It has been shown many times that on a certain memory test, recognition is substantially better than recall. However, the probability value for the data from your sample was 12,so you were unable to reject the thanks hypothesis that recall and recognition produce the same results .What type of error did you make?

- A fitness course claims that it can improve an individual's physical ability. To test the effect of a physical fitness course on one's physical ability, the number of sit-ups that a person could do in one minute, both before and after the course, was recorded. Ten individuals are randomly selected to participate in the course. The results are displayed in the following table. Can it be concluded, from the data, that participation in the physical fitness course resulted in significant improvement? Let d=(number of sit-ups that can be done after taking the course)−(number of sit-ups that can be done prior to taking the course)d=(number of sit-ups that can be done after taking the course)−(number of sit-ups that can be done prior to taking the course). Use a significance level of α=0.05α=0.05 for the test. Assume that the numbers of sit-ups are normally distributed for the population both before and after taking the fitness course.

Always a skeptic, you decide to test this claim. A random sample of 12 seminar participants is chosen, and these participants are asked to record the number of times that they lost their tempers in the two weeks prior to the course. After the course is over, the same participants are asked to record the number of times that they lost their tempers in the next two weeks. The following table lists the results of the survey. Using these data, test the claim at the 0.01 level of significance assuming that the population distribution of the paired differences is approximately normal. Let participants before completing the anger-management course be Population 1 and let participants after completing the anger-management course be Population 2.

A researcher is interested in studying the effect of caffeine, and he comes up with the following plan for an experiment. The experiment will involve 100 volunteers each of which will take a memory test 20 minutes after drinking cola. Some volunteers will be randomly assigned to drink caffeine-free cola; some to drink regular cola (with caffeine), and the others a mixture of the two (getting a half dose of caffeine). For each volunteer, a test score (the number of items recalled correctly) will be recorded. The volunteers will not be told which type of cola they have been given, but the researcher who evaluates the results will prepare the cups of cola right on the spot (out of sight of the volunteers).(a) What type of design is this experiment? (b) The treatments are (c) The score of the memory test is the ? (d) The study finds that the group of students who drink…

- A political scientist claims that 38% of first-year college students characterize themselves as being “moderate” or “middle of the road” as far as their political affiliation is concerned. Believing this claimed value is too high, you survey a random sample of 400 first-year college students and find that 120 characterize themselves as being “moderate” or “middle of the road.” Based on this information, what will the test statistic be? Choose the answer below that is closest to what you calculate, and try not to do a lot of rounding until you get to the very end of your calculations. 1. -0.3 2. -1.2 3. -2.6 4. -3.3 5. None of the other answer options are correct because the test statistic should be positive, not negative.A fitness course claims that it can improve an individual's physical ability.

- A study was performed to test eyewitness accuracy. Ten pairs of participants entered a room believing they would be participating in a gambling experiment. Each participant was given $10 in coins to play poker with. The participants were randomly seated near the door or away from the door. After 15 minutes, an actor dressed in street clothes burst into the room and stole the money from the participant near the door. The “thief” was later caught, and both participants (the victim and the witness) were asked to identify him in a line-up. Eyewitness accuracies from the participants were then compared. The ten victims reported a mean accuracy of 31.5 (SD = 21). The witnesses had a mean accuracy of 52.2 (SD = 19.5). Was there a difference? What was the effect size of eyewitness accuracy? Show the nul and alternative hypthoesis, aplhpa level 0.05 and test the null hypothtesis and draw the rejctin line, conclusion and effect sizeCheaters, scope of inference: Exercise 1.5 introduces a study where researchers studying the relationship between honesty, age, and self-control conducted an experiment on 160 children between the ages of 5 and 15. The researchers asked each child to toss a fair coin in private and to record the outcome (white or black) on a paper sheet, and said they would only reward children who report white. Half the students were explicitly told not to cheat and the others were not given any explicit instructions. Differences were observed in the cheating rates in the instruction and no instruction groups, as well as some differences across children's characteristics within each group. a) Identify the population of interest in the study. b) Identify the sample for this study. c) Can the results of the study can be generalized to the population? Should the findings of the study can be used to establish causal relationships.Scenario: A researcher wants to know whether a hard copy of a textbook provides additional benefits over an e-book. She conducts a study where participants are randomly assigned to read a passage either on a piece of paper or on a computer screen. After a distractor task lasting 30 minutes, the participants are tested for their comprehension of the passage with a multiple-choice test containing 10 questions about their passage. Comprehension was scored using percent correct (0 — 100%). The researcher predicts that those randomly assigned to read the passage on a piece of paper will remember significantly more than those who read the passage online. Question: What is the research / alternate hypothesis for this scenario? People who read a passage on a piece of paper will remember more than those who read a passage online. People who read a passage on a piece of paper will not remember more than those who read a passage online. Amount remembered of a passage will vary based…
