Determine what type of observational study is described. Explain. Researchers wanted to determine whether there was an associati

on between high blood pressure and the suppression of emotions. The researchers looked at 1800 adults enrolled in a health initiative observational study. Each person was interviewed and asked about their response to emotions. In particular they were asked whether their current tendency was to express or to hold in anger and other emotions. The degree of suppression of emotions was rated on a scale of 1 to 10. Each person's blood pressure was also measured. The researchers analyzed the results to determine whether there was an association between high blood pressure and the suppression of emotions. A. The observational study is a retrospective study because individuals are asked to look back in time. B. The observational study is a cross-sectional study because information is collected at a specific point in time. C. The observational study is a cohort study because individuals are observed over a long period of time.

Answer:

B. The observational study is a cross-sectional study because information is collected at a specific point in time.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) There are three types of Observational Studies: Case-control, cross-sectional and Cohort.

2) Since the researchers collected information from those 1800 adults at a certain time, then we can call it a cross-sectional study. It does not provide solid results since the research was not done over a period to collect further information. We don't know, for example, much more than what that association deeply mean.

3) If we wonder more, then the researchers would have to track those adults over a given period, i.e. a Cohort would be necessary.

4) Moreover, it's not "retrospective" for virtually every question, always makes us look back somehow, and it does not categorize a kind of observational study.

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

H0: Population mean = 8.46

H1: Population mean is not equal to 8.46

The test statistic (t) is given by the following expression -

{t=\frac{\overline{x}-\mu_0}{s/\sqrt{n}}}

We have calculated the sample mean (8.421) and sample standard deviation (0.0461). Therefore, the test statistic (t) will be -

t = (8.421 - 8.46)/(0.0461/sqrt(49)) = -5.92

The left-sided critical value from t-distribution (two-tailed) is -2.01. Thus the test statistic falls in the rejection region and we reject the null hypothesis at 95% confidence level and conclude that the population mean is different from 8.46 inches.

(b)

There are the following four assumptions for a single sample t-test.

The observations are in ratio scale.

The observations have been taken in such a manner that every single observation is independent and uncorrelated from the others.

There should not be any significant outliers in the sample observations.

The sample data should be approximately normal.

(c)

The first assumption is true as the data is in inches. The second assumption cannot be tested now. It will depend upon the situation and study design which we assume as correct in this case. The third assumption is checked by plotting a box plot and finding the outliers. The final assumption can be checked using the Anderson-Darling normality test.

Kindly check the graphical table in the attached images below.

(d)

The data is normal (the p-value of Anderson-Darling test in > 0.05). However, two points in the Box plot are outliers though not grossly different from the entire sample data set. So, we conclude that the assumptions are valid in this case for conducting the t-test.
