A pharmaceutical company wants to test the effectiveness of new medication for arthritis pain. Eight randomly selected patients with arthritis are asked to rate their pain on a scale of 1-10 (1 is no pain and 10 is maximum pain) before taking the medication. These same eight patients are then given the medication and one hour later are asked to rate their pain on a scale of 1-10 again. The data are below. Test the hypothesis that the new medication leads to a significant decrease in the mean pain rating. (Hint: you'll see a lot of negative values to show that pain has decreased.) Use .05 as the level of significance.

Mr. Palmer, has been teaching beginners how to fix their stroke for the last 10 years. The mean golfing score for all past students who learned with Mr. Palmer is 79. This golfing cycle, he tried a new teaching method using simulations instead of real-world golf. He then had 15 of his students that used his new method take a golfing test. Enter the data into SPSS. Use this dataset to answer this question: did Mr. Palmer’s students perform better on the golfing test using the new method as compared to the traditional teaching technique? 1. From the output, report the test statistic and the probability (obtained p-value, called “sig” in the output). Remember to include degrees of freedom when you report t-values. 2. Will you reject or fail to reject the null based on the SPSS output (Remember to use numbers from the output only to make your statistical conclusion. If you use a critical t, you will get no points.).
If a person’s z score equals 1.61, what percentage of the observations are more extreme?
A social psychologist recently developed a childhood-memories test that is intended to measure how people recall pleasant and unpleasant experiences from childhood. Scores on the test range from 1 (very unpleasant) to 100 (very pleasant). The psychologist standardized the test with a large group of college students (ages 18-25), and the mean score was p=60. The test was then given to a sample of n=25 individuals who were all between the ages of 40 and 45. The average score for this sample was 64.3 with SS (sum of squares)=600. Note: S?=SS÷df (variance is equal to sum of squares divided by the degrees of freedom). What is your standard deviation? Answer:

A psychologist hypothesizes that the children with type-A personality score higher than the children with type-B personality on a memory test. The estimated standard error turned out to be 1.2, while the mean score of type-B children was 22.2 and the mean score for type-A children was 25.6. What is the t score?
A researcher hypothesizes that different colors of cars result in different average speeds. To test this claim, she took a random sample of 20 people who own 4 different colors of colors of cars (n = 20, N = 80, G = 4), and she then tracks their average speed on the highway for a week of driving. The following ANOVA table has some of her results. Please help her answer her research questions by completing the following ANOVA table below and answering the follow-up questions.

A psychologist hypothesizes that the children with type K personality score higher than the children with type R personality on a memory test. The estimated standard error turned out to be 0.9, while the mean score of type K children was 18.8 and the mean score for type R children was 21.3. What is the t-score? a. t = (18.8 - 21.3)/0.9 = 2.78 b. t = (18.8 - 21.3)(0.3) = 8.33 c. t = (18.8 - 21.3)/0.92 = 3.09 d. t = (18.8 - 21.3)(2)(0.9) = 1.39
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.
If you found a strong positive correlation between the number of hours learners spent reading their textbooks and their quiz scores, you could conclude that reading the textbook caused better performances
Describe a study in which you can use both nonparametric and parametric statistics. A researcher has participants expecting to receive either painful or mild electrical shocks during a study wait in a quarter-full waiting room with other participants. He then measures whether they choose to sit next to other participants or if they sit far away on their own. What is the best test to run for this study and why?
A psychology student conducted a study on using a chief executive officer's facial structure to predict a firm's financial performance. The facial width-to-height ratio (WHR) for each in a sample of 55 CEOs at publicly traded firms was determined. The sample resulted in x=1.74 and s=2.02. The student wants to predict the financial performance of a firm based on the value of the true mean facial WHR of CEOs. The student wants to use the value of μ=2.3. Do you recommend he use this value? Conduct a test of hypothesis for μ to help you answer the question. Specify all the elements of the test, including H0, Ha, test statistic, p-value, and your conclusion. Test at α=0.10. Find the p-value. p-value=enter your response here (
