(12 points) While obesity is measured based on body fat percentage (more than 35% body fat for women and more than 25% for men), precisely measuring body fat percentage is difficult. Body mass index (BMI), calculated as the ration is often used as an alternative indicator for obesity. A common criticism of BMI is that it assumes the same relative body fat percentage regardless of age, sex, or ethnicity. In order to determine how useful BMI is for predicting body fat percentage across age, sex and ethnic groups, researchers studied 202 black and 504 white adults who resided in or near New York City, were ages 20-94 years old, had BMI of 18-35 and who volunteered to be a part of the study. Participants reported their age, sex, and ethnicity and were measured for weight and height. Body fat percentage was measured by submerging the participants in water. 1.

The 202 black and 504 white men and women who participated in the study 7. Can the findings of the study be generalized to the population? A. No, because the participants volunteered to be a part of the study. B. Yes, because there was racial diversity among the subjects. C. No, because the measurements might be inaccurate. D.

+-/6 points UHStats 6.E.019. My Notes Ask Your Teather Twenty students agreed to participate in a study on colds.

O Yes, because the participants do not know which tablet they are taking. O Yes, because the sugar tablet is designed to look and taste ike vitamin C. O No, because the sugar tablet is designed to look and taste lke vitamin C. O No, because the participants do not know which tablet they are taking. (b) single blind O Yes, because the participants do not know which treatment they have been assigned. O Yes, because neither the researchers nor the participants know which treatment was assigned. O No, because the researchers know the treatment assignment for each participarie No, because the participants know which treatment they are taking. O No, because both the researchers and the participants know which treatment was assigned. () double blind O Yes, because the participants do not know which treatment they have been assigned. O Yes, because neither the researchers nor the participants know which treatment was assigned. O No, because the researchers know the treatment assignment for each participant. O No, because the participants know which treatment they are taking. O No, becase both the researchers and the participants know which treatment was assigned. (d) matched pairs O Yes, because a participant could receive one of two tablets. O Yes, because 10 students were assigned to each group. O Yes, because a researcher was paired with a participant from each group. O No, because a researcher was not paired with a participant from each group. O No, because participants were not paired or matched in any way. (e) repeated measures O Yes, because the participants were measured on a daily basis. O Yes, because the participants were measured twice once at the beginning and once at the end. O No, because participants were given one of two tablets. O No, because the participants are measured only once at the end of the two month period. O No, because the participants are measured only once they come down with a cold. (f) replication Yes, because a participant could receive one of two tablets. O Yes, because 10 students were assigned to each group. O Yes, because a researcher was paired with a participant from each group. O No, because a researcher was not paired with a participant from each group. No, because participants were not paired or matched in any way.
