Chapter 4: Q. AP1.4 (page 293)

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

Option (c) A 鈫� (F1, M2), B 鈫� (F3, F2), C 鈫� (F4, M1), D 鈫� (M3, M4) assignments of treatment is impossible.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

We have been given that the eight rats are provided for a certain experiment, four of which are female (F1, F2, F3, F4) and four of which are male (F1, F2, F3, F4) (M1, M2, M3, M4). And, A, B, C, and D are the four treatment groups that will be used.

02

Explanation

It is impossible for a treatment group to have two of the same gender. And, in option c, the D group has two of the same gender.

So, option (c) A鈫�(F1,M2),B鈫�(F3,F2),C鈫�(F4,M1),D鈫�(M3,M4)is the correct answer.

Foster care versus orphanages Do abandoned children placed in foster homes do better than similar children placed in an institution? The Bucharest Early Intervention Project found statistically significant evidence that they do. The subjects were 136young children abandoned at birth and living in orphanages in Bucharest, Romania. Half of the children, chosen at random, were placed in foster homes. The other half remained in the orphanages. (Foster care was not easily available in Romania at the time and so was paid for by the study.) What conclusion can we draw from this study? Explain your reasoning.

Two essential features of all statistically designed experiments are

a. comparing several treatments; using the double-blind method.

b. comparing several treatments; using chance to assign subjects to treatments.

c. always having a placebo group; using the double-blind method.

d. using a block design; using chance to assign subjects to treatments.

e. using enough subjects; always having a control group.

Customer satisfaction A department store mails a customer satisfaction survey to people

who make credit card purchases at the store. This month, 45000people made credit card

purchases. Surveys are mailed to 1000of these people, chosen at random, and 137people

return the survey form. Identify the population and the sample.

Far from home? A researcher wants to estimate the average distance that students at a large community college live from campus. To find out, she surveys a simple random sample of students from the registrar鈥檚 database.

a. Will the researcher鈥檚 sample result be exactly the same as the true population's mean? Explain your answer.

b. Which would be more likely to produce a sample result closer to the true population value: an SRS of 100students or an SRS of 50students? Explain your answer.

Close shave Which of two brands (XorY)of electric razor shaves closer? Researchers

want to design and carry out an experiment to answer this question using 50adult male

volunteers. Here鈥檚 one idea: Have all 50subjects shave the left sides of their faces with the

Brand Xrazor and shave the right sides of their faces with the Brand Yrazor. Then have

each man decide which razor gave the closer shave and compile the results.

a. Identify any flaws you see in the proposed design for this experiment.

b. Describe how you would design the experiment. Explain how your design addresses

each of the problems you identified in part (a).
