Does listening to a pro-socialized medicine lecture
change an individual’s attitude toward socialized
medicine?
A random sample of 10 young men was taken and the heart rate
(HR) of each young man was measured before and after taking
a cup of caffeinated coffee. The results were (beats / min):

Subject HR before HR a er difference

1 68 74 +6
2 64 68 +4
3 52 60 +8
4 76 72 4
5 78 76 -2
6 62 68 +6
7 66 72 +6
8 76 76 0
9 78 80 +2
10 60 64 +4
mean 68 71 +3
 A) Does caffeinated coffee have any effect on the heart rate
of young men ? ( level of significance = .05)

B) Find the 95% C.I. for the mean of the population

differences.

We have 20 subjects, all males between the ages 25 and 35 who

volunteer for our experiment. One half of the group will be
given coffee containing caffeine; the other half will be given
decaffeinated coffee as the placebo control. We measure the
pulse rate after the subjects drink their coffee. The results are:
Pulse rates in beats / minute
Caffeine 76 , 80 , 78 , 84 , 72,66,68, 76,76,74.
Placebo 72 76 66 68 68 74 60 64 72 60
Mean 68 75 Variance 31.11 28.67

A) Test the hypothesis that caffeine has no effect on the

pulse rates of young men (α = .05).
B) Find the 95% C.I. for the population mean difference.
