1)There are two cases Dark and Light. These two are predictor variables and BMI is the explanatory variable. It's a randomized experiment as we are doing an experiment on mice using an input variable which is the presence of light or not.

In Data 4.1 on page 258, we examine a study in which mice were randomly assigned to either a norm...
DATA 4.1 Does Light at Night Affect Weight Gain? Numerous studies have shown that exposure to light at night is harmful to human health. A recent study? examines the effect of light at night on body mass gain in mice. Eighteen mice were randomly assigned to one of two groups: the Dark group had a normal light/dark cycle with darkness at night and the Light group had a dim light on at night, equivalent to having a television set on...
For questions 13-16: Light exposure in mice Studies show that night-time light exposure is hamful to human health. A recent 6-week study randomly assigned lab mice to one of three conditions: LD (Group 1) had a standard light/dark cycle cach 24-hour period; (Group 2) LL had bright light all the time, and (Group 3) DM had dim light when there nomally would have been darkness. The rescarchers hoped to investigate how light exposure interacts with eating and sleeping cycles and...
In addition to monitoring weight gain, food consumed, and activity level, the study measured stress levels in the mice by measuring corticosterone levels in the blood (higher levels indicate more stress.) Conditions for ANOVA are met and computer output for corticosterone levels for each of the three light conditions is shown.

Chapter 8, Section 1, Exercise 033 LIGHT AT NIGHT MAKES FAT MICE Studies have shown that exposure to light at night is harmful to human health. A study in mice shows that light at night has an effect on weight gain after just three weeks. In the study, mice were randomly assigned to live in one of three light conditions: LD had a standard light/dark cycle, LL had bright light all the time, and DM had dim light when there...
Two researchers conducted a study in which two groups of students were asked to answer 42 trivia questions from a board game. The students in group 1 were asked to spend 5 minutes thinking about what it would mean to be a professor, while the students in group 2 were asked to think about soccer hooligans. These pretest thoughts are a form of priming. The 200 students in group 1 had a mean score of 21.4 with a standard deviation...
In this study, participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups – to watch either a NEUTRAL or EMOTIONAL movie clip. After watching for an hour, participants were asked to rate work place satisfaction using an inventory that ranges from 0 – 10 (with higher indicating higher satisfaction). Assume data meets all assumptions for a parametric test. Using the information provided, create an SPSS data file and conduct the appropriate statistical test to determine whether there is a statistically...
Problem 3: A study examines chocolate's effects on blood vessel function in healthy people. In the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 11 people received 46 grams (1.6 ounces) of dark chocolate (which is naturally flavonoid-rich) every day for two weeks, while a control group of 10 people received a placebo consisting of dark chocolate with low flavonoid content. Participants had their vascular health measured (by means of flow-mediated dilation) before and after the two-week study. The increase over the two-week period...
7. A study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of a new drug for treating Stage 4 AIDS patients. A group of AIDS patients was randomly divided into two groups. One group received the new drug; the other group received a placebo. The difference in mean subsequent survival (those with drugs - those without drugs) was found to be 1.04 years and a 95% confidence interval was found to be 1.04 ± 2.37 years. Based upon this information: Select one...
A statistics teacher wanted to see whether there was a significant difference in ages between day students and night students. A random sample of 35 students is selected from each group. The data are given below. Day Students 1 22 1 29 20 20 24 18 24 20 23 24 21 23 27 26 23 21 22 17 30 19 18 22 19 25 19 23 18 25 21 20 18 21 Night Students 18 23 24 27 1925 25...
Question 5: Which statement is true: (a) A 90% confidence interval for μ is wider than a 95% confidence interval for μ (b) The width (Le, the length) of a confidence interval is equal to its margin of error (c) Decreasing the sample size will make the confidence wider (d) The standard deviation of the sample mean is larger than the population standard deviation o. Question 6. A test of H0 : μ-128 against Ha : μ > 12.8 has...
