Bullying,” according to noted expert Dan Olweus, “poisons the educational environment and affects the learning of every child.” Bullying and victimization are evident as early as preschool, with the problem peaking in middle school. Suppose you are interested in the emotional well-being of not only the victims but also bystanders, bullies, and those who bully but who are also victims (bully-victims). You decide to measure anxiety in a group of bullies and a group of victims using an 18-item, 5-point anxiety scale. Assume scores on the anxiety scale are normally distributed and that the variances of the anxiety scores are the same among bullies and victims. The group of 23 bullies scored an average of 40.1 with a sample standard deviation of 10 on the anxiety scale. The group of 28 victims scored an average of 46.8 with a sample standard deviation of 11 on the same scale. You do not have any presupposed assumptions about whether bullies or victims will be more anxious, so you formulate…
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a psychological illness marked by an ongoing pattern of varying moods, self-image, and behavior. A psychologist wants to evaluate the effectiveness of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) on BPD in a two month study. The psychologist randomly selected 500 people who have BPD to participate in a study. The 500 participants were divided into two groups based on gender. The first group, contained 344 females, they were given medication along with DBT therapy. The second group were comprised of 156 males, they received medication alone. At the end of the two month study, the psychologist administered a standard test to evaluate the symptoms of BPD. It was found that the group that received the DBT therapy along with the medication had about the same level of improvement in symptoms as the group that received the medication alone. The psychologist concluded that there is no evidence that DBT therapy is effective at improving the symptoms of Borderline…
Do sit down restaurant franchises and fast food franchises differ significantly in stock price? Specifically, is the average stock price for sit-down restaurants different from the average stock price for fast food restaurants? If sit down restaurants are considered group 1 and fast food restaurants are group 2, what are the hypotheses of this scenario?

Westminster Financial has released a summary of investor and investment package information from the past fiscal year. During this time, Westminster provided a choice among 12 pre-designed investment packages. The investment packages were classified according to two variables: riskiness of investment package chosen ("Risky", "Moderate/mixed", and "Conservative") and age of investor ("Under 35", "35-49", or "50+"). Suppose that we're interested in the possible relationship between the age of the investor and the riskiness of the investment package the investor chose. The following contingency table gives a summary of the information released by Westminster regarding age and riskiness of investment package for 150 investors. In the cells of the table are the respective observed frequencies, and three of the cells also have blanks. Fill in these blanks with the frequencies expected if the two variables, riskiness of investment package chosen and age of investor, are independent. Round…

A doctor wanted to study the effect of four different treatments on mental health. A group of 100 adults experiencing depression volunteered for the study. The doctor randomly assigned one-fourth of them to each of four groups. Group 1 followed a specific exercise plan, group 2 followed a specific diet plan, group 3 followed an exercise and diet plan, and group 4 did not follow any plan. After 4 weeks, the doctor contacted each participant and asked them if they felt any better. The results are displayed in the table. The doctor would like to know if these data provide convincing evidence that the distribution of responses differs across the treatment groups in the population of all patients like these. The random condition is met. The 10% condition is not needed because random sampling did not take place. This table of expected counts shows that all expected counts are at least 5. What is the value of the chi-square test statistic? χ‑2 = 5.03 χ‑2 = 6.26 χ‑2 = 25.33 χ‑2 = 39.22
