Chapter 4: Q AP1.4. (page 276)

For a certain experiment, the available experimental units are eight rats, of which four are female (F1,F2,F3,F4) and four are male (M1,M2,M3,M4) There are to be four treatment groups,A,B,C, and D If a randomized

block design is used, with the experimental units blocked by gender, which of the following assignments of treatments is impossible?

(a) A 鈫� (F1, M1), B 鈫� (F2, M2),

C鈫� (F3, M3), D 鈫� (F4, M4)

(b) A 鈫� (F1, M2), B 鈫� (F2, M3),

C鈫� (F3, M4), D 鈫� (F4, M1)

(c) A 鈫� (F1, M2), B 鈫� (F3, F2),

C鈫� (F4, M1), D 鈫� (M3, M4)

(d) A 鈫� (F4, M1), B 鈫� (F2, M3),

C鈫� (F3, M2), D 鈫� (F1, M4)

(e) A 鈫� (F4, M1), B 鈫� (F1, M4),

C鈫� (F3, M2), D 鈫� (F2, M3)

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct option is

A鈫�(F1,M2),B鈫�(F3,F2),C鈫�(F4,M1),D鈫�(M3,M4)

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Number of females = F1, F2, F3, F4 = 4

Number of males = M1,M2,M3,M4 = 4

02

Concept

The treatments are randomly assigned to all of the experimental units in a completely randomized design.

03

Explanation

The gender-blocking design is utilized with units.

Number of treatments A,B,C,D=4

Gender is used to block experimental units.

Male and female combinations of any kind are possible, but they must not be of the same gender.

Look, Ma, no hands! Does talking on a hands-free cell phone distract drivers? Researchers recruit 40student subjects for an experiment to investigate this question. They have a driving simulator equipped with a hands-free phone for use in the study.

(a) Researchers are considering the design shown in the figure below. What type of design is this?

(b) Explain how blocking could be used to improve the design in (a).

(c) Why is it important to randomly assign the treatments within each block?

An example of a non-sampling error that can reduce the accuracy of a sample survey is

(a) using voluntary response to choose the sample.

(b) using the telephone directory as the sampling frame.

(c) interviewing people at shopping malls to obtain a sample.

(d) variation due to chance in choosing a sample at random.

(e) inability to contact many members of the sample.

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.

A sampling at the mall You have probably seen the mall interviewer, approaching people passing by with a clipboard in hand. Explain why even a large sample of mall shoppers would not provide a trustworthy estimate of the current unemployment rate.

A survey paid for by makers of disposable diapers found that 84% of the sample opposed banning disposable diapers. Here is the actual question:

It is estimated that disposable diapers account for less than 2%of the trash in today鈥檚 landfills. In contrast, beverage containers, third-class mail, and yard wastes are estimated to account for about 21% of the trash in landfills. Given this, in your opinion, would it be fair to ban disposable diapers? Explain how the wording of the question could result in bias. Be sure to specify the direction of the bias.
