If a set of exam scores forms a negatively skewed distribution, what can you conclude about the students’ scores a. Most of the students had relatively high scores b. Most of the students had relatively low scores c. About 50% of the students had high scores and the rest had low scores d. It is not possible to draw any conclusions about the students’ scores
A professor using an open-source introductory statistics book predicts that 60% of the students will purchase a hard copy of the book, 25% will print it out from the web, and 15% will read it online. She has 200 students this semester. Assuming that the professor's predictions were correct, calculate the expected number of students who read the book online.
Read through this scenario and look at the data that was collected. State the null and all possible research hypotheses. Review the results below (I used SPSS) and answer the questions that follow. Scenario: A researcher wants to see if gender and / or income affects the total amount of help given to a stranger who is sitting on the side of a busy road with a sign asking for help. The independent variables are gender, income, and the interaction of gender and income. The dependent variable is total help. He wants to know if one or both factors – or the interaction of the two - affects the total amount of help offered. Because he is analyzing two independent variables (gender and income), he used a factorial ANOVA. His results show the main effect of each of the independent variables on the dependent variable (total help) and the interaction effect. The researcher is using a 95% confidence interval which means that he wants to be at least 95% sure that his independent variables…
Inspired by the example about how background music influences choice of entrée at a restaurant, a statistics student decided to investigate other ways to influence a person's behavior. Using 60 volunteers, she randomly assigned 20 volunteers to get a "red" survey, 20 volunteers to get a "blue" survey, and 20 volunteers to get a control survey. The first three questions on each survey were the same, but the fourth and fifth questions were different. For example, the fourth question on the "red" survey was "When you think of the color red, what do you think about?" On the blue survey, the question replaced red with blue. On the control survey, the last two questions were not about color. As a reward, each volunteer was allowed to choose a chocolate candy in a red wrapper or a chocolate candy in a blue wrapper. The table shows the result of the experiment. We want to test Ho: The distribution of candy choice is the same for subjects like these who receive the red survey, the blue survey,…
You are a public health researcher. You want to see if the average age that a person starts smoking has changed over time. Smokers are recruited to answer a survey that asked at what age they started smoking. You divided participants into two groups, one is participants under the age of 30 and the second for participants over the age of 30. The average age for the two groups were compared. Which statistical test would be best to determine if there is a significant different in starting age between the two groups.
Empathy among police officers influences how they interact with citizens and the likelihood that they receive complaints. Gender differences in levels of empathy in the general population are not large but male and female officers have been shown to have different interaction styles with the public; this may be due to the different empathy levels. After sampling officers and measuring their levels of empathy you find the following data. Males Females n = 6 n = 9 M = 31 M = 45 SS = 490 SS = 680 If you were going to make gender comparisons like this, which option would be the correct choice? Write A or B in the box. [a] Option A. Independent-measures t-test Option B. Repeated-measures t-test
A contributor for the local newspaper is writing an article for the weekly fitness section. To prepare for the story, she conducts a study to compare the exercise habits of people who exercise in the morning to the exercise habits of people who work out in the afternoon or evening. She selects three different health centers from which to draw her samples. The 6060 people she sampled who work out in the morning have a mean of 3.33.3 hours of exercise each week. The 4747 people surveyed who exercise in the afternoon or evening have a mean of 3.43.4 hours of exercise each week. Assume that the weekly exercise times have a population standard deviation of 0.40.4 hours for people who exercise in the morning and 0.70.7 hours for people who exercise in the afternoon or evening. Let Population 1 be people who exercise in the morning and Population 2 be people who exercise in the afternoon or evening. Step 1 of 2 : Construct a 99%99% confidence interval for the true difference…
A researcher conducts an independent-measures study to examine how the brain chemical serotonin is related to aggression. One sample of rats serves as a control group and receives a placebo that does not affect normal levels of serotonin. A second sample of rats, low serotonin group, receives a drug that lowers brain levels of serotonin. Then, the researcher tests the animals by recording the number of aggressive responses each of the rats display. See the data below. Is there a significant difference between the control group and the low serotonin group regarding the number of aggressive responses? Control Low Serotonin n = 10 n = 15 M = 14 M = 19 SS = 180.5 SS = 130 Perform a hypothesis test using independent-measures t-test. Use a two-tailed…
April and Heather began arguing about who did better on their tests, but they couldn't decide who did better given that they took different tests. April took a test in Science and earned a 74.4, and Heather took a test in English and earned a 69.7. Use the fact that all the students' test grades in the Science class had a mean of 71.3 and a standard deviation of 8.9, and all the students' test grades in English had a mean of 60.5 and a standard deviation of 8.5 to answer the following questions. a) Calculate the z-score for April's test grade. b) Calculate the z-score for Heather's test grade. c) Which person did relatively better? April Heather O They did equally well. Submit Question logi $22 *3 F4 F8 7. 8. %4
If your goal is to not only explore a relationship between two variables but also predict one given the value of the other, which type of statistical test is most appropriate?
A psychologist wanted to know if students in her class were more likely to cheat if they were low achievers. She divided her 60 students into three groups (low, middle, and high) based on their mean exam score on the previous three tests. She then asked them to rate how likely they were to cheat on an exam if the opportunity presented itself with a very limited chance for consequences. The students rated their desire to cheat on a scale ranging from 1-100, with lower numbers indicating less desire to cheat. Before opening the data, what would you hypothesize about this research question? Open the data set. Before running any statistical analyses, glance through the data. Do you think that your hypothesis will be supported? Conduct descriptive analyses and report them here. Conduct a one-way ANOVA. Report your statistical findings (including any applicable tables in APA format) here. What would you conclude from this analysis? What would be your next steps, if this…
Does the attendance in nursery school relate to the thinking skills of a pupil? Assume that 12 pupils were randomly chosen from a Grade 1 class and were given a test on thinking skills.Given the scores below, are these two variables related? For attendance of nursery school, “1” means did attend and “0” did not attend. The data are given below.
