Some researchers tested whether arthritis in dogs could be improved by supplementation with antioxidants and/or an aminosugar mixture (containing glucosamine and chondroitin). They gave combinations of these supplements (each a factor with two levels: treatment and control) to equal numbers of test subjects in a balanced factorial design. They tested the effects of these supplements on levels of inflammation using a factorial ANOVA. The ANOVA table from their output is copied below.                                                                                > model<-aov(inflammation~as.factor(antioxidant)*as.factor(aminosugar)) > anova(model) Df SS MS...

A researcher is conducting a pilot study on physical activity in healthy older adults, and is measuring the number of minutes of elevated heart rate that the participants attain over the course of seven days. The researcher is particularly interested in the role that gender plays in exercise, and has sorted her data by gender. Number of minutes for females: 98, 49, 55, 303, 60, 75, 59, 121, 95, 99, 27, 50, 62, 70, 86, 126, 138, 111, 86, 69...

Abstract This study investigated associations between working memory (measured by complex memory tasks) and both reading and mathematics abilities, as well as the possible mediating factors of fluid intelligence, verbal abilities, short-term memory (STM), and phonological awareness, in a sample of 6- to 11-year-olds with reading disabilities. As a whole, the sample was characterized by deficits in complex memory and visuospatial STM and by low IQ scores; language, phonological STM, and phonological awareness abilities fell in the low average range....

4. A research study was conducted to examine the differences between older and younger adults on perceived life satisfaction. A pilot study was conducted to examine this hypothesis. Ten older adults (over the age of 70) and ten younger adults (between 20 and 30) were give a life satisfaction test (known to have high reliability and validity). Scores on the measure range from 0 to 60 with high scores indicative of high life satisfaction; low scores indicative of low life...

A study claims 32% of U.S. adults eat chocolate daily. A researcher suspects the actual percentage is greater than this. The researcher randomly selects 88 people and finds 39 of them eat chocolate daily. Perform a hypothesis test using ∝ = 0.05. Step #1: State the null and alternative hypothesis. Identify the claim.Step#2: Find the test value.Which test is needed?Right,left, or two tailed Step #3: Find the p-value. Do not reject or reject the null hypothesis?

A) To test whether caffeine increases heart rate, a study was conducted with 10 male adults. Heart rate per minute was measured before and after drinking 3 cups of coffee containing 300 mg of caffeine. The before heart rates were measured while resting. The data was found to be normal and is given below. The standard deviation of the differences is sd = 2.16. Assume that the scores are pairs of scores for ten subjects, and use a = 0.05...
