Chapter 4: Q 56. (page 254)

Exercise and heart rate A student project measured the increase in the heart rates of fellow students when they stepped up and down for three minutes to the beat of a metronome. The step was either 5.75or 11.5inches high and the metronome beat was 14,21or 28steps per minute. Five students stepped at each combination of height and speed.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Subject: Combination of height and weight .

Explanatory variables: phase height and metronome speed.

Treatments:There are six height and rate variations.

Response Variables: Heart rate

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

The height of the step was 5.75or 11inches high. The metronome beat was14,21,28.

02

To determine

We need to determine:

Subjects of experimentation, explanatory variables, treatments and response variables.

03

Explanation

Subject: Combination of height and weight attended by five students. Students are subjects also,
Explanatory variables: Response depends on phase height and metronome speed.

Treatments:There are six height and rate variations. The procedures are:

  1. Twenty one steps per minute.
  2. Fourteen steps a minute.
  3. Twenty eight steps in a minute.
  4. Twenty one steps in a minute.
  5. Fourteen steps in a minute.
  6. Twenty eight steps per minute.

Response Variables: Heart rate is response variable as it is measured for five students.

Internet charges (2.1) Some Internet service providers (ISPs) charge companies based on how much bandwidth they use in a month. One method that ISPs use for calculating bandwidth is to find the 95th percentile of a company鈥檚 usage-based on samples of hundreds of 5-minute intervals during a month.

(a) Explain what 鈥�95th percentile鈥� means in this setting.

(b) Which would cost a company more: the 95th percentile method or a similar approach using the

98th percentile? Justify your answer.

Archaeologists plan to examine a sample of 2-meter square plots near an ancient Greek city for artifacts visible in the ground. They choose separate random samples of plots from the floodplain, coast, foothills, and high hills. What kind of sample is this?

(a) A cluster sample

(b) A convenience sample

(c) A simple random sample

(d) A stratified random sample

(e) A voluntary response sample

More rain for California? The changing climate will probably bring more rain to California, but we don鈥檛 know whether the additional rain will come during the

winter wet season or extend into the long dry season in spring and summer. Kenwyn Suttle of the University of California at Berkeley and his coworkers carried

out an experiment to study the effects of more rain in either season. They randomly assigned plots of open grassland to three treatments: added water equal to 20%of annual rainfall either during January to March (winter) or during April to June (spring), and no added water (control). Thirty-six circular plots of area 70square meters were available (see the photo), of which 18were used for this study. One response variable was total plant biomass, in grams per square meter, produced in a plot over a year.

(a) Outline the design of the experiment. What is this type of design called?

(b) Explain how you would randomly assign the experimental units to the three treatments. Then carry out your random assignment.

Do reducing diets work? Dr. Linda Stern and her colleagues recruited 132obese adults at the Philadelphia Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Pennsylvania. Half of the participants were randomly assigned to a low-carbohydrate diet and the other half were assigned to a low-fat diet. Researchers measured each participant鈥檚 change in weight and cholesterol level after six months and again after one year. Subjects in the low-carb diet group lost significantly more weight than subjects in the low-fat diet group during the first six months of the study. At the end of a year, however, the average weight loss for subjects in the two groups was not significantly different.

(a) Why did researchers randomly assign the subjects to the diet treatments?

(b) Explain to someone who knows little statistics what 鈥渓ost significantly more weight鈥� means.

(c) The subjects in the low-carb diet group lost an aver-age of 5.1kg in a year. The subjects in the low-fat diet group lost an average of 3.1kg. Explain how this infor-

mation could be consistent with the fact that weight loss in the two groups was not significantly different.

In the experiment of the previous exercise, the 240 subjects are labeled 001 to 240 The software randomly assigns 60 subjects to each of the four diets. This is

(a) a completely randomized design.

(b) a randomized block design.

(c) a matched pairs design.

(d) an observational study.

(e) an SRS.
