Studies have shown that people who are using safety equipment when engaging in an activity tend to take increased risks. Will risk taking increase when people are not aware they are wearing protective equipment and are engaged in an activity that cannot be made safer by this equipment? Participants in the study were falsely told they were taking part in an eye-tracking experiment for which they needed to wear an eye-tracking device. Eighty subjects were divided at random into two groups of 40 each, with one group wearing the tracking device mounted on a baseball cap and the other group wearing it mounted on a bicycle helmet. Subjects were told that the helmet or cap was just being used to mount the eye tracker. All subjects watched an animated balloon on a video screen and pressed a button to inflate it. The balloon was programmed to burst at a random point, but until that point, each press of the button inflated the balloon further and increased the amount of fictional currency a subject would earn. Subjects were free to stop pumping at any point and keep their earnings, knowing that if the balloon burst, they would lose all earnings for that round. The score was the average number of pumps on the trials, with lower scores corresponding to less risk taking and more conservative play. Here are the first 10 observations from each group.

Helmet: 3.67 36.50 29.28 30.50 24.08 32.10 50.67 26.26 41.05 20.56

Baseball Cap: 29.38 42.50 41.57 47.77 32.45 30.65 7.04 2.68 22.04 25.86

Compare the distributions for the two groups. How is wearing of a helmet related to the measure of risk behavior? Hint: Create side by side box and whisker plots.

A weight-lifting coach wanted to know whether weight-lifters can change their strength by taking a certain supplement. To answer this question, the coach randomly selected 8 athletes and gave them a strength test using a bench press. Thirty days later, after regular training using the supplement, they were tested again. The results were listed below. A test was conducted to determine whether weight-lifters can change their strength by taking a certain supplement. Assume the populations are normally distributed.

Athlete 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Mean SD

Before 215 240 188 212 275 260 225 200 226.88 29.72

After 225 245 188 210 282 275 230 195 231.25 34.55

Difference -10 -5 0 2 -7 -15 -5 5 -4.38 6.55

1. What is the null hypothesis for this test?

2. What is the value of the standardized test statistic?

3. The p-value was 0.05. Suppose this test was conducted at α = 0.01. What can you conclude?

a. There is insufficient evidence to conclude that weight-lifters can change their strength by taking a certain supplement.

b. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that weight-lifters can change their strength by taking a certain supplement.

c. None of the above; this test is invalid.

4. Suppose the coach had incorrectly performed a two-sample t-test. In comparison to the correct analysis, which of the following regarding the test statistic would be true?

a. The test statistic is closer to 0

b. The test statistic is farther from 0

c. The test statistic does not change.

Healthy Lifestyles

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia, is the government agency responsible for disease-related issues in the United States. The CDC coordinates efforts to counteract outbreaks of diseases and funds a variety of medical and health research studies. The CDC also serves as a central clearinghouse for health-related data.

The CDC conducts the annual Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey. The survey measures a whole series of lifestyle characteristics that relate to health and longevity, such as smoking and use of seat belts. The survey compiles data on a stateby-state basis. Not all states are surveyed.

The data set from the 1990 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey is on the accompanying CD in the file named HEALTHY. All numbers are percentages, and asterisks indicate the missing data for that state.

Your task is to prepare a summary of these data. Your report is to be issued to major news organizations, such as the Associated Press, and will appear in major newspapers around the United States. For this reason, it would be inappropriate to use technical jargon in your report.

Your boss has suggested a few general ideas about what is likely to appeal to your target audience. As you study the data, you might find other things worth including.

Questions

1. Report any interesting (i.e., unexpected, humorous, or odd) differences between states.

2. Devise a weighted index of all seven lifestyle variables. The weighted index is to serve as an overall or composite measure of healthy lifestyles. Apply your weight to the states of Minnesota, Florida, and California as an example of what your weighted index shows.

3. Discuss any noteworthy limitations of the survey or data set.

CASE STUDY

You have just completed your first week employed as assistant executive manager in a 180-bed skilled nursing facility, named Sanctuary Nursing Home. On your first day, the facility CEO gave you a tour of the facility, introducing you to staff and residents. Throughout the week, you have been observing and getting to know your staff and residents.
Now, as your first full week on the job winds to a close, you are dismayed to notice a pattern of care indicative of some organizational deficiencies. Some of these problems are so serious that, were an inspection to happen today, Sanctuary would likely receive a number of citations. Most of these issues have the potential to cause at least minimal harm.
The list of problems you have noticed includes:

  • There is urine and/or feces on the bathroom floors of several incontinent patients.
  • Less than 40% of staff and 70% of residents received an influenza vaccine this year.
  • Medication patches ordered “discontinued” for a resident were found on the resident’s shoulder one day after the discontinuation order was placed in chart.
  • Four activities scheduled on the Recreation Calendar were cancelled within your first week without notice, leaving residents sitting in front of the television in the activity room.

As a new manager, you recognize a need to: 1) engage in an in-depth assessment of quality of care being provided at Sanctuary, and 2) develop a plan to proactively improve care quality and prevent citations or sanctions from external oversight entities.

Question

Do you think that the situation as described here at Sanctuary is typical of skilled nursing facilities, or do you think that nursing homes suffer from poor, inaccurate press based on a few isolated situations?
