A team of researchers recruited a random sample of migraine sufferers

A team of researchers recruited a random sample of migraine sufferers. Before the study began at baseline, participants were asked to record the duration of headaches they experienced in a week. A few days later, all participants were asked to practice a week-long relaxation technique designed to reduce migraine headaches. A three-week off period in which the participants practiced nothing was given between the relaxation technique. Throughout the relaxation technique participants were asked to record the duration of headaches. What can be concluded with an α of 0.01?

a) What is the appropriate test statistic?
---Select--- na one-way ANOVA within-subjects ANOVA two-way ANOVA

b) Compute the appropriate test statistic(s) to make a decision about H0.
critical value =  ; test statistic =  
Decision:  ---Select--- Reject H0 Fail to reject H0

c) Compute the corresponding effect size(s) and indicate magnitude(s).
η2 =  ;  ---Select--- na trivial effect small effect medium effect large effect

d) Make an interpretation based on the results.

At least one week differs on the headache duration.None of the weeks differed on headache duration.    


e) Conduct Tukey's Post Hoc Test for the following comparisons:
1 vs. 3: difference =  ; significant:  ---Select--- Yes No
2 vs. 3: difference =  ; significant:  ---Select--- Yes No

f) Conduct Scheffe's Post Hoc Test for the following comparisons:
1 vs. 3: test statistic =  ; significant:  ---Select--- Yes No
2 vs. 3: test statistic =  ; significant:  ---Select--- Yes No

A pharmaceutical company tested three formulations of a pain relief medicine for migraine headache sufferers. For the experiment, 88 volunteers were randomly assigned to one of three drug formulations. The subjects were instructed to take the drug during their next migraine headache episode and to report their pain level on a Likert scale of 1 (no pain) to 10 (extreme pain) 30 minutes after taking the drug. Is there a significant difference in the mean pain level for at least...

Researchers interested in the trees of a forest in Vermont selected a random sample of 8 red oak trees and measured various characteristics of these trees. Here are the heights of the trees, in feet: 32, 48, 35, 51, 46, 30, 28, 39 In a study done several years earlier the average height of red oak trees in this forest was reported to be 35 feet. The researchers claim that the average height is now greater than 35 feet. Test...

Researchers compared the amount of DDT in the breast milk of a random sample of 12 Hispanic women in Yakima Valley in Washington State with the amount of DDT in breast milk in the general U.S. population. They measured the standard deviation of the amount of DDT in the general population to be 36.5 parts per billion (ppb). Assume the population is normally distributed. We are interested in testing whether the population standard deviation of DDT level in the breast...

To examine the effect of pets in stressful situations, researchers recruited 21 women and 21 men who said they were dog lovers. Seven of each gender were randomly assigned to each of three groups to do a stressful task alone (the control group), with a good friend present, or with their dog present. The subjects mean heart rate (in beats per minute) during the task is one measure of the effect of stress. The data are given below. Analyze these...

A university wants to start a hockey team finding that 83% of a random sample of 100 people support the establishment of said team. However, the sample appears to contain 80 mean and 20 women; another random sample of the university body suggests that the true percentage of support for a hockey team is 55%. Calculate the test statistic one would use to determine if there is a significant difference between the male dominated sample and the "normal" sample.
