Some common strategies
for treating hypertensive patients by nonpharmacologic methods
include (1) weight reduction and (2) trying to get the patient to
relax more by meditational or other techniques. These strategies
were evaluated by randomizing hypertensive patients to four groups
who receive the following types of nonpharmacologic therapy: Group
1: patients receive counselling for both weight reduction and
meditation. Group 2: patients receive counselling for weight
reduction but not for meditation. Group 3: patients receive
counselling for meditation but not for weight reduction. Group 4:
patients receive no counselling at all. 20 hypertensive patients
were assigned at random to each of the four groups, and the change
in diastolic blood pressure (DBP) was recorded in these patients
after a 1-month period. These data are summarized as follows:
Group n Mean change in DBP sd of change (baseline -
followup) (mm Hg)
1 20 8.6 6.2
2 20 5.3 5.4
3 20 4.9 7.0
4 20 1.1 6.5
(a)Complete the
following ANOVA table:
Source of variation DF Sum of Squares Mean Square
F-statistic p-value
Model (between group) _________ 565.35 _______ _______ < 0.05
Error (Within group) __________ ________ ____________
__________ _________
Total 3583.31 ___________ _____________
________ ____________
(b)Interpret this p-value. Be sure to clearly state what is being
tested and what this means in the context of the problem of
interest. Comment on our ability to draw causal inference in this
setting.
[PLEASE CLEARLY STATE WHAT ALL THE PARAMETERS USED IN THIS QUESTION MEAN]
(a)
There are 4 groups so degree of freedom of between is
There are total 20+20+20+20 = 80 data values so degree of freedom of error is
The degree of freedom of total is
The sum of squares of within is
Now,
The F test statistics is
(b)
Since p-value is less than 0.05 so we reject the null hypothesis. That is we can conclude that change in diastolic blood pressure (DBP) is not same for all groups.

use first chart to answer questions 18-20 D Question 18 5 pts Suppose 20 hypertensive patients are assigned at random to each of four therapy groups, and the change of in diastolic blood pressure (DBP) is noted in these patients after a 1-month period. We want to see whether there is any difference in mean changes in DBP among the therapy groups. The results are given in the following table (please use this table to answer questions 18 through 20):...
Problem 3 Weight reduction is an important goal for the management of type 2 diabetes (T2D) among overweight patients. A 2016 study evaluated the effect of oat intake (a cereal grain) for overweight T2D patients. A total of 298 overweight T2D subjects (BMI of at least 24 kg/m2) were randomly assigned to follow one of 4 dietary guidelines for 30 days, as shown in the diagram below. The two “oats” groups ate the same healthy diet as the “diet" group,...
