- ANSWER-None of the above
- A double-blind study is one in which neither the participants nor the experimenters know who is receiving a particular treatment. This procedure is utilized to prevent bias in research results. Double-blind studies are particularly useful for preventing bias due to demand characteristics or the placebo effect.
- Counterbalancing is a type of experimental design in which all possible orders of presenting the variables are included.
- For example, if you have two groups of participants (group 1 and group 2) and two levels of an independent variable (level 1 and level 2), you would present one possible order (group 1 gets level 1 while group 2 gets level 2) first and then present the opposite order (group 1 gets level 2 while group 2 gets level 1). This way you can measure the effects in all possible situations.

Scenario 4. A researcher is interested in studying whether a new mobile app can help to reduce depression. She gives 14 participants the new app and measures their depression levels before using the app, and after using the app to see if depression levels change. Null hypothesis- H0: uposttest = upretest Alternative hypothesis- H1: uposttest ≠ upretest Independent variable- the phones the participants use Dependent variable- depression levels Using a dependent sample t-test 1) Imagine that you actually did the study...

show all work. say a researcher is interested in testing the effectiveness of a new stress reduction method. She thinks, or predicts based on previous research, that the new method should reduce stress. one randonmly selected person (our subject) is trained in this method and his stress is measured (low values mean low stress). It is known that stress level of people in the general population has a mean of 40 and a standard deviation of 10. the score of...

A pharmaceutical company is testing a new drug to increase memorization ability. It takes a sample of individuals and splits them randomly into two groups: group 1 takes the drug, group 2 takes a placebo. After the drug regimen is completed, all members of the study are given a test for memorization ability with higher scores representing a better ability to memorize. Those 30 participants on the drug had an average test score of 32.74 (SD = 4.858) while those...

QUESTION 1 When transforming bacterial cells, a researcher is interested in generating bacteria that exogenously express the gene that encodes GFP (green fluorescent protein). After transformation, she finds that no bacteria colonies grew on her selective media. Which of the following best explains the results of her transformation protocol? The concentration of the antibiotics in the selection media was too low, therefore no bacteria grew. Her bacterial cells were not competent so they took up excessive amounts of...

2. Researchers are evaluating a new drug for the treatment of Type II diabetes. They ran- domly assign 20 volunteers with a history of poor glucose control levels to two groups the Treatment group gets the experimental drug on trial, while the Control group re- ceives a standard drug. At the end of the clinical trial, participants have their A1C (glycated hemoglobin, a measure of long-term blood glucose levels) tested, the results are summarized in the table below Group A1C...
