A therapist wanted to determine if yoga or meditation is better for relieving stress. The therapist recruited 100 of her high-st

ress patients. Fifty of them were randomly assigned to take weekly yoga classes, and the other 50 were assigned weekly meditation classes. After one month, 30 of the 50 patients in the yoga group reported less stress, and 35 of the 50 patients in the meditation group reported less stress.
Based on the 95% confidence interval, (–0.29, 0.09), is there convincing evidence of a difference in the true proportions of patients experiencing stress relief in the yoga and meditation groups?

There is convincing evidence because the two sample proportions are different.

There is not convincing evidence because the interval contains 0.

There is not convincing evidence because the interval contains both negative and positive values for the true difference.

Answer:  Choice B

There is not convincing evidence because the interval contains 0.

========================================================

Explanation:

The confidence interval is (-0.29, 0.09)

This is the same as writing -0.29 < p1-p1 < 0.09

The thing we're trying to estimate (p1-p2) is between -0.29 and 0.09

Because 0 is in this interval, it is possible that p1-p1 = 0 which leads to p1 = p2.

Therefore, it is possible that the population proportions are the same.

The question asks " is there convincing evidence of a difference in the true proportions", so the answer to this is "no, there isn't convincing evidence". We would need both endpoints of the confidence interval to either be positive together, or be negative together, for us to have convincing evidence that the population proportions are different.

The Greatest Problems on Campus
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer: D.) This is an example of inductive reasoning because a general conclusion is reached based on a specific example,

Step-by-step explanation: Inductive reasoning simply refers to making conclusion about a specific subject or topic from patterns or insights derived from related examples. In the scenario above, the conclusion reached encompasses the overall full time 4 years college student. However, this conclusion was inferred based on a specific example comprising of only a randomized sample of 1200 full time 4 years college students in 100 campuses. random. The example failed to incorporate every student, Hence, the conclusion is induced as the choice of a sample of students may not convey the choice or decision of all.

Deductive reasoning meanwhile follows that a generally established fact is used to make conclusion about a specific example.
