8. A local 7-Eleven sells a "Memory Pill" that is supposed to help people...um...remember. You find some Oxnard College students and randomly divide them into two groups of 15 students each. One group takes the actual "Memory Pill" and the other group takes the placebo. You then show them a list of 20 items and want them to remember as many as possible. The experimental group (those taking the pill) remembered an average of 12.3 items from the list, with a sample standard deviation of 5.4. The control group (with the placebo) remembered an average of 10.9 items, with a sample standard deviation of 4.2. Is this enough evidence to show that the "Memory Pill" improves...well...memory?

2. A researcher is interested in the relationship between arousal and memory recall. Arousal will be manipulated by giving participants an injection of adrenaline at doses of 0 (control), 1, 5 or 10 mg/kg. Ten participants are randomly assigned to each dose group. Immediately after injection subjects are shown a list of 50 words to remember. The next day the participants return to the lab where they are given a free recall test. The number of words correctly recalled were recorded. Based on the results shown below, what can you conclude about the effects of arousal on memory? Set a = .05. 0 M = 21.8 a. State hypotheses: Dose of adrenaline (mg/kg) 1 5 M = 19.2 M = 31.2 b. Set criterion for making a decision about Ho: 10 M = 18.6
For the three-part question that follows, provide your answer to each question in the given workspace. Identify each part with a coordinating response. Be sure to clearly label each part of your response as Part A, Part B, and Part C.Use the information below for Part A, Part B, and Part C. Every person at the park received a ticket. Of those tickets, only 45 were winning tickets. In a random sample of 25 people, 2 people had winning tickets.Part A: Write a ratio to represent the number of winning tickets to all tickets in the sample population.Part B: Make a reasonable claim or prediction about the population at the park.Part C: Justify your answer to Part B by showing your work.
This is a SAS question. You want to randomly assign 48 subjects into two groups (Placebo and Drug). Write a DATA step to do this in such a way as to ensure there are exactly 24 subjects in each group. Can you think of how to do this so that in each group of eight subjects, there are exactly four Placebo and four Drug assignments? (Hint: Create six blocks of eight subjects each.) I know how to do the first part, it is the second part that is hard for me to figure out. Thank you!
ANOVA. Dr. Milgramm is conducting a patient satisfaction survey, rating how well her patients like her on a scale of 1-10. Her patients tend to fall into three categories: “Like a lot”, “like somewhat”, and “dislike a lot”. She believes that she might get different satisfaction scores from people in each group, but (because she's not great at numbers) she wants you to do an ANOVA to be sure. She has collected data from 12 patients (three equal groups) with the following results. Group 1) “Like a lot” Mean: 8 SS: 2 N: df: Group 2) “Like somewhat” Mean: 5 SS: 6 N: df: Group 3) “Dislike a lot” Mean: 2 SS: 4 N: df: Grand Mean: df Within-Group:__________ df Between-Groups:___________ Estimated Variance (S21) for Group 1: _______ Estimated Variance (S22) for Group 2: ___________ Estimated…
Suppose we want to compare the GPA for students in at least three different social classes (Upper, Middle, Working). We obtain GPA records for a randomly selected set of 30 students, ten from each social class group. What test should you use and why?
An anger-management course claims that, after completing its seminar, participants will lose their tempers less often. 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.

Wegman’s (a food market chain) has developed a new store-brand brownie mix. Before they start selling the mix they want to compare how well people like their brownies to brownies made from a popular national brand mix. In order to see if there was any difference in consumer opinion, Wegman’s asked 124 shoppers to participate in a taste test. Each was given a brownie to try. Subjects were not told which kind of brownie they got—that was determined randomly. 58% of the 62 shoppers who tasted a Wegman’s brownie said liked it well enough to buy the mix, compared to 66% of the others who said they would be willing to buy the national brand. Does this result indicate that consumer interest in the Wegman’s mix is lower than for the national brand?
A local health department believes that a store is merchandising its cereal aisle in a way that puts sugary cereal brands at eye level for children. The store claims that it is not considering sugar content and is stocking the shelves based on other factors. An inspector visited the store and recorded the sugar content per serving listed on the boxes (sugar content for each box is listed under the shelf where that box of cereal is located). Shelf 1 Shelf 2 Shelf 3 Shelf 4 7 13 6 10 8. 5 14 7 8 11 11 10 11 3 a) What are the treatment groups, and how many experimental units are there per treatment? b) If instead of using the content listed on the box, the inspector sampled from multiple boxes of each brand of cereal and tested them for sugar content. How many experimental units were there be if there were 10 boxes per brand on the shelf? Explain your answer. [hint: all the boxes for each brand will be in one place] c) State the null hypothesis and create an ANOVA table based on sugar…
