Method: There was a separate dining room where the study took place with a big-screen TV to watch the game. During the game, wings were provided free of charge. The tables were randomly assigned to condition. In the bussed condition the bones left over from the wings were regularly and continually removed from the table. In the unbussed condition, the residual bones were left on the plates on the table. Participants in both conditions were periodically encouraged to get more wings. At half-time, the bones from both tables were weighted and counted. What is the conceptual hypothesis for this study? What is the operational hypothesis for this study? What is the independent variable? What is the experimental or treatment condition? Is there a control condition? Defend your answer. What is the dependent variable? What, if any, are the extraneous variables? What, if any, are the confounding variables? Was the hypothesis supported? Support your answer with the results of the study. Make…
Use the following information to answer the next four problems: In an experiment, 1919 babies were asked to watch a climber attempt to ascend a hill. On two occasions, the baby witnesses the climber fail to make the climb. Then, the baby witnesses either a helper toy push the climber up the hill, or a hinderer toy preventing the climber from making the ascent. The toys were shown to each baby in a random fashion. A second part of this experiment showed the climber approach the helper toy, which is not a surprising action, and then the climber approached the hinderer toy, which is a surprising action. The amount of time the baby watched the event was recorded. The mean difference in time spent watching the climber approach the hinderer toy versus watching the climber approach the helper toy was 105 seconds with a standard deviation of 195 seconds. State the null and alternative hypotheses to determine if babies tend to look at the hinderer toy longer than the helper toy. Let…
Sleep researchers were trying to understand the impact of cell phone use before bedtime on the amount of time it took a person to fall asleep. Using a matched pairs design, they chose 8 subjects and recorded the amount of time it took the subject to fall asleep, both when using the cell phone up to attempting to sleep and stopping using the cell phone 2 hours prior to attempting to sleep, in random order. The amount of time for each person for each attempt is recorded in the table below. Person 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8Until Attempt 22 17 45 15 35 19 36 18Two Hours Prior 18 18 40 8 23 15 32 12Difference a. Compute the difference for each observation.b. Based on the above data compute the mean and sample standard deviation of the difference.

At a Raffle, 1000 tickets are sold at $5 each. There are 20 prizes of $100, and 1 grand prize of $2000. Suppose you buy one ticket. Let the random Variable X represent your net gain (remember that the net gain should include the cost of the ticket) after playing the game once. Question: If you ply in such a raffle 100 times, what is the expected net gain?

Heads up Imagine tossing a coin 6 times and recording heads (H) or tails (T) on each toss. Which of the following outcomes is more likely: HTHTTH or TTTHHH? Justify your answer.
You are hiking through the woods, and come across some tracks; based on your expe- rience, you estimate there is a 40% chance the tracks are from a dog, a 30% chance the tracks are from a wolf, a 20% chance the tracks are from a coyote, and a 10% chance the tracks are from some other animal. Your friend, also a nature lover, notices some white hairs in the tracks. They know that 20% of dogs have white hair, 50% of wolves have white hair, 10% of coyotes have white hair, and 30% of other animals in the area have white hair. What are the odds of these tracks coming from a dog, wolf, coyote, or other animal?
