Consider an experiment where 10 mice were exposed to radiation from cell phones and 10 were not. Also assume that the mice were of 4 different breeds. Cancer rates were observed for the two groups. If it exists, which variable is the blocking factor? a. Breed b. whether or not the mice were exposed to cancer c. whether or not the mice got cancer d. no blocking effect
In the experiment, blocking is the arranging of experimental units in groups (blocks) that are similar to one another and treatments are randomly assigned to blocks of subjects.
Here mice were of 4 different breeds.
Therefore, blocking factor might be the breed of mice.
The correct answer is:
a. Breed

In Data 4.1 on page 258, we examine a study in which mice were randomly assigned to either a normal light/dark cycle or to have a light on around the clock. According to the paper describing that study, "The global increase in the prevalence of obesity and metabolic disorders coincides with the increase of exposure to light at night." The study is examining whether light at night plays a causal role in the obesity epidemic. In Data 4.1, we examine...
ANOVA An experiment was conducted where 30 men were randomly assigned to a sugar pill (placebo), low, or high doses of Viagra. Their libido after taking the drug was measured on a 10 - point scale.The question is whether there is an impact on libido (rather than ED). The researchers consider an effect of interest to be a 2 - point difference in the response between doses on this scale. The variables are: • Participants libido: the libido of the...
All work must be shown. That is, you need to show the steps and calculations you used to arrive at every answer for credit - For example, I need to see which two numbers you divided to arrive at a particular S? value, F-ratio value, etc. The "Pygmalion Effect" refers to the effect of teacher expectations on student academic achievement and performance (for the classic study on this phenomenon, see Rosenthal & Jacobson, 1968; for a more recent review of...
