Empathy means being able to understand what others feel. To see how the brain expresses empathy, researchers recruited 16 couples in their midtwenties who were married or had been dating for at least two years. They zapped the man's hand with an electrode while the woman watched, and measured the activity in several parts of the woman's brain that would respond to her own pain. Brain activity was recorded as a fraction of the activity observed when the woman herself was zapped with the electrode. The women also completed a psychological test that measures empathy.

... This problem has been solved! See the answer In a study, researchers wanted to measure the effect of alcohol on the hippocampal region, the portion of the brain responsible for long-term memory storage, in adolescents. The researchers randomly selected 10 adolescents with alcohol use disorders to determine whether the hippocampal volumes in the alcoholic adolescents were less than the normal volume of 9.02 cm cubed. An analysis of the sample data revealed that the hippocampal volume is approximately normal with x =8.08 cm cubed and s=0.7 cm cubed. Conduct the appropriate test at the 0.01 level of significance. State the null and alternative hypotheses. Upper H 0: mu equals 9.02 Upper H 1: mu less than 9.02 Identify the t-statistic. (Round to two decimal places as needed. Identify the P-value.

you are analyzing the variables that explain the returns on the stock of the Boeing Com- pany. Because overall market returns are likely to explain a part of the returns on Boeing, you decide to include the returns on a value-weighted index of all the companies listed on the nySe, aMeX, and naSdaQ as an independent variable. Further, because Boeing is a large company, you also decide to include the returns on the S&P 500 index, which is a value-weighted index of the larger market-capitalization companies. Finally, you decide to include the changes in the uS dollar’s value. to conduct your test, you have collected the following data for the period 1990–2002. Rt = monthly return on the stock of Boeing in month t RALLt = monthly return on a value-weighted index of all the companies listed on the nySe, aMeX, and naSdaQ in month t RSPt = monthly return on the S&P 500 index in month t ΔXt = change in month t in the log of a trade-weighted index of the foreign exchange value of the uS…
It may seem odd, but one of the ways biologists can tell how old a lobster is involves measuring the concentration of a pigment called neurolipofuscin in the eyestalk of a lobster. (We are not making this up!) Biologists wondered if it was sufficient to measure the pigment in just one eye stalk, which would be the case if there is a strong relationship between the concentration in the right and left eyestalks. Suppose pigment concentration (as a percentage of tissue sample) was measured in both eyestalks for 39 lobsters, resulting in the following summary quantities. n= 39Σx= 86.8Σy= 84.1 Σxy= 281.1Σx2= 286.0Σy2= 284.8An alternative formula for computing the correlation coefficient that is based on raw data and is algebraically equivalent to the one given in the text is r = Σxy − (Σx)(Σy)n Σx2 − (Σx)2n Σy2 − (Σy)2n.Use this formula to calculate the value of the correlation coefficient. (Round your answer to three decimal places.) r = Interpret this value. There is no linear…
In a science fair project, Emily conducted an 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 Emily's hand without seeing it and without touching it. Among 356 trials, the touch therapists were correct 167 times. Complete parts (a) through (d). a. Given that Emily used a coin toss to select either her right hand or her left hand, what proportion of correct responses would be expected if the touch therapists made random guesses? (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.)
Does talking while walking slow you down? Suppose a study considered mean cadence (steps per minute) for subjects using no walking device, a standard walker, and a rolling walker. In addition, the cadence was measured when the subjects had to perform dual tasks. The second task was to respond vocally to a signal or respond to an interview question while walking. Cadence was measured for subjects who were just walking (using no walking device, a standard walker, or a rolling walker), for subjects required to respond to a signal, and for subjects required to respond to an interview question while walking. How many cells are there in the data table?

A statistical program is recommended. The authors of an article found that the speed of a prey (twips/s) and the length of a prey (twips ✕ 100) are good predictors of the time (seconds) required to catch the prey. (A twip is a measure of distance used by programmers.) Data were collected in an experiment in which subjects were asked to "catch" an animal of prey moving across his or her computer screen by clicking on it with the mouse. The investigators varied the length of the prey and the speed with which the prey moved across the screen. The following data are consistent with summary values and a graph given in the article. Each value represents the average catch time over all subjects. The order of the various speed-length combinations was randomized for each subject.

What is the answer to question 15?
A researcher is interested in studying the effects of altitude on cognitive performance (e.g., perception, memory, problem solving, etc.). The researcher finds a group of experienced mountain climbers (n = 10) who volunteer to participate in the study. All of the climbers are tested at three different altitudes—at sea level (in the researchers’ laboratory at the University of California, San Diego), at the base camp (9,000 feet above sea level), and at 23,000 feet above sea level (at the peak of Mt. Denali in Alaska). At each location, the climbers perform a memory task (remember a list of 16 non-words like “biv”), and the accuracy of their memory is recorded (i.e., # of correctly recalled words). a. pls name the independent variable, dependent variable, levels of the IV, and the type of experiment design of this study (i.e., b/w- or w/i-subject design ) b. on what level of measurement is accuracy of memory assessed? (i.e., is it on nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio?
The authors of a paper compared two different instruments for measuring a person's capacity for breathing out air. (This measurement is helpful in diagnosing various lung disorders.) The two instruments considered were a Wright peak flow meter and a mini-Wright peak flow meter. Seventeen people participated in the study, and for each person air flow was measured once using the Wright meter and once using the mini-Wright meter. The Wright meter is thought to provide a better measure of air flow, but the mini-Wright meter is easier to transport and to use. Use of the mini-Wright meter could be recommended as long as there is not convincing evidence that the mean reading for the mini-Wright meter is different from the mean reading for Wright meter. For purposes of this exercise, you can assume that it is reasonable to consider the 17 people who participated in this study as representative of the population of interest. Data values from this paper are given in the accompanying table.…
