3. A psychologist wishes to test a behavioral modification therapy that is claimed to improve the behavior of pre-teen autistic children. She randomly selects 40 pre-teen autistic children and exposes half of the group to the behavioral modification therapy while the other half continue with their standard treatment regimen. A standardized behavioral test is administered to each child both before and after his/her respective treatment. The population in this experiment is a) all pre-teen autistic children b) the 20 children who continue with their standard treatment regimen c) the 20 children who receive the behavioral modification therapy. d) the 40 selected pre-teen autistic children.

Exercise is known to produce positive psychological effects. Interestingly, not all exercise is equally effective. It turns out that exercising in a natural environment (e.g., jogging in the woods) produces better psychological outcomes than exercising in urban environments or in homes (Mackay & Neill, 2010). Suppose that a sports psychologist is interested in testing whether there is a difference between exercise in nature and exercise in the lab with respect to post-exercise anxiety levels. The researcher recruits n 5 7 participants who exercise in the lab and exercise on a nature trail. The data below represent the anxiety scores that were measured after each exercise session. Treat the data as if the scores are from an independent-measures study using two separate samples, each with n 5 7 participants. Compute the pooled variance, the estimated standard error for the mean difference, and the independent-measures t statistic. Using a 5 .05, is there a significant difference…
2. Juvenile free-living ground squirrels utilize responses known as "alarm calls" in response to predators. These calls can alert others to danger. Newly weaned squirrels emerge from the nest at about 25 days of age. Do the squirrels emerge with automatic responses to alarm signals, or are the responses learned? To answer this question, a biologist played recordings of alarm calls for three random samples from populations (by age) of squirrels and observed the squirrels' responses. She reasoned that if the responses were not different for the different age groups, the squirrels must be responding by instinct. On the other hand, if the responses differ with the age of the squirrels the young squirrels must be learning to respond to the alarm calls. Her data for the responses, categorized by age, is presented below: Response to alarm call Enter or Stand up or run to burrow freeze Totals Days since weaning 1-5 21 18 39 6-10 16 24 40 10-15 12 19 Totals 49 49 98 Is there convincing evidence…
Researchers wish to study the effect of daily brain teasers on a person's intelligence. The researchers randomly choose 20 students from their local college campus. Day one of the test, every student is given an IQ test. The students are then randomly divided into Group A and Group B (10 students each). Group A is given daily brain teasers, while Group B were not instructed to participate in anything outside their normal routine. At the end of a 30 day period, each member of the group takes an IQ test. The students are aware of what group they are in, but the researchers have no idea until the results are given. The test given to Group A would be considered the Control Treatment Variable Placebo
2. A researcher wants to determine which of three advertisements is most likely to encourage teens not to smoke. To assess the impact of each advertisement, she asks a sample of teenagers to view each ad and to rate the ad's effectiveness on a scale of 1 (not at all effective) to 7 (very effective). One ad used words only (no-cues condition), a second ad used a generic abstract picture (generic-cues condition), and a third showed a picture of a teen smoking and coughing (smoking-related cues condition). Fully test the question (5 steps) and determine the effect size.

5. Use the data set 1. This is the result of a randomized trial in Uganda where 10 students in the same village were selected and given a solar-powered reading lamp. The second group was not given any lamp. The number of students out of 10 who improved their school grades for both groups were recorded. The experiment was repeated in 50 villages. Test the hypothesis that solar-powered reading lamps are effective in improving school grades in Uganda.
A group of 600 patients who suffer from seasonal allergies is asked to participate in a study to determine the effectiveness of a new medication. The patients are divided randomly into two groups, one was given the actual medication and one received a placebo pill. After 2 months of treatment, 64% of the patients who took the medication had fewer allergy symptoms, while only 36% of those who took the placebo had fewer allergy symptoms. a. What is the treatment variable? b. What is the response (or outcome) variable? c. Was this an observational study or a controlled experiment? Explain how you know. d. Assuming the rest of the study was well-designed, use your answers to discuss whether it would be reasonable to conclude that taking the new medication caused fewer allergy symptoms.
2. In a study of jury behavior, two samples of participants were provided details about a trial in which the defendant was obviously guilty. Although group 2 received the san details as group 1, the second group was also told that some evidence had been withheld from the jury by the judge. Later, the participants were asked to recommend a jail sentence. The length of term suggested by each participant is presented here. Is there a significant difference between the two groups in their responses? For Group 1: M = 3, SS = 16, n= 8 For Group 2: M = 6, SS = 24, n = 10 %3D a. Formulate the hypotheses. b. Determine the critical value(s). c. Calculate the test statistic.
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 Q1, The alternative (H1) hypothesis and null (H0) hypothesis are (2-tail) _________. a. H1: violent TV show does not affects aggressive behavior H0: violent TV show affects aggressive behavior b. H1: violent TV show affects aggressive behavior H0: violent TV show does not affect aggressive behavior
1. A developmental psychologist would also like to determine how much fine motor skill improves for children from age 3 to age 4 but is worried about practice effects. She takes a random sample of 9 three-year old children and a second sample of 9 four-year olds and measures fine motor skill in each using the same test described above. Her data are provided below. Three Year Olds: 40, 35, 38, 39, 40, 50, 40, 38, 42 Four Year Olds: 35, 36, 39, 29, 35, 34, 33, 34, 35 a. Is there a significant difference in the motor skills from age three to four? Test with an α = 0.01. b. What type of error is possible based on the outcome? c. Calculate and interpret the effect size. d. What is the mean motor skill score for the age three children? What is the mean motor skill score for the age four children?
