3. A social worker is interested in examining how people who have higher levels of psychological resiliency respond after a natural disaster. She obtained anxiety scores, which were measured on a scale of 1-12 with higher numbers meaning more anxiety, from eight individuals who had experienced a natural disaster. She collected these scores 3 weeks after the disaster (M=8.63) and 6 months after the disaster (M=4.38). She expected that the anxiety scores at 6 months would be much lower than at 3 weeks. If sD = 1.16 and you use a two-tailed test with an alpha of .05, is there a difference? Perform the 4 steps of hypothesis testing. %3D Anxiety at 3 Anxiety at 6 weeks months 12 7 10 4 11 7 4 7 8. 6215

3. A psychologist is studying the effects of lack of sleep on the performance of various perceptual-motor tasks. After a given period of sleep deprivation, a measurement of reaction time to an auditory stimulus was taken for each of 36 adult male subjects. The reaction times (in seconds) are summarized as follows: x = 1.82, s = 0.22 Previous psychological studies show that the true mean reaction time for non-sleep- deprived male subjects is 1.70 seconds. b) Find a 95% confidence interval for the mean reaction time for sleep-deprived male subjects.

A cognitive psychologist conducted a study of whether familiarity of words (X) predicts the time it takes (in seconds) to press a button indicating whether the word is singular or plural (Y), with all participants being given the same words. Familiarity with these words was rated at a later time on a 7-point scale (with higher numbers indicating more familiarity). The participants' scores were: X : 6, 2, 5 ,3 ,7 Y : 0.3 , 1.5 , 0.8 , 1.4 ,0.1 a.Figure the correlation coefficient Describe the correlation Figure the linear prediction rule; list the b value, a value and the final formula Predict the time it takes to press a button if the familiarity with the word is 1
A researcher gathered a sample of participants who volunteered for a studying of phobias. She measured anxiety level of participants as they viewed photos of spiders and again when they viewed puppies. Which statistical test is appropriate for this study and why?
The well-known psychologist Dr. Elbod has established what he calls his Generalized Anxiety Scale (GAS). The GAS, which is a scale from 0 to 10, measures the "general anxiety" of an individual, with higher GAS scores corresponding to more anxiety. (Dr. Elbod's assessment of anxiety is based on a variety of measurements, both physiological and psychological.) We're interested in making predictions about individuals' sleep behavior based on their GAS scores. The bivariate data below give the GAS score (denoted by x) and the number of hours of sleep last night (denoted by y) for each of the fifteen adults participating in a study. A scatter plot of the data is shown in Figure 1. Also given is the product of the GAS score and the sleep time for each of the fifteen adults. (These products, written in the column labelled "xy", may aid in calculations.)

On average, a sample of n = 36 scores will provide a better estimate of the population mean than a sample of n = 49 scores from the same population.

Does the sample evidence indicate that the mean reaction time for sleep- deprived male subjects is longer than that of non-sleep-deprived male subjects ? a = 0.05 (iv) The conclusion for the above problem is Do not reject the null hypothesis and mean reaction time for sleep-deprived male subjects is not longer than that of non-sleep-deprived male subjects Reject the null hypothesis and mean reaction time for sleep-deprived male subjects is longer than that of non-sleep-deprived male subjects Do not reject the null hypothesis and…
The wrong alternative. One of your friends is testing the effect of drinking coffee on the duration of cold symptoms. The common cold lasts, on average, 6 days. Your friend starts with no expectations as to whether drinking coffee will have any effect on cold duration. After seeing the results of the experiment, in which the average cold duration was less than 6 days, your friend tests a one-sided alternative about the population mean cold duration when drinking coffee, H0: lcoffee = 6 На: Which gives a one-sided P value P = 0.0465. Explain why your friend should have used a two-sided hypothesis. Hcoffee < 6

Many people take ginkgo supplements advertised to improve memory. Are these over-thecounter supplements effective? In a study, elderly adults were assigned to the treatment group or control group. The 104 participants who were assigned to the treatment group took 40 mg of ginkgo 3 times a day for 6 weeks. The 115 participants assigned to the control group took a placebo pill 3 times a day for 6 weeks. At the end of 6 weeks, the Wechsler Memory Scale was administered. Higher scores indicate better memory function. Summary values are given in thefollowing table: N x sGinkgo 104 5.7 0.6Placebo 115 5.5 0.5a) Based on these results, is there evidence that taking 40mg of ginkgo 3 times a day is effective in increasing mean performance on the Wechsler Memory Scale? b) Write a brief report on your findings
