

William Emory discuss studying the relationship between on-the-job accidents and smoking. Cooper and Emory describe the study as follows: Suppose a manager implementing a smoke-free workplace policy is interested in whether smoking affects worker accidents. Since the company has complete reports of on-the-job accidents, she draws a sample of names of workers who were involved in accidents during the last year. A similar sample from among workers who had no reported accidents in the last year is drawn. She interviews members of both groups to determine if they are smokers or not. The sample results are given in the following table.arrow_forward
- Which of these is true for the control group in an experiment? a.) It is not exposed to the factor under consideration and all other external influences are held constant. b.) It is exposed to the factor under consideration and all other external influences are varied. c.) It is not exposed to the factor under consideration and all other external influences are varied. d.) It is exposed to the factor under consideration and all other external influences are held constant.arrow_forwardIndependent studies show that 26 out of 40 r/s full-time students favor a shorter semester system, while 38 out of 50 r/s part-time students favor the same. Construct a 98% c.i. for the difference between the overall percentage of full-time students favoring a shorter semester system and that of part-time students.arrow_forwardAnita's, a fast-food chain specializing in hot dogs and garlic fries, keeps track of the proportion of its customers who decide to eat in the restaurant (as opposed to ordering the food "to go") so it can make decisions regarding the possible construction of in-store play areas, the attendance of its mascot Sammy at the franchise locations, and so on. Anita's reports that of its customers order their food to go. Suppose that this proportion is correct and that a random sample of individual customers is taken. Answer the following. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) Estimate the number of customers in the sample who order their food to go by giving the mean of the relevant distribution (that is, the expectation of the relevant random variable). Do not round your response. (b) Quantify the uncertainty of your estimate by giving the standard deviation of the distribution. Round your response to at least three decimal places.arrow_forward
- The following data represents results from an experiment comparing 3 treatment conditions for the cure of boredom. Treatment 1 is doing schoolwork, Treatment 2 is watching tv, and Treatment 3 is spending time with friends. The following scores represent treatment effectiveness scores where higher values indicate that the treatment of boredom was effective and lower values indicate that the treatment of boredom was ineffective.

Students in one group were asked to listen to a lecture but were told that they were permitted to use cell phones to send text messages during the lecture. 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. Data from this experiment are summarized in the accompanying table.

A) both X and Y are unbiases B) both X and Y are biased C) X is biased, Y is unbiased D) X is unbiased, and Y is biased E) the assessment of bias is not possible, because the damping distributions display too much variability.arrow_forwardA researcher plans to conduct a study comparing two treatment conditions with 15 scores in each treatment.
