Homework assistance for accounting students. Refer to the Journal of Accounting Education (Vol. 25, 2007) study of assisting accounting students with their homework, Exercise 8.18 (p. 444). A total of 75 junior-level accounting majors who were enrolled in Intermediate Financial Accounting participated in the experiment. Recall that students took a pretest on a topic not covered in class and then each was given a homework problem to solve on the same topic. A completely randomized design was employed, with students randomly assigned to receive one of three different levels of assistance on the homework: (1) the completed solution, (2) check figures at various steps of the solution, and (3) no help at all. After finishing the homework, each student was given a posttest on the subject. The response variable of interest to the researchers was the knowledge gain (or, test score improvement), measured as the difference between the posttest and pretest scores. The data (simulated from
- a. Give the null and alternative hypotheses tested in an analysis of variance of the data.
- b. Summarize the results of the analysis in an ANOVA table.
- c. Interpret the results, practically. Does your conclusion agree with the inferences drawn in Exercise 8.18?

A study published in 2007 by Christopher Johnson, professor of music education and music therapy at the University of Kansas, revealed that students in elementary schools who took private music lessons scored around 20 percent higher in math scores on standardized tests, compared to students who did not take private music lessons. Is this a randomized experiment or an observational study?
a) Randomized experiment, since researchers gave students standardized tests.
b) Observational study, since whether the student took private music lessons was not randomly assigned.
c) Observational study, since math scores were not randomly assigned.
d) Observational study, since this was not a random sample.
In a study of the effectiveness of a fabric device that acts like a support stocking for a weak or damaged heart, 110 people who consented to treatment were assigned at random to either a standard treatment consisting of drugs or the experimental treatment that consisted of drugs plus surgery to install the stocking. After two years, 30% of the 60 patients receiving the stocking had improved and 24% of the patients receiving the standard treatment had improved. (Use a statistical computer package to calculate the P-value. Use pexperimental − pstandard. Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to four decimal places.)

The File TSAWaitTimes contains waiting Times in TSA security lines at a major U.S. airport for a recent random sample 10,531 travelers. Use these Data to test the hypothesis that the proportion of travelers waiting more than 20 minutes in TSA security lines at this airport is the same as the national proportion at α = .05 Data given: Time In Line Mean 11.99496 Median 11.97536 Standard Deviation 3.992043 Confidence Level(95.0%) 0.076253 Provide a 95% confidence interval with interpretationarrow_forwardA 2012 article in the New England Journal reports the results of a randomized trial to assess the association between regular usage of asthma medication prior to turning 18 years old, and height at age 18 years.

- For a two-factor ANOVA with two levels of factor A, two levels of factor B, and a separate sample of n = 8 participants in each treatment condition, the two means for level A1 are 3 and 5, and the two means for level A2 are 4 and 2. For these data, what is the value of SSbetween treatments?arrow_forwardAre low-fat diets or low-carb diets more effective for weight loss? This question was addressed in the article “Comparison of the Atkins, Zone, Ornish, and LEARN Diets for Change in Weight and Related Risk Factors Among Overweight Premenopausal Women: The A TO Z Weight Loss Study: A Randomized Trial” (C. Gardner, A. Kiazand, et al., Journal of the American Medical Association, 2007:969–977). A sample of 77 subjects went on a low-carbohydrate diet for six months. At the end of that time the sample mean weight loss was 4.7 kg with a sample standard deviation of 7.2 kg. A second sample of 79 subjects went on a low-fat diet. Their sample mean weight loss was 2.6 kg with a standard deviation of 5.9 kg. a) Can you conclude that the mean weight loss is greater for those on the low-carbohydrate diet? b) Can you conclude that the mean weight loss on the low-carbohydrate diet is more than 1 kg greater than that of the low-fat diet?arrow_forwardWhich of these statements is NOT true regarding a randomized block design experiment? a.) The elements are randomly allocated to treatment and control groups. b.) The sample is divided into participants or subjects and then grouped by a variable of interest. c.)

- Annie is concerned over a report that "a woman over age 4040 has a better chance of being killed by a terrorist than of getting married." A study found that the likelihood of marriage for a never-previously-wed, 4040-year-old university-educated American woman was 2.8%2.8%. To demonstrate that this percentage is too small, Annie uses her resources at the Baltimore Sun to conduct a simple random sample of 513513 never-previously-wed, university-educated, American women who were single at the beginning of their 4040s and who are now 4545. Of these women, 2323 report now being married. Does this evidence support Annie’s claim, at the 0.050.05 level of significance, that the chances of getting married for this group is greater than 2.8%2.8%? Step 3 of 3 : Draw a conclusion and interpret the decision.arrow_forwardThe following results are from an independent-measures, two-factor study with n=5 participants in each treatment condition.

Describe how you could best design a randomized experiment to investigate this question. (a) Over a month-long period, randomly assign each day to either classical music or not classical music and then keep track of the price of average meals ordered at the restaurant each day. (b) Select a random sample of restaurants that play classical music, and a random sample of restaurants that do not play classical music, and measure the average price of meals for each sample. (c) Select a random sample of restaurants. Have each restaurant choose whether to play classical music or not, then measure the average price of meals for each restaurant over the study period. or (d) A randomized experiment is not feasible for this research question. 2) Butterfat is the fat that naturally occurs in…arrow_forward
