To check the effect of hot temperatures on the elasticity of two brands of rubber bands, one box of Brand A and one box of Brand B rubber bands are tested. Ten bands from the Brand A box are placed in a warm car in the sun for two hours and ten bands from the Brand B box are kept at room temperature. The amount of stretch before the breakage is measured on each rubber band, and the mean for the hot bands is compared to the mean for the others. Is this a good experimental design? No, because No, because temperature is confounded No, because No, because the means are more than two more not proper Yes brands should temperatures should be used. statistics for be used. with brand. comparison.
Previous studies have shown that playing video games can increase visual perception abilities on tasks presented in the gaming zone of the screen (within 5 degrees of the center). A graduate student is interested in whether playing video games increases peripheral visual perception abilities or decreases attention to peripheral regions because of focus on the gaming zone. For her study, she selects a random sample of 64 adults. The subjects complete a difficult spatial perception task to determine baseline levels of their abilities. After playing an action video game (a first-person combat simulation) for 1 hour a day over 10 days, they complete the difficult perception task for a second time. Before playing the action video game, the mean score in their accuracy on the spatial task was 0.42. After playing the action video game, the mean score was -0.08. The mean of the differences between each person's pre- and postscores was 0.5, with a standard deviation of the differences equal to…
To illustrate the effects of driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol, a police officer brought a DUI simulator to a local high school. Student reaction time in an emergency was measured with unimpaired vision and also while wearing a pair of special goggles to simulate the effects of alcohol on vision. For a random sample of nine teenagers, the time (in seconds) required to bring the vehicle to a stop from a speed of 60 miles per hour was recorded. Complete parts (a) and (b). Note: A normal probability plot and boxplot of the data indicate that the differences are approximately normally distributed with no outliers. Click the icon to view the data table. (a) Whether the student had unimpaired vision or wore goggles first was randomly selected. Why is this a good idea in designing the experiment? A. This is a good idea in designing the experiment because it controls for any "learning" that may occur in using the simulator. B. This is a good idea in designing the experiment because…

A study published by Babcock and Marks (2010) showed that the average full-time U.S. college student studied for μ = 14 hours per week (SD = 4.8 hours per week) in 2005. We want to know if this average has changed in the past 15 years. In other words, we are going to do a study in which we try to determine whether there has been an impact of the passage of time on the amount of time college students spend studying. We selected a sample of n = 64 of today’s college students and find that they spent an average of M = 12.5 hours per week studying. Does this sample indicate a significant change in the number of hours spent studying? Use a two-tailed test (this means non-directional hypothesis) with α = .05.
The toco toucan, the largest member of the toucan family, possesses the largest beak relative to body size of all birds. This exaggerated feature has received various interpretations, such as being a refined adaptation for feeding. However, the large surface area may also be an important mechanism for radiating heat (and hence cooling the bird) as outdoor temperature increases. The table contains data for beak heat loss, as a percentage of total body heat loss from all sources, at various temperatures in degrees Celsius. The data show that beak heat loss is higher at higher temperatures and that the relationship is roughly linear.

Is Your Nose Getting Bigger?Next time you see an elderly man, check out his nose and ears! While most parts of the human body stop growing as we reach adulthood, studies show that noses and ears continue to grow larger throughout our lifetime. In one study1 examining noses, researchers report "Age significantly influenced all analyzed measurements:" including volume, surface area, height, and width of noses. In a test to see whether males, on average, have bigger noses than females, the study indicates that "p<0.01."Let group 1 be males and group 2 be females.1Sforza C, Grandi G, De Menezes M, Tartaglia GM, Ferrario VF, "Age- and sex-related changes in the normal human external nose", Forensic Science International, 2011 Jan 30;204(1-3):205.e1-9.

A baseball pitcher, concerned about losing speed from his fastball, undertook a new training regimen during the offseason. His team's pitching coach measured the speed of 20 random fastballs (in miles per hour) thrown by the pitcher during spring training, and compared it with a sample of 20 random fastballs thrown during the pitcher's last five starts in the previous season. The results are shown in the following table. Assume that the pitcher's fastball speeds had a standard deviation of 2.9 miles per hour both before and after the training regimen and that the speeds for both time periods are normally distributed. Let the pitcher's fastball speeds in the previous season be the first sample, and let the pitcher's fastball speeds in spring training be the second sample. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there evidence that the pitcher is throwing fastballs at higher speeds? Find the test statistic, rounded to two decimal places, and the p-value, rounded to three decimal places.…
