In a research study comparing two different types of aortas (a healthy aorta and a repaired aorta), researchers recorded the number of individuals with each type of aortas who had reduced blood flow. For the individuals with the healthy aortas, 28 had reduced blood flow, and 83 did not. In the group with the repaired aortas, 55 patients had reduced blood flow, and 180 did not.

a) Calculate a 90% confidence interval for percentage of individuals in each population who have reduced blood flow (keeping the two groups separate). State each confidence interval in a sentence.

b) Do the confidence intervals overlap? How can you interpret the results of this study, based on whether there is or is not any overlap?

c) Do the confidence intervals overlap?

In a research study comparing two different types of aortas (a healthy aorta and a repaired aorta), researchers recorded the number of individuals with each type of aortas who had reduced blood flow. For the individuals with the healthy aortas, 28 had reduced blood flow, and 83 did not. In the group with the repaired aortas, 55 patients had reduced blood flow, and 180 did not.

A research study is comparing the aorta diameters of patients who have aortic disorders to the aortas of those who do not have any disorders. The aorta diameters of 15 cases (those with aortic disorders) were measured. The results are given below, measured in millimeters (mm): 7.22, 9.24, 12.01, 7.18, 9.17, 8.26, 14.03, 10.55, 11.09, 10.17, 8.56, 8.29, 7.87, 11.24, 13.14 a) Because the sample size is small, to compute a confidence interval for the mean, we must assume that...

A consumer electronics company is comparing the brightness of two different types of picture tubes for use in its television sets. Tube type A has mean brightness of 100 and standard deviation of 16, and tube type B has unknown mean brightness, but the standard deviation is assumed to be identical to that for type A. A random sample of n=25 tubes of each type is selected, and XB bar - XA bar is computed. If μB equals or exceeds...

Suppose we are comparing average scores on a test for two groups that used different study techniques. The null hypothesis is that μ1 - μ2 = 0 A. If μ1 = 84 and μ2 = 80, which of the following are true (select all that apply)? If we fail to reject H0, we are making the correct decision If we fail to reject H0, we are committing a Type I error If we fail to reject H0, we are committing...

(Chapter 15) A psychologist conducts a two-factor study comparing the effectiveness of two different therapy techniques (factor A) for treating mild and severe phobias (factor B). The dependent variable is a measure of fear for each participant. If the study uses n= 9 participants in each of the five conditions, then identify the df values for each of the three F-Ratios.  Be sure to show all formulas with symbols (and plug in numbers), steps, processes and calculations for all steps and...
