10. In 1974, Loftus and Palmer conducted a classic study demonstrating how the language used to ask a question can influence eyewitness memory. In the study, college students watched a film of an automobile accident and then were asked questions about what they saw. One group was asked, "About how fast were the cars going when they smashed into each other?" Another group was asked the same question except the verb was changed to "hit" instead of "smashed into." The "smashed into" group reported significantly higher estimates of speed than the "hit" group. Suppose a researcher repeats this study with a sample of today's college students and obtains the following results. Estimated Speed Smashed into Hit n = 15 n = 15 М 3 40.8 М - 34.0 SS = 510 SS = 414 a. Do the results indicate a significantly higher estimated speed for the "smashed into" group? Use a one-tailed test with a = .01.

An experiment investigated the effect of length and repetition of TV ads on students choosing to eat at Del Taco. All 60 students watched a 40-minute television program that included ads for Del Taco. Some students saw a 30-second commerical; others a 90-second commerical. The same commerical was shown either 1, 3, or 5 times during the program. After the viewing, each student was asked to rate their craving for Del Taco on a scale of 0 to 10. What are the subjects of this experiment?A. 60 studentsB. effect of length and repetion of TV adsC. 40-minute television programD. craving for Del Taco on a scale of 0 to 10E. 1, 3, or 5 commercials during the 40-minute television program

Each person in a representative sample of 449 college students age 18 to 24 was classified according to age and to the response to the following question: "How often have you used a credit card to buy items knowing you wouldn't have money to pay the bill when it arrived?" Possible responses were never, rarely, sometimes, or frequently. The responses are summarized in the table. Age 18 to 20 Age 21 to 22 Age 23 to 24 Never 73 62 29 Rarely 38 34 32 Sometimes 30 42 40 Frequently 13 24 A USE SALT Do these data provide evidence that there is an association between age group and the response to the question?

A high school track coach wanted to test whether giving the students an energy drink could affect performance during the 100 meter race. The coach split the 26 boys into two equal sized groups, where Group 1 was given the energy drink and Group 2 was not. The 100 meter race times were recorded during practice and shown in the table below. What inference can be made about the results? Group 1 Group 2 12.2 13 12.5 12.3 13.3 12.8 12.9 13 13 13.8 12.1 13 13 13 13 13 12.1 13 13 13 12.1 13 12.8 13 13 12.6 Mean: 12.7 Mean: 13 Since the simulation shows ( many cases or free cases )? where a mean difference of ( solve for this answer ) or less occurred when the groups were re-randomized, it can be inferred that the mean difference observed in the study was ( very possibly or very unlikely ) ?due to the random assignment of participants into groups, so the results of the study are (…
Please help with these three parts. ? Thank you!
A report described teens' attitudes about traditional media, such as TV, movies, and newspapers. In a representative sample of American teenage girls, 42% said newspapers were boring. In a representative sample of American teenage boys, 45% said newspapers were boring. Sample sizes were not given in the report. A button hyperlink to the SALT program that reads: Use SALT. (a) Suppose that the percentages reported had been based on a sample of 50 girls and 40 boys. Is there convincing evidence that the proportion of those who think that newspapers are boring is different for teenage girls and boys? Carry out a hypothesis test using ? = 0.05. (Use pgirls − pboys.) Find the test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) z = Find the P-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) P-value = State your conclusion. Reject H0. We do not have convincing evidence that the proportion of girls who say that newspapers are boring is different from the proportion of boys who…

A survey was done where one question asked of the participants was, “How many meals per week do you typically eat at a restaurant”. The numerical answers ranged from a low of 0 to a high of 12. How could you ask a question that would treat this as a categorical variable? Give the question and give the choices for the answer.
question(13): The researcher decided to conduct the study again and recruited an additional 10 children from the full time kindergarden and an additional from the part time kindergarden, This time they matched the children in full time kindergarden and partime kindergarden on SES, gender, age, and vocabulary score .They based their hypotheses on the finding from a previous study and wanted to see if full time kinder garden would have better short term memory recall compared to children who attended partime kindergarden. Researchers read a list of 20 words ,then waited 2 minrderdenutes while the kids were having a snack, then they were asked to tell them how many words they remember. .Those who remember a word got a score of 1. A summary of the results is given below fulltime kindergarden: 15 9 10 8 11 7 14 12 11 13 partime kindergarden : 10 7 9 8 12 6 8 10 7 9 test the hypotheses…
