4. Application: a. An experiment was conducted to compare the mean reaction times of two types of traffic signs: prohibitive (No Left Turn) and permissive (Left Turn Only). Ten drivers were included in the experiment. Each driver was presented with 40 traffic signs, 20 prohibitive and 20 permissive, in random order. The mean time to reactic and the number of correct actions were recorded for each driver. The mean reaction times (in milliseconds) to the 20 prohibitive and 20 permissive traffic signs are shown here for each of the 10 drivers: Driver Prohibitive Permissive 1 824 702 2 866 725 841 744

A manager wishes to build a control chart for a process. A total of five (05) samples are collected with six (06) observations within each sample. The sample means (X-bar) are; 15.36,14.61,16.36,20.28, and 15.77 respectively. Also, the corresponding ranges are; 10.79, 8.37, 4.81, 8.17, and 3.31 respectively. The lower and upper control limits of the R-chart are respectively O a. None is correct O b. 1, 10.5 O c. 0,14.18 O d. 0, 15.25 O e. 0, 14.11
A clinical psychologist is investigating the relationship between sleep and feelings ofanxiety. For a sample of 15 individuals, he asks each participant to indicate how many hours theytypically sleep each night and each participant also completes an anxiety assessment. The followingdata is obtained:Hours of sleep: M=6.0 SS=16.0Anxiety scores: M=8.0 SS=64.0SP = - 20.0 a. Compute the correlation between hours of sleep and anxiety scores.
An adventure company runs two obstacle courses, Fundash and Coolsprint. The designer of the courses suspects that the mean completion time of Fundash is not equal to the mean completion time of Coolsprint. To test this, she selects 250 Fundash runners and 285 Coolsprint runners. (Consider these as random samples of the Fundash and Coolspring runners.) The 250 Fundash runners complete the course with a mean time of 76.7 minutes and a standard deviation of 5.7 minutes. The 285 Coolsprint runners complete the course with a mean time of 77.5 minutes and a standard deviation of 5.6 minutes. Assume that the population standard deviations of the completion times can be estimated to be the sample standard deviations, since the samples that are used to compute them are quite large. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there enough evidence to support the claim that the mean completion time, u, of Fundash is not equal to the mean completion time, µa, of Coolsprint? Perform a two-tailed test.…
A researcher is interested in exploring the relationship between calcium intake and weight loss. Two different groups, each with 2626 dieters, are chosen for the study. Group A is required to follow a specific diet and exercise regimen, and also take a 500-mg supplement of calcium each day. Group B is required to follow the same diet and exercise regimen, but with no supplemental calcium. After six months on the program, the members of Group A had lost a mean of 10.4 pounds with a standard deviation of 2.6 pounds. The members of Group B had lost a mean of 11.7pounds with a standard deviation of 2.8 pounds during the same time period. Assume that the population variances are not the same. Construct a 99% confidence interval to estimate the true difference between the mean amounts of weight lost by dieters who supplement with calcium and those who do not. Let Population 1 be the amount of weight lost by Group A, who took a 500-mg supplement of calcium each day, and let Population 2 be…
A graduate student is interested in how viewing different types of scenes affects working memory. For his study, he selects a random sample of 36 adults. The subjects complete a series of working memory tests before and after walking in an urban setting. Before the walk, the mean score on the test of working memory was 9.1. After the walk, the mean score was 1.4 higher. The graduate student has no presupposed assumptions about how viewing different types of scenes affects working memory, so he formulates the null and alternative hypotheses as: H00 : μDD = 0 H11 : μDD ≠ 0 Assume that the data satisfy all of the required assumptions for a repeated-measures t test. The graduate student calculates the following statistics for his hypothesis test: Mean difference (MDD) 1.4 Estimated population standard deviation of the differences (s) 1.6 Estimated standard error of the mean differences (sMDMD) 0.2667 Degrees of freedom (df) 35 The t statistic 5.25 The critical values of t…
A high school teacher would like to examine his students’ exam scores based on seating arrangements. He assigned n = 15 students to sit in the last three rows of his class and n = 15 students to sit in the first three rows. Each student received a 45-minute lecture for one week and were given the same exam the following school day. The front row students had a mean of M = 78 with SS = 10.50 on their exam. And the back row students had a mean of M = 72 with SS = 8.90. Is there a significant difference in exam scores? Test with = .05.
The mean output of solar cells of three types is measured six times under random light intensity over a period of 5 minutes, yielding the results shown. Research question: Is the mean solar cell output the same for all cell types?
Warren wants to know if the amount of coffee that you drink is related to the number of hours that you stay awake. He recruits 50 participants using random sampling to report how much coffee they drank and the time of the day that they went to sleep. He then performs a correlation to determine the association between the amount of coffee that was consumed and the number of hours that they stayed awake. There was a statistically significant positive correlation between amount of coffee that participants drank and the number of hours that they stayed awake, r(49) = .82, p < .05, two-tailed, r2 = .08. This was a small effect – 8% of the variance in the amount of coffee drank is explained by hours that you stay awake (and vice versa).

Which of these experimental designs has the most statistical power (is more likely to show a true difference between 2 treatment conditions)? A. Between-Subjects B. Descriptive Study C. Correlational Study D. Within-Subjects
The respiratory disturbance index (RDI), which is the number of apneic and hypopneic episodes per hour of sleep, was used as a measure of severity of sleep apnea. An RDI of 5 or more indicates sleep-related breathing disturbances. The RDIs for the females and males samples in a study in US are as follows. Female 0.1 0.5 0.3 2.3 2.0 1.4 0.0 Male 2.6 19.3 1.4 1.0 0.0 39.2 4.1 0.0 2.1 1.1 5.6 5.0 7.0 2.3 4.3 7.5 16.5 7.8 3.3 8.9 7.3 At the 1% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the female patients are less suffer than male from the apnea disease?
