Question

1A study of the effect of exposure to color (red or blue) on the ability to solve puzzles used 42 subjects. Half the subjects (21) were asked to solve a series of puzzles while in a red-colored environment. The other half were asked to solve the same series of puzzles while in a blue-colored environment. The time taken to solve the puzzles was recorded for each subject. To compare the mean times for the two groups of subjects using statistical procedures, what is the degrees of freedom?
d.f.?

2.A study of commuting times reports the travel times to work of a random sample of 1066 employed adults in Chicago. The mean is x = 53.0 minutes and the standard deviation is s = 47.9 minutes. What is the standard error of the mean? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
? minutes

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
