A pharmaceutical company tested three formulations of a pain relief medicine for migraine headache sufferers. For the experiment, 27 volunteers were selected and 9 were randomly assigned to one of three drug formulations. The subjects were instructed to take the drug during their next migraine headache episode and to report their pain on a scale of 1 = no pain to 10 = extreme pain 30 minutes after taking the drug. Using ? = 0.05, can it be concluded that a significant difference exists in the average pain relief among the three formulations? Use the Excel ANOVA output shown here to answer questions 9 through 13.

A study is performed to compare several different pain reducing medications for the treatment of migraine headaches. The drugs tested are: Placebo, Tylenol, Excedrin, Imitrex. Four hundred migraine sufferers were recruited for the study and they were randomly assigned to one of the four groups and were given unmarked tablets to take when they had a migraine. The effectiveness of pain relief was documented with a survey and compared between groups. Which statistical test should be used to compare the pain relief effectiveness between the four groups? a. Independent t-test b. Dependent t-test c. One way ANOVA d. Repeated measures ANOVA

Pharmaceutical manufacturers have been researching a new formula to provide quicker relief of minor pains. Their laboratories have produced several different formulas which they wanted to test. Fifteen people who complained of minor pains were recruited for an experiment. Five were given formula 1, five were given formula 2, and the last five were given formula 3. Each participant was asked to take the medicine and report the length of time until they felt some relief. To test the null hypothesis that all population average relief times are equal, the results of the ANOVA are given below: At a 0.05 level of significance, we

Doctors identify “chronic tension-type headaches” as headaches that occur almost daily for at least six months. Can antidepressant medications or stress management training reduce the number and severity of these headaches? Are both together more effective than either alone? Investigators compared four treatments: antidepressant alone, placebo alone, antidepressant plus stress management, and placebo plus stress management. The headache sufferers named in the following table have agreed to participate in the study.
