Principles in Statitstic Studies

A. Repeated measures design is a research design that involves multiple measures of the same variable taken on the same or matched subjects either under different conditions or over two or more time periods.

This is performed in the described study since the same subjects are measured in different periods and in different conditions of weight.

B. Blinding in Statistics. Blinding, or double-blinding, is when a patient does not know what treatment they are receiving so it does not influence the final outcomes. This principle is used here, because none of the participants knew what was given to them.

C. Randomization refers to the practice of using chance methods (random number tables, flipping a coin, etc.) to assign subjects to treatments. We are not sure how the participants were assigned to the specific diet. They were randomly selected. This could refer to randomization.

D. Control refers to directly influency over the conditions of the subject of the study to ensure they all go through the exact same proccesses during the study. We know the groups received different diets in sugar contents, but the rest of their living variables were not controlled, thus this last principle was not used in this study

A ski patrol unit has nine members available for duty, and two of them are to be sent to rescue an injured skier. In how many wa
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of two of the nine members of ski patrol unit can be chosen is equal to the combinations of 9 taken 2. This can be calculated using the formula:

\frac{9!}{2!*(9-2)!}  

= \frac{9!}{2!*7!}, where

9! =9×8×7×6×5×4×3×2×1 and

7!=7×6×5×4×3×2×1

2!=2×1   then the equation becomes:

=\frac{9*8}{2} =36

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

  1. Two sided  t-test ( d )
  2.  0.245782  ( c )
  3. Since P-value is too large we cannot conclude that the students’ weight are different for these two schools. ( c )
  4. The test is inconclusive; thus we cannot claim that the average weights are different. ( b )

Step-by-step explanation:

1)  Test performed is a Two sided test and this because we are trying to determine the mean difference between two groups irrespective of their direction

<u>2) Determine the P-value ( we will use a data-data analysis approach on excel data sheet while assuming Unequal variances )</u>

                               yes             No

Mean                   94.47059   89.76471

Variance              173.2647     95.19118

Observations            17            17

df                               30

t Stat                       1.184211  

P(T<=t) one-tail 0.122814  

t Critical one-tail 1.697261

P(T<=t) two-tail        0.245782

Hence The p-value =  0.245782

3) Since P-value is too large we cannot conclude that the students’ weight are different for these two schools.

4)   The test is inconclusive; thus we cannot claim that the average weights are different.
