You are designing an experiment to test the effect of a new high blood pressure drug. You will have 1,000 participants divided into three groups: 300 people will be in a control group receiving a pill that has no active ingredient; 350 people will receive a low dose of the new drug; 350 people will receive a high dose of the new drug. Which variable(s) should be standard across all treatment groups? Choose one or more: A. the approximate age of the participants B. perfectly healthy blood pressure levels C. the blood pressure measurement of all the participants during the experiment D. the general state of health of all the participants E. the amount of drug each participant in a test group receives

1. A group of researchers investigated the effect of a drug call pressure why on lowering blood pressure in a group of men between the ages of 50 and 70 years old. The researchers did the following experiment and obtain the indicated results: One group of 150 men took a tablet contain and pressure drop Y for three weeks - 95 of these men experience decrease blood pressure by at least 10%. Another group of 150 men were given a tablet with no added pressure drop Y or three weeks - 10 of these men experience decreased in their blood pressure by 10%. What is the dependent variable in this experiment? A. Amount of pressure drop Y B. Blood pressure C. The age and gender of the participants D. The three week time period and sample size of 150 E. The group of men that received the pills with no added pressure drop Y

Provide an appropriate response. A medical researcher wishes to try three different techniques to lower blood pressure of patients with high blood pressure. The subjects are randomly selected and assigned to one of three groups. Group 1 is given medication, Group 2 is given an exercise program, and Group 3 is assigned a diet program. At the end of six weeks, each subject's blood pressure is recorded. Find the critical value F 0 to test the claim that there is no difference among the means. Use Ě‘ = 0.05. Group 1 Group 2 Group 3 11 8 8 12 3 12 13 2 4 15 5 4 9 4 9 8 0 6 39.43 3.68 19.43 4.77
