. Consider a candy with 4 flavors; assume that you have a bag of this candy with many pieces of each. Imagine that you are on a strict diet that only allows you to eat 4 pieces of candy, and that to maximize your enjoyment of your treat, you will be eating this candy one piece at a time. Third, how many steps are there in this experiment? Note that the numbers of candy pieces may have changed from the previous question

Peter is conducting an experiment to determine whether a new medication is effective in reducing swelling. He gets 1,500 volunteers with swelling and divides them into two groups. The control group does not receive any medication; the treatment group receives the medicationThe patients in the treatment group show reduced signs of swelling. What can Peter conclude from this experiment?
You've just completed a depleting, or mentally draining task. After doing so do you think you would perform better than, the same as, or worse than other participants on a new task that requires you to be creative if the task is described as hard (as compared to if that task is described as easy)? In this experiment, participants in the control group (the non-depleted group) were given 4 minutes to write a short story about a place they had recently visited (a relatively easy task). A second group of participants (the depleted group) was given the same task but they were told not to use the letters "U" and "K" in the story-a mucher harder task. After the first task, all participants were told that they would next participate in a study of creativity. They were told that while creativity sometimes arises through inspiration, it can also come about through perseverance. All participants were told that they should use perseverance to get through the creative task. The catch? Half of the…
Wheat Box Breakfast Company is developing new flavors of breakfast cereal. They want to see what people think of Croonchy Crisp, their newest cereal. They create 3 different Croonchy Crisp recipes and serve it to 3 different groups. Each group eats 2 bowls of Croonchy Crisp and grades it on taste, smell, and (of course) croonchiness. Is this an observational or experimental study?
Imagine you work for a psychological testing agenccy and you have been assigned the role of analyzing the data. The experiment involves testing 4 different drugs in treating 20 asthma patients. They were each asked to take the 4 different drugs in 4 different weeks and record how many attacks they had while taking each drug per week. Explain one challenge you may experience with this experiment?
Can a person train to become better at holding their breath? An experiment was designed to find out. Twelve volunteers were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 groups. The 6 volunteers assigned to group 1 were given breath-holding exercises to perform for 2 weeks. The other group was not given any information about the experiment. At the end of the 2 weeks, all 12 volunteers were individually tested to determine how long they could hold their breath. Here are the data (in seconds). Group 1: 90, 88, 70, 110, 75, 105 Group 2: 40, 48, 35, 50, 55, 62 The researcher would like to determine if these data provide convincing evidence that the true mean amount of time volunteers who were given training held their breath is greater than volunteers without training. Let ₁ = the true mean amount of time that volunteers who were given training held their breath and ₂ = the true mean amount of time that volunteers without training held their breath. What are the appropriate hypotheses? Ho: U1 - U2 = 0, Ha:…
