Three experiments investigating the relation between need for cognitive closure and persuasion were performed. Part of the study involved administering a "need for closure scale" to a group of students enrolled in an introductory psychology course. The "need for closure scale" has scores ranging from 101 to 201. For the 66 students in the highest quartile of the distribution, the mean score was x = 177.10. Assume a population standard deviation of o = 8.27. These students were all classified as high on their need for closure. Assume that the 66 students represent a random sample of all students who are classified as high on their need for closure. How large a sample is needed if we wish to be 99% confident that the sample mean score is within 1.8 points of the population mean score for students who are high on the need for closure?

In a study investigating the effect of car speed on accident severity, 5,000 reports of fatal automobile accidents were examined, and the vehicle speed at impact was recorded for each one. For these 5,000 accidents, the average speed was 44 mph and the standard deviation was 17 mph. A histogram revealed that the vehicle speed at impact distribution was approximately normal. (Use the Empirical Rule.)

Three experiments investigating the relation between need for cognitive closure and persuasion were performed. Part of the study involved administering a "need for closure scale" to a group of students enrolled in an introductory psychology course. The "need for closure scale" has scores ranging from 101 to 201. For the 75 students in the highest quartile of the distribution, the mean score was x = 176.90. Assume a population standard deviation of ? = 7.71. These students were all classified as high on their need for closure. Assume that the 75 students represent a random sample of all students who are classified as high on their need for closure. Find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean score ? on the "need for closure scale" for all students with a high need for closure. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)
It is assumed that standardized test scores should be correlated with students' classroom performance. One would expect that students who consistently perform well in the classroom (on tests, quizzes, etc.) would also perform well on a standardized test scored from 0-100 (with 100 indicating high achievement). A teacher decides to examine this hypothesis. At the end of the academic year, she collects the following data for her (admittedly small) class: Standardized test score Overall GPA 56 1.8 1 73 2.6 2 78 2.9 3 83 2.9 4 85 3.0 5 rows x 2 columns What is your best guess for the expected GPA of a student who scored a 88 on the standardized test? number (rtol=0.01, atol=0.0001) Determine a 95% confidence interval for the expected GPA of a student who scored a 76 on the standardized test.
