. One classical experiment on ESP (extrasensory perception) tests for the ability of an individual to show telepathy–to read the mind of another individual. This test uses five cards with different designs, all known to both participants. In a trial, the “sender" sees a randomly chosen card and concentrates on its design. The “receiver" attempts to guess the identity of the card. Each of the five cards is equally likely to be chosen, and only one card is the correct answer at any point. a. Out of 10 trials, a receiver got four cards correct. What is her success rate? What is her expected rate of success, assuming she is only guessing? b. Is her higher actual success rate reliable evidence that the receiver has telepathic abilities? Carry out the appropriate hypothesis test.

A psychologist wants to know whether viewing more violent TV shows affects aggressive behavior. 12 children were chosen at random for an experiment and randomly allocated to one of two conditions. In condition 1, six kids were given an aggressive behavior test. The more aggressive the conduct, the higher the score. In condition 2, six children were given the identical test after watching two hours of tv shows. The following results were obtained. Condition 1 5 14 6 8 7 6 Condition 2 12 14 14 8 15 9 Assume the obtained value of the appropriate statistic is t obt = -2.431, using α = 0.05, 2 tail, and t crit = +2.228 and -2.228, what do you conclude? a. retain null hypothesis, suggesting that violent TV show does not affect aggression. b. reject null hypothesis, suggesting that violent TV show affects aggression.
To compare two elementary schools regarding teaching of reading skills, 12 sets of identical twins were used. In each case, one child was selected at random and sent to school A, and his or her twin was sent to school B. Near the end of fifth grade, an achievement test was given to each child. The results follow: Twin Pair 1 2 3 4 5 6 School A 168 157 115 99 119 132 School B 123 142 110 110 120 122 Twin Pair 7 8 9 10 11 12 School A 120 121 132 145 138 88 School B 105 90 124 142 148 104 Suppose a sign test for matched pairs with a 8% level of significance is used to test the hypothesis that the schools have the same effectiveness in teaching reading skills against the alternate hypothesis that the schools have different levels of effectiveness in teaching reading skills. Let p denote portion of positive signs when the scores of school B are subtracted from the corresponding scores of school…
A research study was conducted to examine the clinical efficacy of a new drug used to improve memory. Students were randomly assigned to one of four groups: a placebo group, a group that received a low dose of the drug, and a group that received a moderate dose of the drug, and a group that did not receive any dose. Students were administered their respective doses and had to study for a Spanish vocabulary test. The group who did not receive any drug, was just told to study for the test. None of the 31 students spoke Spanish. Below is an ANOVA table used to analyse the results from the test: Source SS df MS F Between XX XX XX XX Within XX ? XX Total What is the missing value for the degrees of freedom for the "within" row (marked by a ?)? Answer:
Suppose that we've decided to test Clara, who works at the Psychic Center, to see if she really has psychic abilities. While talking to her on the phone, we'll thoroughly shuffle a standard deck of 52cards (which is made up of 13 hearts, 13 spades, 13 diamonds, and 13 clubs) and draw one card at random. We'll ask Clara to name the suit (heart, spade, diamond, or club) of the card we drew. After getting her guess, we'll return the card to the deck, thoroughly shuffle the deck, draw another card, and get her guess for the suit of this second card. We'll repeat this process until we've drawn a total of 14 cards and gotten her suit guesses for each.Assume that Clara is not clairvoyant, that is, assume that she randomly guesses on each card. Answer the following. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) Estimate the number of cards in the sample for which Clara correctly guesses the suit by giving the mean of the relevant distribution (that is, the expectation of…
250 adults are practicing every day before taking part in a high-stakes children's game. The game requires them carefully to remove a shape- either a star or an umbrella-from a sugar wafer. 30% of those who choose stars on a given day will switch to umbrellas the next day, and 20% of those who choose umbrellas on a given day will switch to stars the next day. (a) If 150 contestants practice with stars today, how many will practice with umbrellas tomorrow? (b) If the actual game is held a long time from now, what proportion of contestants do we expect will be practicing with stars each day close to then?

1. A paper on men's and women's eating behaviors describes an experiment in which 74 men were assigned at random to one of four treatments. viewed slides of fit, muscular men viewed slides of fit, muscular men accompanied by diet and fitness-related text viewed slides of fit, muscular men accompanied by text not related to diet and fitness did not view any slides The participants then went to a room to complete a questionnaire. In this room, bowls of pretzels were set out on the tables. A research assistant noted how many pretzels were consumed by each participant while completing the questionnaire. Data consistent with summary quantities given in the paper are given in the table.

3. The following experiment was carried out to evaluate a drug for the prevention of heart attacks. The subjects were 3,900 middle-aged men with heart trouble. Out of these men, 1,100 were assigned at random to receive the drug, and the remaining 2,800 were given a placebo. The subjects were followed for five years. In the group that received the drug, there were 220 deaths; in the placebo group, there were 588 deaths. Note that 220 is 20% of the treatment group, and 588 is 21% of the control group. Someone argues as follows: “A 1% difference may not seem like much, but 1% of a million, for example, is 10,000. The drug will save tens of thousands of lives.” Should we be convinced by the difference between the two groups, or do you think the results are just due to chance? Carry out all the steps of a hypothesis test and state your conclusion.

A recent study sought to determine if exercising after studying for an exam may help retain information. The 150 student volunteers that participated in the study were randomly assigned to three groups. All students were given a picture memory task that they studied for 15 minutes. After studying, one of the groups was instructed to exercise for 30 minutes immediately after studying. A second group was instructed to wait 1 hour after studying and then exercise for 30 minutes. The third group was instructed to not exercise after studying. The next day all 150 student volunteers were given a test to determine how well they could remember what they studied. Here are the results: The researchers want to test: H0: There is no difference in the distribution of performance on the test for the three treatment groups among the population of all student volunteers like these. Ha: There is a difference in the distribution of performance on the test for the three treatment groups among the…
