Chapter 9.4, Problem 54E
Teen Court is a juvenile diversion program designed to circumvent the formal processing of first-time juvenile offenders within the juvenile justice system. The article “An Experimental Evaluation of Teen Courts” (J. of Experimental Criminology, 2008: 137–163) reported on a study in which offenders were randomly assigned either to Teen Court or to the traditional Department of Juvenile Services method of processing. Of the 56 TC individuals, 18 subsequently recidivated (look it up!) during the 18-month follow-up period, whereas 12 of the 51 DJS individuals did so. Does the data suggest that the true proportion of TC individuals who recidivate during the specified follow-up period differs from the proportion of DJS individuals who do so? State and test the relevant hypotheses using a significance level of .10.

3. A study was recently reported concerning the frequency of adverse events during inpatient hospital admissions (Bates, et al, New England Journal of Medicine 2023; 388: 142-153). A random sample of 2809 patients admitted to 11 Massachusetts hospitals were assessed. Nine nurses performed a review of the admissions to identify possible adverse events. An adverse event was defined as an “unintended physical injury resulting from or contributed to by medical care that requires additional monitoring, treatment, or hospitalization, or that results in death”. At least one adverse event was identified among 663 of the 2809 admissions.
a. Suppose another hospital (not in the study) wants to compare its adverse event experience with the experience reported in the paper. In a preliminary study, it finds based on chart review among the 1st 10 inpatients, that 3 patients experienced 1 adverse event. What is the probability of observing at least 3 patients out of 10 with 1 adverse event, if the…
The paper "Deception and Design: The Impact of Communication Technology on Lying Behavior"+ describes an investigation into whether lying is less common in face-to-face communication than in other forms of
communication such as phone conversations or e-mail. Participants in this study were 30 students in an upper-division communications course at Cornell University who received course credit for participation. Participants
were asked to record all of their social interactions for a week, making note of any lies told.
Based on data from these records, the authors of the paper concluded that students lie more often in phone conversations than in face-to-face conversations and more often in face-to-face conversations than in e-mail.
Discuss the limitations of this study, commenting on the way the sample was selected and potential sources of bias. (Select all that apply.)

As part of a long-term study of individuals 65 years of age or older, sociologists and physicians at the Wentworth Medical Center in upstate New York investigated the relationship between geographic location and depression. A sample of 60 individuals, all in reasonably good health, was selected; 20 individuals were residents of Florida, 20 were residents of New York, and 20 were residents of North Carolina. Each of the individuals sampled was given a standardized test to measure depression. Higher test scores indicate higher levels of depression.
A second part of the study considered the relationship between geographic location and depression for individuals 65 years of age or older who had a chronic health condition such as arthritis, hypertension, and/or heart ailment. A sample of 60 individuals with such conditions was identified. Again, 20 were residents of Florida, 20 were residents of New York, and 20 were residents of North Carolina.

Suppose that, in a randomized comparative experiment to determine if taking kava daily can reduce insomnia, a group of participants with insomnia were randomly assigned to take kava (treatment group) or a placebo (control group). After six weeks, the participants were interviewed to see if they experienced a decrease in insomnia. The table shows the results from the sample. The counts are the number of people in each group who experienced a decrease in insomnia.

- A sociologist wants to investigate the question, "Is there a relationship between texting during class and grade-point-average (GPA) among high school seniors in a large district?" Which study design is most appropriate? Before the semester starts, randomly select 40 seniors from each high school who do not text during class. Assign 20 to the texting treatment group (text three or more times during every class meeting) and 20 to the control group (no texting during class). At the end of the semester, obtain each student’s GPA from the appropriate admissions and records office. Compare the GPA of students who routinely text during class to the GPA of students who do not text during class. Before the semester starts, randomly select 40 seniors from each high school who do not text during class.

- Reviewers from the Oregon Evidence-Based Practice Center at the Oregon Health and Science University investigated the effectiveness of prescription drugs in assisting people to fall asleep and stay asleep (source: S. Carson, M.S. McDonagh, et al., “Drug class review: Newer drugs for insomnia,” Oregon Health and Science University, 2008, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov). Suppose a study of two drugs, Sonata and Ambien, was conducted and the resulting data are contained in a file titled Shuteye.

Their time spent sleeping was recorded for each of the brands of sleeping pills. (A) Does the experiment seem to have dependent or independent samples? Explain your reasoning.

- Dr. Guidry conducts a study examining the relationship between the number of friends one has and the experience of daily stress and life satisfaction. She randomly samples 1,500 elderly men and women in Nashville, Tennessee (the state capital), located in the southern United States. Dr. Guidry submits her study for publication in a scientific journal. If one of the peer reviewers is concerned about the external validity of her study, which of the following is the most important aspect of Dr. Guidry's study to consider? the number of significant findings the random sampling technique used to recruit the participants the number of people in the sample the use of three measured variablesarrow_forwardThere is some evidence..... There appears to be some evidence suggesting that earlier retirement may lead to memory decline (Rohwedder & Willis, 2010). The researchers gave a memory test to men and women aged 60 to 64 years in several countries that have different retirement ages. For each country, the researchers recorded the average memory score and the percentage of individuals in the 60 to 64 age range who were retired. Note that a higher percentage retired indicates a younger retirement age for that country. The provided data are similar to the results from the study. The following data are passed: % Retired (X) Memory score (Y) 39 9.3 48 10.9 59 10.7 70 9.1 74 6.4 78 9.1 81 7.2 87 7.9 88 8.5 91 9arrow_forwardIn their study of the effectiveness of cardiac catheterization, McClellan,McNeil, and Newhouse (1994) used as an instrument the difference indistance to cardiac catheterization and regular hospitals.
