For each item below, identify the a) independent (IV), b) dependent (DV), and c) controlled (CV) variables. Write also a d) problem statement (PS) for the experiments. 1. A student wanted to test how the mass of a paper airplane affected the distance it would fly. Paper clips were added before each test flight. As each paper clip was added, the plane was tested to determine how far it would fly. 2. Green pea plants are given different amounts of water for a three-week period. The first pea plant receives 400 milliliters. The second pea plant receives 200 milliliters. The third pea plant receives 100 milliliters. Fourth pea plant does not receive any extra water: the plant only receives natural ways of receiving water. The height of the pea plants is recorded daily. 3. The amount of pollution produced by cars was measured for cars using gasoline containing different amounts of lead. 4. Four groups of rats are first massed and then fed identical diets except for the amount of vitamin A they receive. Each group gets a different amount. After 3 weeks on the diet, the rats' masses are measured again to see if there has been a decrease.

Forty-two percent of all registered voters in a particular state prefer life in prison without parole over the death penalty for a person convicted of first degree murder. Among Latino registered voters in the state, 53% prefer life in prison without parole over the death penalty for a person convicted of first degree murder. 37.8% of all citizens in the state are Latino.In this problem, define variables as the following. • C = Registered voters preferring life in prison without parole over the death penalty for a person convicted of first degree murder. • L = Latino citizens Suppose that one registered voter is randomly selected.Are L and C independent events? Show why or why not. A)Yes, because P(C ) equals P(C|L). B)Yes, because P(C ) does not equal P(C AND L). C)No, because P(C ) equals P(C|L). D)No, because P(C ) does not equal P(C|L).No, because P(C ) equals P(C AND L).

I am determining how effective a Drug is at reducing inflammation in individuals infected with a virus. the serum levels of antibody are measured as a measure of inflammation (less antibodies means less inflammation which decreases virus mortality) in 30 people given placebo, 30 people given 1 unit of the drug, and 30 people given 2 units of the drug. I would like to determine what levels of the drug are effective, and if there are sex-specific effects. What are the dependent and independent variables in this experiment? age _________ sex __________ antibody level _____________ treatment ___________
A student was interested in the impact of nutrition and exercise on mental health. She recruited a sample of 80 individuals. She divided the participants into 4 groups. One group was a control group. There was no treatment for this group. The second group was the diet group. These participants followed a strict diet that was designed by a dietitian. The nutrients in the diet were optimized for each individual. The third group was an exercise group. These participants worked with a personal trainer on an individualized exercise plan. The fourth group was the exercise and diet group. This group had both the dietitian and personal trainer intervention. After 3 weeks of treatment (or control), She measured their mental health with the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (WEMWBS). Some of the information is included in the ANOVA table below but I spilled a coffee on the output and the student already deleted the raw data...oh, no!! Given the ANOVA table below, what is the F-statistic?…
A health scientist is testing the effectiveness of three different diets (Diet A, Diet B, and Diet C). To determine diet effectiveness, a group of 72 participants were weighed and then randomly assigned to adhere to one of the three diets for a month (N = 24 for each group). At the end of the month, each participant was weighed again and the amount of weight lost was calculated in kilograms (kg). Using the variables “Diet” and “Weight Loss kg”, conduct a One-Way, Between Subjects, ANOVA, at α = 0.05, AND conduct Tukey's Post Hoc testing to find out which of the three diets was most effective. Identify the correct symbolic notation for the alternative hypothesis. A. HA: µ1 ≠ µ2 ≠ µ3 B. H0: µ1 = µ2 C. H0: µ1 = µ2 = µ3 D. HA: µ1 ≠ µ2

In 2020, the Lakers beat the Heat in the NBA championship. Beth is a Lakers fan. Alex is Heat fan. Even though the Lakers won the championship, they need to know once and for all: which team had the better players during the regular season in 2020? Write up your results as you would see it in a results section of an empirical research paper (in APA style). Make sure to include the means and SDs.
The relative effectiveness of two different sales techniques was tested on 12 volunteer housewives. Each housewife was exposed to each sales technique and asked to buy a certain product, the same product in all cases. At the end of each exposure, each housewife rated the technique with a 1 if she felt she would have agreed to buy the product and a 0 if she probably would not have bought the product.

A school Psychologist is interested in the effect of violent television programs on a child's agression depending on if the show is a cartoon or not. Eighty children were recruited and were divided into equal groups. Half of the children watched a violent television program while the other half watched a non- violent program. Half of the children watched a cartoon while the other half watched a show that was not a cartoon. The children were then placed in a small group and the researcher measured the level of agressiveness of each child.
