7. Analysis for Sample size calculation
We assume 2 different 1-sample t Test, as we have the standard deviation for both the groups
For first group - Power and Sample Size
1-Sample t Test
Testing mean = null (versus ≠ null)
Calculating power for mean = null + difference
α = 0.05 Assumed standard deviation = 13

6. The blood glucose level a person varies throughout the day. Someone with a mean glucose level of more than 200 mg/dL is a diabetic. Diabetes is a serious medical condition and may need to be hospitalized or more extensive care. Sally has not been feeling well and her doctor suspects that she is a diabetic and so sends her home with a blood glucose monitor so that she can test her glucose levels over the course of a week....
1.. Give an example of a data set with 6 numbers where the mean is 15 and the median is10. 2. Each of 55 subjects tastes two unmarked cups of coffee and says which he or sheprefers. One cup in each pair contains instant coffee and the other containsfresh-brewed coffee. 35 people prefer fresh-brewed coffee. Is this evidence that amajority of people prefer fresh-brewed coffee? a.Do a significance test to answer the question with a 10% significance level. b.Calculate a...

5. The level of calcium in the blood in healthy young adults varies with a mean of about 9.5 mg per liter and standard deviation of about 0.4. A clinic in rural Guatemala measures the blood calcium of 180 healthy pregnant women at their first visit for prenatal care. The mean is 9.58. Is this an indication that the mean calcium level from which these women come is greater than 9.5? (Assume s = 0.4) a. Give a 90% confidence...

A doctor is performing a clinical trial of a research medication for easing symptoms of emphysema. She recruits 50 patients with the disease and randomly assigns 25 to the treatment group and 25 to the placebo group. After 6 weeks, she measures each patient’s blood oxygen level and compares the sample means of the two groups. She calculates a test statistic of 4.38 and a p-value of 0.0001. She concludes that, since 0.0001 < 0.05, the medication significantly raises blood...
You are conducting a study among diabetic patients to see which type of exercise may benefit their blood glucose levels the most. You will split your patients in to 3 groups (cardio, cardio + weights, and control/no exercise) and after the intervention measure their blood glucose levels and compare the average glucose level between the 3 groups. Which statistical analysis is best suited for the scenario? Select one: Independent t-test Paired t-test One sample t-test ANOVA
Dr. Sellers is planning a study to investigate the effect of a low sugar diet on obese postmenopausal women. The goal of the diet is to reduce urinary sucrose (a type of sugar). From previous studies, Dr. Sellers knows that postmenopausal obese women who are not on low sugar diets have a mean urinary sucrose of 25 mg/d with a standard deviation of 18, and Dr. Sellers would like to have adequate power to test whether women on the low...
You have reviewed EPIC for Mr. Powell and found that he was admitted to the hospital with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. He is 65 years old, is 5’10”, and weighs 280 lbs. He has a history of Type 2 diabetes and is taking clear liquids but will be advanced to a diabetic diet when tolerated. Has a peripheral IV with normal saline running at 100 mL/hr. Mr. Powell complains of nausea, vomiting, muscle pain, weakness, and has voided 100 mL...
