An efficiency study of the first shift (from 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.) at a certain factory indicates that an average worker who arrives on the job at 8:00 A.M. will have assembled Q(t) = -2t3 + 8t2 + 10t MPEG Players t hours later. How many hours after the start of the shift is the worker performing most efficiently?

The cuttlefish, a cephalopod and first cousin of the octopus, has the ability to camouflage to almost any natural sea environment instantaneously (within a few milliseconds). They are also able to camouflage to non-natural environments but not quite as quickly. A cognitive psychologist is interested in whether cuttles exhibit learning (by showing a reduction in reaction time) after repeated exposure to the same environment. Initially, 10 baby cuttlefish are individually placed in a tank with a checkerboard bottom and their reaction time (time to camouflage) is recorded. Over the next month the samecuttlefish are exposed to the same environment daily and at the end of the month each cuttlefish's reaction time is recorded again. The data are recorded in the table below. Reaction Time (seconds) Subject Before After 1 58 41 2 48 45 3 54 40 4 56 42 5 55 48 6 55 41 7 43 32 8 51 44 9 62 38 10 35…

A 9-year-old girl did a science fair experiment in which she tested professional touch therapists to see if they could sense her energy field. She flipped a coin to select either her right hand or her left hand, and then she asked the therapists to identify the selected hand by placing their hand just under her hand without seeing it and without touching it. A 9-year-old girl did a science fair experiment in which she tested professional touch therapists to see if they could sense her energy field. She flipped a coin to select either her right hand or her left hand, and then she asked the therapists to identify the selected hand by placing their hand just under her hand without seeing it and without touching it. Among 257 trials, the touch therapists were correct 105 times. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that touch therapists use a method equivalent to random guesses. Do the results suggest that touch therapists are effective?
"A researcher investigated the short-term effect of including classical music on the standard relaxation therapy used in the treatment of smoking. The researcher investigated whether slow classical music when included with relaxation therapy has any significant effect on the behavior of smoking cigarettes. The slow classical music used with the therapy is the “Piano Concerto in A minor” by Edvard Grieg. A piano concerto is a type of concerto, a solo composition in the classical music genre, which is composed for a piano player and is typically accompanied by an orchestra or other large ensemble. Participants who smoked at least one pack of cigarettes a day (20 cigarettes in a pack) were randomly assigned to one of two groups. The participants in condition one received relaxation therapy that included classical music. The second condition consisted of participants who served as a control group and were given the same relaxation therapy but did not include the slow classical music. The…
Many runners believe that listening to music while running enhances their performance. The authors of a paper wondered if this is true for experienced runners. They recorded time to exhaustion for 11 triathletes while running on a treadmill at a speed determined to be near their peak running velocity. The time to exhaustion was recorded for each participant on two different days. On one day, each participant ran while listening to music that the runner selected as motivational. On a different day, each participant ran with no music playing. You can assume that it is reasonable to regard these 11 triathletes as representative of the population of experienced triathletes. Only summary quantities were given in the paper, but the data in the table below are consistent with the means and standard deviations given in the paper.

In his doctoral thesis, L. A. Beckel (University of Minnesota, 1982) studied the social behavior of river otters during the mating season. An important role in the bonding process of river otters is very short periods of social grooming. After extensive observations, Dr. Beckel found that one group of river otters under study had a frequency of initiating grooming of approximately 1.7 for each 10 minutes. Suppose that you are observing river otters for 30 minutes. Let r = 0, 1, 2, ... be a random variable that represents the number of times (in a 30-minute interval) one otter initiates social grooming of another. a) Find the probabilities that in your 30 minutes of observation, one otter will initiate social grooming four times, five times, and six times. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) P(4) = P(5) = P(6) = b) Find the probability that one otter will initiate social grooming less than four times during the 30-minute observation period. (Round your answer…
2. Iconic memory is a type of memory that holds visual information for about half a second (0.5 second). To demonstrate this type of memory, participants were shown three rows of four letters for 50 milliseconds. They were then asked to recall as many letters as possible, with a 0-, 0.5-, or 1.0-second delay before responding. Researchers hypothesized that longer delays would result in poorer recall. The number of letters correctly recalled is given in the table for this between-subjects designs.

A sleep researcher is interested in learning about how to help people fall asleep faster at night without taking medicine. She asks n = 13 individuals to wear a device to bed for two weeks straight. Half of the participants were asked to spray their pillows with a lavender mist for the first week then sleep with a regular "unscented" pillow for the second week. The other half of the participants were asked to do the same thing, but in the opposite order: unscented pillow then lavender misted pillow. Testing at an alpha level of a = .01, she expects the lavender scented pillow to decrease the amount of time it takes people to fall asleep.
