Behavioural Researchers view the internet and social media addiction as a disorder characterized by the excessive use of Facebook, Instagram, Snap chat, Twitter and other forms of social media such that it affects other aspects of life, including real-life relationships and academic achievement among those still in education. The paper "The Association between Aggressive Behaviors and Internet Addiction and Online Activities in Adolescents" (Journal of Adolescent Health [2009]: 598-605) reported on a study of more than 9400 adolescents. Each participant in the study was assessed using the Chen Internet Addiction Scale to determine if he or she suffered from Internet addiction. The following statements are based on the survey results: a) 51.8% of the study participants were female and 48.2% were male. b) 13.1% of females suffered from Internet addiction. c) 24.8% of the males suffered from Internet addiction Required i) What is the probability that an adolescent is addicted to the internet ii) What is the proportion of those who suffer from internet addiction that are female

Social media provides an enormous amount of data about the activities and habits of people using social platforms like Face book and Twitter. The belief is that mining that data provides a treasure trove for those who seek to quantify and predict future human behavior. A marketer is planning a survey of Internet users in the United States to determine social media usage. The objective of the survey is to gain insight on these three items: key social media platforms used, frequency of social media usage, and demographics of key social media platform users. a. For each of the three items listed, indicate whether the variables are categorical or numerical. If a variable is numerical, is it dis crete or continuous? b. Develop five categorical questions for the survey. c. Develop five numerical questions for the survey.
An HR expert at an insurance company is considering the introduction of personality tests in the process of recruiting sales agents. It is hypothesised that certain personality traits may contribute to being a successful sales agent, and therefore personality profiles can be used to select the best applicants for open positions. The introduction of personality measures in the recruitment process, however, is only meaningful if there is evidence that certain personality characteristics are related to job performance. To test whether success in this occupation is related to personality features, the expert conducts a study, in which a random sample of currently employed sales agents fill in a questionnaire measuring three traits: (1) extraversion, (2) conscientiousness and (3) agreeableness. Each trait is measured on a scale ranging between 0 and 10 points. To test whether the annual total value of insurance policies sold by an agent can be predicted from personality scores, a multiple…
A company conducted a survey of its employees to collect information about the travel time of the employees from their homes towards its offices. In response to the question on commute, 60% said they travelled one hour per day, 25% reported they travelled two hours per day, and 15% reported they travelled three hours per day. The next year, upon observing changes in the condition of the roads and the number of commuters travelling on a regular basis, the company again conducted a survey to check for the travel time of the employees. The following data were gathered: Based on the data, is there evidence of a shift in the distribution of responses to the travel time question a year after initial question was made? Run the test at a 5% level of significance.
Was the study an experiment (see Chapter 11) or quasi-experiment (see Chapter 12)? How do you know? Levine, L. J., Burgess, S. L., & Laney, C. (2008). Effects of discrete emotions on young children’s suggestibility. Developmental Psychology, 44, 681–694. Purpose of the Study. Levine, Burgess, and Laney (2008) conducted a study to investigate the effect of children’s emotions on their memory abilities and the likelihood that their memory accuracy would decline due to leading questions about their memories for a story. This knowledge may be useful in determining the conditions under which children’s memories are less likely to be accurate, which is important in various applied situations, such as when children must testify in court about something they experienced. Method of the Study. Four- and six-year-old children participated in the study. Each child was presented with three stories. A task at the end of each story was designed to elicit happiness, sadness, or anger. This…
2. In a study of parents' feelings about a required course in consumer education taught to their children, a random sample of 360 parents are classified according to whether they have one, two or more children in the school system, and also whether they feel that the course is poor, adequate or good. The results are shown in the table to the right. Test at the 0.05 level of significance whether there is a relationship between parents' reaction to the course and the number of children they have in the school system. Poor Adequate Good 1 kid 48 55 57 2 kids 40 53 46 3+ kids 12 29 20
Early-Onset Dementia. Dementia is the loss of the intellectual and social abilities severe enough to interfere with judgment, behavior, and daily functioning. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia. In the article “Living with Early Onset Dementia: Exploring the Experience and Developing Evidence-Based Guidelines for Practice” (Alzheimer’s Care Quarterly, Vol. 5, Issue 2, pp. 111–122), P. Harris and J. Keady explored the experience and struggles of people diagnosed with dementia and their families. If the mean age at diagnosis of all people with early-onset dementia is 55 years, find the probability that a random sample of 21 such people will have a mean age at diagnosis less than 52.5 years. Assume that the population standard deviation is 6.8 years. State any assumptions that you are making in solving this problem.
“Poor quality medicines” is a term inclusive of counterfeit, substandard, and degraded medicines. In a study of 225 medicines with questionable quality, the following data was obtained: 90 were found to be counterfeit, 80 are substandard, and 68 are degraded. 12 were also reported to be counterfeit and substandard, 10 were counterfeit and degraded, and 14 were substandard and degraded. There are 5 medications that had all three problems. What is the probability that a randomly selected medication in this study belongs to only counterfeit? P(Counterfeit) = Round to two decimal places What is the probability that a randomly selected medication in this study belongs to only substandard? P(Substandard) = Round to two decimal places What is the probability that a randomly selected medication in this study belongs to only degraded? P(Degraded) = Round to two decimal places What is the probability that a randomly selected medication in this study does not have…
Hepatitis B and Pancreatic Cancer. The article “Study Links Hepatitis B and Cancer of Pancreas” by D. Grady, appeared in the September 29, 2008 issue of the NewYork Times. It reported that, for the first time, a study showed that people with pancreatic cancer are more likely than those without the disease to have been infected with the hepatitis B virus. The study by M. Hassan et al., titled “Association Between Hepatitis B Virus and Pancreatic Cancer” (Journal of Clinical Oncology, Vol. 26, No. 28, pp. 4557–4562) compared 476 people who had pancreatic cancer with 879 healthy control subjects. All were tested to see whether they had ever been infected with the viruses that cause hepatitis B or hepatitis C. The results were that no connection was found to hepatitis C, but the cancer patients were twice as likely as the healthy subjects to have had hepatitis B. The researchers noted, however, that “. . . while the study showed an association, it did not prove cause and effect. More work…

Phonics is an instructional method in which children are taught to connect sounds with letters or groups of letters. The article “Predictive Accuracy of Nonsense Word Fluency for English Language Learners” (M. Vanderwood, D. Linklater, and K. Healy, School Psychology Review, 2008:5–17) reports that in a sample of 134 English-learning students, the correlation between the score on a phonics test given in first grade and a reading comprehension given in third grade was r = 0.25. Can you conclude that there is a positive correlation between phonics test score and the reading comprehension score?
The article "Freedom of What?" (Associated Press, February 1, 2005) described a study in which high school students and high school teachers were asked whether they agreed with the following statement: "Students should be allowed to report controversial issues in their student newspapers without the approval of school authorities." Researchers hypothesized that the long-run proportion of high school teachers who would agree with the statement would differ from the long-run proportion of high school students who would agree. Two random samples - 8,000 high school teachers and 10,000 high school students were selected from high schools in the U.S. It was reported that 39% of the teachers surveyed and 58% of the students surveyed agreed with the statement. A simulated null distribution of 1,000 differences in proportions created by using the Two Proportion applet is shown below.
