1 Chapter 13 Review Name Date Period Write complete answers, using complete sentences where necessary. Show your work when possible. SHORT ANSWER. Write the word or phrase that best completes each statement or answers the question. Determine whether the report describes a prospective observational study, a retrospective observational study, or an experiment. 1) In a group of 500 men and women, those who smoked did worse on tests of reaction time 1) than those who did not smoke. 2) 400 patients suffering from chronic back pain were randomly assigned to one of two groups. Over a four-month period, the first group received acupuncture treatments and the second group received a placebo. Patients who received acupuncture treatments improved more than those who received the placebo. 2) 3) An examination of the medical records of 10, 000 women showed that those who were short and fair skinned had a higher risk of osteoperosis. 3) An observational study is described. Identify the specified element. 4) An educational researcher used school records to determine that in the year 2000 in one school district, 84% of children living in two-parent homes graduated high school while 75% of children living in single-parent homes graduated high school. Determine the parameter of interest. 4) 5) In a group of 500 women, those who smoked moderately did worse on tests of reaction time than those who did not smoke. Identify the subjects studied. 5) 6) Among a group of Canadian men who were tracked for ten years, those who had scored over 130 on intelligence tests were more likely to suffer severe depression than those who had scored below 130 on intelligence tests. Identify the subjects studied. 6) MULTIPLE CHOICE. Choose the one alternative that best completes the statement or answers the question. 7) At St. Luke's hospital in 1998, 674 women were diagnosed with breast cancer. Five years later, 88% of the Caucasian women and 83% of the African American women were still alive. Determine the nature and scope of the conclusion the study can reach. A) For Caucasian and African American women with breast cancer, attending St. Luke's hospital causes an increased chance of surviving five years. B) Since there is no random assignment, there is no way to know that being Caucasian causes women with breast cancer an increased chance of surviving five years; there may have been confounding variables. C) For women with breast cancer, being Caucasian causes an increased chance of surviving five years. D) Since the study is limited to Caucasian and African American women, no conclusion can be reached. E) Since there is no random assignment, there is no way to know that being Caucasian causes women with breast cancer an increased chance of surviving five years; there may have been lurking variables. 7) 1

3 12) A researcher wants to examine the effect of fertilizer and the effect of sunlight on the yield of tomatoes. She bought 60 tomato plants at a local garden store. She randomly assigned 30 tomato plants to be planted on the sunny side of the hill and 30 to be planted on the shady side. The 30 plants which are planted on the shady side are randomly assigned to one of three groups.

The 30 plants which are planted on the sunny side are likewise randomly assigned to one of three groups. The first group are grown with no fertilizer, the second group with a small amount of fertilizer and the third group with a large amount of fertilizer. All tomato plants are planted at the same time and are all treated alike (in terms of how much they are watered, weeded etc). Each plant is grown to maturity. The total weight of tomatoes obtained from each plant is recorded. Identify the factor(s) and the number of levels for each. A) Sunny, shady (2 levels) B) Fertilizer (3 levels), blocking variable - location (2 levels) C) No fertilizer, small amount of fertilizer, large amount of fertilizer (3 levels) D) No fertilizer and sunny, small amount of fertilizer and sunny, large amount of fertilizer and sunny, no fertilizer and shady, small amount of fertilizer and shady, large amount of fertilizer and shady (6 levels) E) Fertilizer (3 levels), location (2 levels) 12) Describe the design of the experiment (completely randomized or blocked). 13) In a clinical trial, 780 participants suffering from high blood pressure were randomly assigned to one of three groups. Over a one-month period, the first group received a low dosage of an experimental drug, the second group received a high dosage of the drug, and the third group received a placebo. The diastolic blood pressure of each participant was measured at the beginning and at the end of the period and the change in blood pressure was recorded. The biggest decrease in blood pressure was for those who received the low dosage of the drug.

The 30 plants which are planted on the sunny side are likewise randomly assigned to one of three groups. The first group are grown with no fertilizer, the second group with a small amount of fertilizer, and the third group with a large amount of fertilizer.

She bought 60 tomato plants at a local garden store. She randomly assigned 30 tomato plants to be planted on the sunny side of the hill and 30 to be planted on the shady side. Within each group of 30 plants, she randomly assigned plants to one of three groups. The first group is grown with no fertilizer, the second group with a small amount of fertilizer, and the third group with a large amount of fertilizer.

The person evaluating the results does not know which tomatoes received fertilizer or which were grown on the sunny side. A) Single-blind B) Double-blind C) Neither 16) 780 men suffering from high blood pressure were randomly assigned to one of two groups. Over a four-month period, the first group received an experimental drug and the second group received a placebo.

She designs an experiment as follows. She will obtain a group of volunteers suffering from anxiety. They will be given a test to measure the level of their anxiety. Volunteers will be randomly assigned to one of three groups. Those in group 1 will do breathing exercises for 15 minutes per day, those in group 2 will do breathing exercises for 30 minutes per day, and those in group 3 (control group) will do no breathing exercises. After a suitable time period, each person will again take the anxiety test. The researcher will compare the average change in score for the three groups.
