EXERCISE 11 1. What demographic variables were measured at least at the interval level of measurement? Age (yrs)‚ Income (annual)($)‚ Length of labor (hrs)‚ Return to work (wks)‚ and Number of hours working per week were measured at least at the interval level of measurement 2. What statistics were used to describe the length of labor in this study? Were these appropriate? The variable length of labor were used to describe by ratio data that can be described by using mean‚ range‚ and standard

Researchers routinely choose an alpha level of 0.05 for testing their hypotheses. What are some experiments for which you might want a lower alpha level (e.g.‚ 0.01)? What are some situations in which you might accept a higher level (e.g.‚ 0.1)? EXERCISE 20 Questions to be Graded 1. Which patient scored the highest on the preoperative CVLT Acquisition? What was his or her T score? 2. Which patient scored the lowest on postoperative CVLT Retrieval? What was this patient’s T score? 3. Did the patient

Sohal‚ S 04/05/11 (HLT-362 V) Applied Statistics for Healthcare Professionals Exercise 18 Q1. Assuming that the distribution is normal for weight relative to the ideal and 99% of the male participants scored between ( - 53.68‚ 64.64)‚where did 95% of the values for weight relative to the ideal lie? Round your answer to two decimal places. Answer: Mean of weight relative to ideal = 5.48 and Standard Deviation (σ) = 22.93. Calculation: (x bar) 1.96(σ) 5.48± 1.96(22.93) 5.48 - 1.96(22.93)

Questions to be Graded 1. What are the two groups whose results are reflected by the t ratios in Tables 2 and 3? Answer: The two groups that are reflected by the t rations in table 2 and 3 are the Program effects of cardiovascular risk factors (Table 2) and program effect on Health behavior (Table 3). 2. Which t ratio in Table 2 represents the greatest relative or standardized difference between the pretest and 3 months outcomes? Is this t ratio statistically significant? Provide a rationale

EXERCISE 36 6. Can ANOVA be used to test proposed relationships or predicted correlations between variables in a single group? Provide rationale for your answer. ANOVA cannot be used to test proposed relationships or predicted correlations between variables in a single group because it is designed to test for correlations and interactions amongst groups‚ i.e. in the test group of patients with OA you are testing the correlations between those who do not use GI and PMR and those that do. Although

Exercise 11 Questions to be graded March 16‚ 2014 1. What demographic variables were measured at least at the interval level of measurements? Age‚ income‚ length of labor‚ return to work‚ and number of hours working per week 2. What statistics were used to describe the length of labor in the study? Were these appropriate? Mean and standard deviation were used to describe the length of labor. Yes‚ these were appropriate because a mean (M) can only be used to calculate on interval (and
