A local school reports that its average GPA is 2.66 +/- 0.40 (mu +/- sigma). The school announces that it will be introducing a new program designed to improve GPA scores at the school. What is the effect size (d) for this program if it is expected to improve GPA by: .05 points? .10 points? .40 points?

An analyst takes a sample of 10 households and records their weekly consumption expenditure (in RM) and weekly household income (in RM). The Pearson coefficient of correlation between weekly consumption expenditure and weekly household income is found to be 0.9563. Therefore, an increase in the weekly household income causes a very high increase in the weekly consumption expenditure. Select one: O True O False
The chief financial officer of a school district wants to determine if there is a statistically significant correlation between expenditures and test scores. They find the top 10 Sonoma County school districts, ranked by test score, have the expenditures shown in the table A.) What is the correlation between the test score (x) and the expenditure (y)? Round answer to 4 decimal places. B.) Is this correlation significant at the 5% level? Clearly show how you arrived at your answer by showing your which 2 numbers you compared.

X10.2.21-T Twenty years ago, 56% of parents of children in high school felt it was a serious problem that high school students were not being taught enough math and science. A recent survey found that 247 of 700 parents of children in high school felt it was a serious problem that high school students were not being taught enough math and science. Do parents feel differently today than they did twenty years ago? Use the a=0.01 level of significance. Because npo (1- Po) = 172.5 > 10, the sample size is less than 5% of the population size, and the sample can be reasonably assumed to be random, the requirements for testing the hypothesis are satisfied. (Round to one decimal place as needed.) What are the null and alternative hypotheses? versus H,: Ho: (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.)

If you have 10 variables when computing correlation coefficients how many unique coefficients will you have overall?
A researcher wants to see if there is a difference in APGAR scores of newborns depending on whether the mother smoked during pregnancy or not. She collects data and analyzes the results using SPSS. What is the correct way to report the results in APA style? Question 23 options: t(58) = 3.288, p>.05 t(58) = 3.288, p= .002 t(26.5) = 3.278, p<.05 t(26.5) =3.278, p=.003

Justin wants to know whether a commonly prescribed drug does improve the attention span of students with attention deficit disorder (ADD). He knows that the mean attention span for students with ADD who are not taking the drug is 2.3 minutes long. His sample of 12 students taking the drug yielded a mean of 4.6 minutes. Justin can find no information regarding σx , so he calculated s2x =1.96. a. Identify the independent and dependent variables. b. In a sentence, state the null hypothesis being tested. c. Using symbols, state the null and alternative hypotheses. d. Determine the critical region using a one-tailed test with alpha = .05. e .Conduct the hypothesis test (Do the math and compare the t-critical and t-obtained values). f. State your conclusions in terms of H0 (Should you reject the H0 or fail to reject/accept the H0). g. Based on your analysis, is there a relationship between the drug and attention span?
i.20% of the response times are longer than how many minutes? iI.Find the IQR of the response times. Suppose that another “major city” claimed that its police force response times followed a normal model with a mean of 8 minutes. What is the SD of this model if 95% of the response times were at most 12 minutes? Show all steps in your solution.
A researcher computes the correlation coefficient r= 0.4212 for an explanatory and response variable. What proportion of the changes in the response variables value is accounted for by the change in the explanatory variable's value? Give your answer to four decimal places.
Suppose you run research about the relationship between the frequency of smoking and hours of sleep. You used Pearson r and got a coefficient of -0.63. What is your interpretation?
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
