‘ i 3) After the State of the Union address, a poll comes on the screen and asks the watcher to go to the website sl Rosponse S ox))inions.com/mattcrs to let the station know what you thought of the State of the Union address. Of those v.vho responded, 89% of them said that they were not happy with the State of the Union address. Explain why this opinion poll is almost certainly biased. 1) Migraines are headaches that cause severe throbbi; in (among oth i lit:c for those that suffer chronically with them.

Another research institute suggests that a diet change might also prompt less frequent and severe migraines. Do one of these alone reduce migraines?

Researchers want to compare four treatments: antidepressant alone, place one, antidepressant plus diet, and placebo iet. i i i i i i completely randomized experiment involving 36 headache saffea s who &“&fi;‘ifii&ifi?&'fiffi this ARG SRR B sy guextit. b the question clear? st slanted toward a experiment. desired response? (a) “Moms who do not properly install their car seats are putting their infants at risk in an automobile accident. Do you think that they should be a mandatory training for moms before they leave the hospital on the proper installation of their car seats?" (b) "Do you believe in a national system of health care, because it would cover all the medical costs for anyone who needs a procedure?" (¢) "Anticoagulation for VTE increases the risk of ICH in subjects with malignant brain tumors. Do you support using VTE in glioma patients?" 2) For the problem above, you run the experiment again, this time with 100 volunteers, 50 males and 50 females. Describe and design a block experiment. 5) Dr. Statie wanted to conduct an experiment to see which diet trend allowed the volunteers in his study to lose the most weight. There are 2450 volunteers who are ready to commit to a diet plan to lose weight. Half of the participants were randomly assigned to the paleo diet (A paleo diet is a dietary plan based on foods similar to what might have been eaten during the Paleolithic era) and the other half to a keto diet (ketogenic diet, which is the strictest form of a low-carb diet, is to force the body into ketosis, which occurs when the body doesn’t consume enough carbohydrates and breaks down fat to use as energy instead). Researchers measured each participant’s change in weight and cholesterol level after six months and again after one year. Explain how each of the four principles of experimental design was used in this study. Comparison Control Randomization Replication
