Hi pleas I need help for my homework

Progress Check

Use this activity to assess whether you and your peers can:

  • Create a contingency table in StatCrunch.
  • Use conditional percentages to analyze the data in a contingency table.
  • Draw conclusions based on the analysis of the data in a contingency table.

Three steps to complete the assignment

Step 1: Review the Rubric

  • Before you submit your work, review the rubric at the bottom of this assignment.
  • Use the rubric as a checklist to determine whether you are ready to submit your work.

Step 2: First Draft

  • Commit a good-faith effort to address each item in the Prompt section below.
  • Please be sure to number your responses and include “white space” between problem numbers. This improves the readability and flow of your work. I cannot give feedback and grade jumbled work.
  • Use either of the following options to submit your work.
    OPTION 1: You can submit a text-entry assignment (i.e. typing your answers in Canvas). To learn how to submit a text-entry assignment, use these (opens in a new tab).
    OPTION 2: You can upload your paper-and-pencil work (or the digital equivalent). To learn how to upload your paper-and-pencil work, use these (opens in a new tab). WARNING – some file types may not be visible on my end. So to learn which files you can upload, be sure to use the directions link I provided for this option.
  • Not ready to submit a good-faith effort yet? Avoid frustration – use the link to the Questions, Answers, & Tips discussion board (at the bottom of this page) to post questions about this assignment (or visit the discussion board to answer your classmates’ questions). You can also contact me directly (see the homepage for my contact information).

Step 3: Optional Final Draft

  • After you submit your good-faith attempt to fully respond to the questions in the Prompt section below, advance to the ANSWER(S) page.
  • You can use the ANSWER(S) page to correct your work and resubmit this assignment any time before I begin grading the problems. However, to earn full credit, you are not required to submit a final draft for this assignment. But if you do submit a final draft, I will only grade it if you submitted a good-faith effort on your first draft.
  • Warning – I will only grade your most recent submission. So if you choose to submit a final draft, please do not leave anything out, and please do not direct me to read an earlier submission. To maximize your score, your most recent submission (at the time I begin grading) must be complete.

Context

Clinical depression is a recurrent illness requiring treatment and often hospitalization. Nearly 50% of people who have an episode of major depression will have a recurrence within 2-3 years. Being able to prevent the recurrence of depression in people who are at risk for the disease would go a long way to alleviate the pain and suffering of patients.

During the 1980s the federal government, through the National Institutes of Health (NIH), sponsored a large clinical trial to evaluate two drugs for depression. There were 3 treatment groups. Patients received either Imipramine (Imip), Lithium (Li), or a Placebo (Pl). Researchers randomly assigned patients to one of the 3 treatment groups and followed them for 2-4 years to track any recurrences of depression.
(Prien et al., Archives of General Psychiatry, 1984).


Variables

  • Hospt: Which hospital the patient was from: Labeled 1, 2, 3, 5 or 6
  • Treat: 0=Lithium; 1=Imipramine; 2=Placebo
  • Outcome: 0=Success 1=Failure (recurrence of depression)
  • Time: Number of weeks until a recurrence (if outcome=1) or until study ended (if outcome=0)
  • AcuteT: How long the patient was depressed before the start of the current study, measured in days
  • Age: Age in years
  • Gender: 1=Female 2=Male

Data

  • If you have not already done so, open the depression data set in the Stats at Cuyamaca College group on StatCrunch ( – opens in a new tab).

Prompt

We will analyze the data to answer the 1st research question: Which of the drugs (if either) was more successful in preventing the recurrence of depression relative to the placebo?

In the previous lab-preparation activity, we determined that we will analyze the data using a two-way table and conditional percentages.

Question 1

Use StatCrunch to produce a two-way contingency table. ()
To create a meaningful table with your response, complete each of the following.

      • Copy the table in your StatCrunch output window and paste it into the textbox. ()
      • After you paste the content of your StatCrunch output window into the textbox, keep the table titled Contingency table results: and delete the Chi-Square results: table.
      • Make your contingency table more meaningful to the reader. Use the Treat and Outcome variable descriptions (provided above in the Variables section) to replace the numeric row labels and the numeric column labels with meaningful words. How do we replace the row and column labels? After you copy and paste the contingency table into your response, click in an appropriate table cell, delete the numeric label, and type the appropriate “word” label.

Question 2

Analyze the data in your two-way table by finding appropriate conditional percentages. Write each conditional percentage as a ratio (e.g. 25 out of 40) and as a percentage (e.g. 25/40 = 62.5%). Then write a sentence that explains the meaning of the percentage in the context of the research question.

Question 3

Draw a conclusion. Based on this study, which drug was the most effective in preventing the recurrence of depression? Support your conclusion using conditional percentages.
