Six hundred and five survivors of a heart attack, were randomly assigned to follow either (1) a diet close to the "prudent diet step 1" of the American Heart Association or (2) a Mediterranean-type diet consisting of more bread and cereals, more fresh fruit and vegetables, more grains, more fish, fewer delicatessen food, less meat. Over four years, researchers collected information on number of deaths from cardiovascular causes e.g., heart attack and strokes. Of the 303 survivors who followed the AHA diet 24 died of cardiovascular disease. Of the 302 survivors who followed the Mediterranean diet, 14 died of cardiovascular disease. Is there a significant difference in the proportion of patients who die of cardiovascular disease across the two diet plans? Run the test at a 5% level of significance. Give each of the following to receive full credit: 1) the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses; 2) the appropriate test; 3) the decision rule; 4) the calculation of the test statistic; and 5) your conclusion including a comparison to alpha or the critical value. You MUST show your work to receive full credit. Partial credit is available.

SOLVE USING R: Eighteen freshwater mussels (Elliptio dilatata) were randomly assigned to three groups of six each. One group was placed in water from the river where the mussels were collected, one group was placed in deionized water, and one group was placed in a solution of 0.5 millimoles per liter (mM) of sodium sulfate. At the end of a specified time period, blood (hemolymph) was collected from each mussel and potassium levels were determined. Do the treatments affect blood...

SOLVE USING R: Twenty four rug rats were randomly assigned to four groups of six each. The groups were subjected to different levels of stress (high, moderate, low, and none) induced by occasional, unexpected loud noises. After one week, density of blood lym- phocytes (cells ×106/ml) were measured. Prior studies indicated that the homogeneity assumption was violated and could not be remedied. High: 2.9, 1.8, 2.1, 1.5, 0.9, 2.8 Moderate: 3.7, 4.6, 4.2, 2.8, 3.2, 4.5 Low: 5.2, 6.2, 5.7,...

1) In a study of the effects of caffeine on alertness, 32 subjects were randomly assigned to four groups. These groups were C1: wait-list control (no treatment), C2: placebo control, E1: experimental group 1 (mild caffeine treatment) and E2: experimental groups 2 (high caffeine treatment). Several subjects were not able to complete the study, reducing the group n’s to 7, 5, 6, and 3, respectively. The dependent variable scores were performance scores on a visual-motor task requiring alertness. The results...

Imagine you performed a “beer goggling” experiment and randomly assigned participants to drink either 0, 1, or 3 beers, and then had all participants rate the attractiveness of the same fellow college student on a scale from 0 to 50, with higher scores indicating greater perceived attractiveness. There was a total of 21 participants in this study, divided evenly among the three coding conditions. Assume p < .05. Use these data to answer the following questions. Group / Mean Attractiveness...
