The number of Muslims continues to grow throughout the world, and they are currently thesecond-largest religious group in the world. Knowing that this group has been the target of falsebeliefs about their religion, a researcher is interested in whether people who have moreinteractions with Muslim people are less likely to believe negative statements about Islam. To dothis, they surveyed a large sample of participants across Western Europe and asked themquestions about how frequently they interact with Muslim people as well as how much theyagreed with negative statements about Islam. What statistical test should be used to determine ifthere if how frequently survey participants interact with Muslim people predicts how likely theyare to agree with a negative statement about Islam? Assume parametric assumptions are met. A. Is this a relationship test or a difference test? Explain your rationale. B.
A report describes a survey of 251 adult Americans. Participants in the survey were asked how often they disinfect their phone and were asked to respond with one of the following categories: more than once a week, once a week, every other, week, every three weeks, or less often than every three weeks. For this group, 9% responded more than once a week, 52% responded once a week, 26% responded every other week, 6% responded every three weeks, and 7% responded less often than every three weeks. Fill in the table below with the relative frequency distributions. How Often? Relative Frequency More than once a week Once a week Every other week Every three weeks Less often than every three weeks
A team of researchers is interested in the effect on physical health of writing about thoughts and feelings associated with traumatic life events (expressive writing). The researchers recruit 30 undergraduate students to take part in the study and randomly assign them to be in an expressive writing group or a control group. Students in the expressive writing group are instructed to write four 20 - minute essays over four consecutive days about their most traumatic life experiences. Students in the control group write four 20 – minute essays over consecutive days describing their plans for that day. One week later, the researchers ask the students to rate their overall level of physical health (on a scale 0 = very poor health, to 100 = perfect health). EWG: 75, 86, 77, 91, 68, 74, 62, 93, 82, 79, 94, 56, 79, 86, 90, 97 CWG: 81, 76, 71, 70, 62, 50, 58, 63, 76, 64, 65, 72, 52, 59 The researchers were interested in identifying a positive or a negative health effect of expressive writing.…
A paper describes a study of the use of MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) exams in the diagnosis of breast cancer. The purpose of the study was to determine if MRI exams do a better job than mammograms of determining if women who have recently been diagnosed with cancer in one breast have cancer in the other breast. The study participants were 950 women who had been diagnosed with cancer in one breast and for whom a mammogram did not detect cancer in the other breast. These women had an MRI exam of the other breast, and 101 of those exams indicated possible cancer. After undergoing biopsies, it was determined that 30 of the 101 did in fact have cancer in the other breast, whereas 71 did not. The women were all followed for one year, and four of the women for whom the MRI exam did not indicate cancer in the other breast were subsequently diagnosed with cancer that the MRI did not detect. The accompanying table summarizes this information. Cancer Cancer Not Present Present Total MRI…
A certain affects virus 0.8% of the population. A test used to detect the virus in a person is positive 88% of the time if the person has the virus (true positive) and 13% of the time if the person does not have the virus (false postive). Fill out the remainder of the following table and use it to answer the two questions below. (enter answer with no commas, i.e. as 1000 not 1,000.)

A certain medical school accepts only 8% of applicants. A prep program claims that their students are admitted to this medical school at a higher rate. To test their claim at the 10% significance level, we select at random 144 students from the prep program (who all apply to this medical school), and we compute p, the proportion of the sample who are admitted to the medical school.
A school psychologist is interested in determining if children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) learn better if English literature is read to them rather than having them read the material alone by themselves. A random sample of 10 sixth graders with ADHD is selected and divided into two groups of n=9. One of the groups has a story read to them (Listening Group) and the other reads the story alone by themselves (Reading Group). A test on the story is given after each group has finished reading or hearing the story. The following scores were obtained with 20 being a perfect score. what is the cohen’s d ?
The term 'Boomerang Generation' refers to the recent generation of young adults who have had to move back in with their parents. In a 2012 survey, 198 out of 801 randomly selected young adults (ages 18-34) had to move back in with their parents after living alone. In a similar survey from the year 2000, 284 out of 1811 young adults had to move back in with their parents. The table below summarizes this information. The standard error (SE) is given to save calculation time. year total # who moved back (xx) total # in survey (nn) proportion p^=x/np^=x/n 2012 198 801 0.247191011235955 2000 284 1811 0.156819436775262 Standard Error: SE = 0.0164608118673214 Test the claim that a greater proportion of all young adults moved back in with their parents in 2012 than in 2000.

In a series of studies, Sebastian Deri and his colleagues (2017) asked multiple groups about the number of friend groups they had and how often they attended different social events. They then asked participants how they thought their own numbers compared to other people's: Did participants see themselves as less social, the same as, or more social than others? In the first study, the researchers reported that: "Three hundred four participants from Amazon's Mechanical Turk (150 women; Mage = 37.1; 78% White, 10% Black, and 6% Asian) completed a survey in exchange for modest payment" (p. 860). What do the researchers mean by "Amazon's Mechanical Turk" with respect to their sample of participants? O A. An archival data set that already exists and from which researchers can use data O B. An online tool that researchers can use to recruit people to participate in research in exchange for a small payment O C. An e-book sold by Amazon that includes contact information for possible…
