    Understanding Experiments with Two Groups

    Twenty sets of depressed twins are obtained for a study on the effects of a new antidepressant. In each twin set, one twin is assigned to receive the drug, and the other is designed to receive the placebo. Three months later, depression levels are measured on a scale from 1 (not at all depressed) to 7 (very depressed). The fo

    Hypothesis Testing on Schizophrenic Twins

    See the attached file. Researchers who are interested in schizophrenia examined 15 pairs of identical twins, where one twin was schizophrenic ("affected") and the other was not ("unaffected"). Through MRI studies, they measured the volumes of several regions and subregions within the twin's brains. The data here contains the

    Hypothesis Testing with Types of Errors

    3. At a food processing plant, a machine produces 10 lb bags of sugar. In this particular process, it is important that the sugar content does not go below 9.9 lbs. In fact, when the bags of sugar are less than 9.9 lbs, maintenance is performed on the machine. Consider a hypothesis test where: Ho: X > 9.9 lbs. (In this c

    Testing a Hypotheses

    It is often stated in three-shift manufacturing organizations that the quality of work on the second shift is worse than on the first, and that the quality of work on the third shift is worst of all. How would you go about testing that premise? If there is a difference, what do you think some of the reasons might be?

    Statistics: Evaluating if a theory is true

    At one time, the theory of biorhythms was very popular. The theory behind it is that our lives are affected by three primary cycles: Physical, Emotional, and Intellectual. These three cycles can be plotted as sine waves, beginning at zero on the day that a person is born. When any of the individual cycles is at a high point, the
