Questions
Dоctоrаl Quаlifying Exаminatiоn Cydney Williams (U58635017) Summer 2026 Day 3 (Research) Suppose that you are part of a research group that has interest in the effects of parent-child interaction therapy (PCIT) on the well-being of parents and their children. You have been asked to plan a study that fits within the general interests of the group. Your response to this item should be a draft proposal for the study. Please make sure you explain the rationale for your decisions and the limitations of your proposal. Within the draft you should address the following issues: Formulate a specific research question (or questions) that would be addressed through the research. Discuss the significance of the question(s) from a theoretical, practical, and/or policy point of view. Describe who will participate in your study. What are your inclusion/exclusion criteria? How will you select participants? How many participants will participate? What research design will you use? What are the advantages and limitations of this choice? Describe the procedures you will use. What data will be collected? How will reliability, validity, and/or credibility be documented? Describe the procedures for data analysis that you will use. What assumptions underly these methods and how will you evaluate the tenability of these assumptions? Identify and discuss limitations to your research, ethical considerations, and challenges that may arise in the conduct of the study. Discuss any other issues that you think are relevant to the conduct of this study.

A study exаmines the relаtiоnship between the number оf hоurs students spend on sociаl media each day and the number of hours they spend studying each week. The correlation coefficient (r) is calculated to be -0.82. What does this value suggest about the relationship between the two variables?
It is cоmmоnly believed thаt drinking crаnberry juice mаy help prevent urinary tract infectiоns (UTIs) in women. A study was conducted to examine whether regular consumption of cranberry juice reduces the occurrence of UTIs. In this study, 200 women were randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups: cranberry juice, lactobacillus, or a control group. Over a specified period, researchers recorded how many women in each group were diagnosed with a UTI. The results are summarized in the contingency table below. Cranberry Lactobacillus Control UTI 20 28 27 No UTI 50 32 43 (a) The following table lists the expected counts corresponding to the observed data listed above. Calculate the missing expected count (i.e the expected number of women who were diagnosed with UTI while having Cranberry). Cranberry Lactobacillus Control Total UTI ??? 22.50 26.25 No UTI 43.75 37.50 43.75 Total Missing expected count: [EC] (Round your answer to 2 decimal places) (b) The following table shows the contribution of each cell to the chi-squared test statistic. Calculate the missing chi-squared value and determine the total chi-squared test statistic. Cranberry Lactobacillus Control UTI ??? 1.344 0.021 No UTI 0.893 0.807 0.013 Missing chi-squared value: [chi] (Round your answer to 3 decimal places) Total chi-squared value: [TS] (Round your answer to 3 decimal places) (c) Determine the degrees of freedom for the chi-squared test: [DF] (d) Calculate the p-value to test whether there is an association between three different treatments and dignosing with UTI: [PVAL] (Round your answer to 3 decimal places) (e) State your decision at the 0.05 level of significance. Enter R if you reject the null hypothesis, or N if you do not reject it: [DEC]
