Q5. Some years ago, there were many news reports about the “Paleo diet”. It was claimed that the Paleo Diet would result in weight loss as well as prevention and control of many “diseases of civilization”.

A news channel decides to check this out. It recruits people who have followed the diet for the past year and selects 100 at random. It also recruits people who have not followed the diet and selects 100 at random. It finds that there is more weight loss in the diet group, and that this result is ‘statistically significant’.

Which of the following statements are true?

This is a randomized controlled experiment.
It is possible that the difference in weight loss is due to the placebo effect.
If a future carefully run randomized controlled experiment reveals that the paleo diet does not result in weight loss, then we can conclude that the weight loss observed above must be due to the placebo effect.

Resampling

Q1. We want to use the Monte Carlo method to estimate the probability of getting exactly one ace (one spot) in three rolls of die.

Which of the following is a correct description for doing this?

To simulate the roll of a die, we draw a number at random (with replacement) from 1,2,3,4,5,6. To simulate the probability in question with B=1000 Monte Carlo simulations, we simulate the roll of a die 3B=3000 times and count the number of times an ace comes up. Then we divide this number by 3B. The resulting proportion is our Monte Carlo estimate.
To simulate three rolls of a die, we draw three times a number at random (with replacement) from 1,2,3,4,5,6. If we get the number `1′ exactly once, then we label this trial to be a success. We repeat this B=1000 times. The proportion of successes in these 1000 trials is our Monte Carlo estimate of the probability in question.
To simulate three rolls of a die, we draw three times a number at random (with replacement) from 1,2,3,4,5,6. We repeat this simulation many times until we get the number `1′ exactly once, then we stop. The desired Monte Carlo estimate is 1/(number of repetitions).

Q2. We want to use the Monte Carlo Method to approximate the standard error of our estimate from Question 1.

Which of the following is a correct description for doing this?

We compute the standard deviation of the all the numbers we simulated in Question 1.
In each of the B=1000 trials we simulated in Question 1, if the trial results in a success (i.e. `1′ shows exactly once), then we give that trial the label 1, otherwise the label 0. We compute the standard deviation of these 1000 labels.
We repeat the whole Monte Carlo simulation done in Question 1 many times (e.g. 2000 times). Each time we get an estimate of the probability in question. We compute the standard deviation of these 2000 estimates.

One-Way Analysis of Variance

Q1. An online retailer strongly suspects that customers purchase more in the following month if they are shown a company ad more often. To confirm that hunch they randomly select 50 customers who are then sent one ad, 45 customers who are sent two ads, and 52 customers who are sent three ads.

Which is the null hypothesis?

the spending means for the three groups are the same.
the spending means increase with the number of ads

Q2. Based on the description of the experiment in the previous question and the boxplots below, do you think that the assumptions of ANOVA are met?

Yes

Q3. Based on the ANOVA table below and the boxplots, what is the conclusion of the analysis?

There is no statistically significant effect.
There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the spending means to increase with the number of ads.
There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the spending means are not equal, but based on this analysis alone we cannot conclude that the spending means to increase with the number of ads.

Q4. Does eye color effect the type of vision correction that patients choose? From a large dataset of patients having vision correction, 70 patients were chosen randomly from those having brown eyes, 70 from those having green eyes, and 70 from those having blue eyes. For each patient, the type of vision correction was coded as follows: glasses=1, contact lenses=2, corrective surgery=3. Those numbers were used for an ANOVA, which resulted in a p-value of 0.5%.

Does the p-value of 0.5% mean that there is strong evidence that that eye color has an effect on the type of vision correction that patients choose?

Q5. A clinical trial aims to discern whether twelve interventions against high blood pressure have different effects. The study randomizes 10,000 subjects into twelve groups. Each group is administered one of the twelve interventions. After a month the change in blood pressure is measured for each subject. The ANOVA table gives a p-value of 17%. The investigators also perform pairwise two-sample t-tests for all pairs of treatments and find that two pairs show a statistically significant difference.

Which of the following options describes a valid conclusion?

There is not enough evidence to conclude that the twelve treatment means are different.
We can conclude that there are differences between the two pairs of treatments that were found to be significant by the two-sample t-tests.

Multiple Comparisons

Q1. Recall that a “discovery” occurs when a test rejects the null hypothesis. In the medical literature a discovery is called a “positive result”. So a “false positive” is a “false discovery”.

What is the false discovery proportion (FDP) of the procedure that yielded the following results:

9/9+36

Q2. A medical study examines whether there is a significant correlation between any of the 12 lifestyle choices and high blood pressure. It doesn’t find any significant correlation, but upon further examination, the researchers find a highly significant (p-value <0.5%) correlation between two of the lifestyle choices. This correlation seems not to have been noticed before.

Which of the following three statements is an appropriate summary of these findings? Select all that apply.

The correlation between these two lifestyle choices is highly significant and should be reported as such.
The seemingly significant correlation was found as a consequence of data snooping and therefore the pp-value is not valid. The researchers shouldn’t report anything.
The seemingly significant correlation was found as a consequence of data snooping and therefore the pp-value is not valid. However, this could potentially be a significant new finding. The researchers can report it as such, pointing out that they cannot attach a valid pp-value to this finding. It can serve as a hypothesis for a future study with new data, which would then allow for statistically valid conclusions.

Q3. 1,000 tests were evaluated with the Bonferroni correction. 31 tests had corrected pp-values smaller than 5%.

Which of the following three statements is an appropriate conclusion?

If we reject these 31 null hypotheses then we can expect that about 5% of them are rejected in error.
This is sufficient evidence to reject all of these 31 null hypotheses because there is only a 5% chance that any of these 31 pp-values would be this small if the null hypotheses were true.
There is a 95% probability that all of these 31 null hypotheses are false.

Q4. 1,000 tests were evaluated with the FDR at the 5% level, which resulted in 31 discoveries.

Which of the following three statements is an appropriate conclusion?

There is a 95% probability that all of these 31 null hypotheses are false.
This is sufficient evidence to reject all of these 31 null hypotheses, because there is only a 5% chance that any of these 31 pp-values would be this small if the null hypothesis were true.
If we reject these 31 null hypotheses then we can expect that about 5% of them are rejected in error.
