Chapter 1: Q 26. (page 33)

Doughnuts and Fat. A classic study, conducted in 1935 by B. Lowe at the Iowa Agriculture Experiment Station, analyzed differences in the amount of fat absorbed by doughnuts in cooking with four different fats. For the experiment, 24 batches of doughnuts were randomly divided into four groups of 6 batches each. The four groups were then randomly assigned to the four fats. What type of statistical design was used for this study? Explain your answer.

Short Answer

Expert verified

This study is a completely randomized design.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information.

The given statement is:

24 batches of doughnuts were randomly divided into four groups of six batches each for the experiment.

The four groups were then randomized to the four fats at random.

02

Step 2. Identify the type of statistical design used for this study.

The given information says that the researcher divided the 24 batches of doughnuts randomly into four groups forming six batches each.

These four groups were then randomly assigned to the four fats, as in a completely randomized design where all the experimental units are assigned randomly among all the treatments.

What鈥檚 Wrong? In Exercises 25鈥�28, identify what is wrong.

Potatoes In a poll sponsored by the Idaho Potato Commission, 1000 adults were asked to select their favorite vegetables, and the favorite choice was potatoes, which were selected by 26% of the respondents.

Determine whether the given source has the potential to create a bias in a statistical study.

Brain Size. A data set in Appendix B includes brain volumes from 10 pairs of monozygotic (identical) twins. The data were collected by researchers at Harvard University, Massachusetts General Hospital, Dartmouth College, and the University of California at Davis.

In Exercises 21鈥�24, refer to the data in the table below. The entries are white blood cell counts (1000 cells,ML) and red blood cell counts (million cells,ML) from male subjects examined as part of a large health study conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics. The data are matched, so that the first subject has a white blood cell count of 8.7 and a red blood cell count of 4.91, and so on.

Conclusion: If we analyze the sample data and conclude that there is a correlation between white blood cell counts and red blood cell counts, does it follow that higher white blood cell counts are the cause of higher red blood cell counts?

Correlation. One study showed that for a recent period of 11 years, there was a strong correlation (or association) between the numbers of people who drowned in swimming pools and the amounts of power generated by nuclear power plants (based on data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Department of Energy). Does this imply that increasing power from nuclear power plants is the cause of more deaths in swimming pools? Why or why not?

In Exercises 21鈥�24, refer to the data in the table below.
