In USE SALT Use the given information to construct a 90% confidence interval for the difference in mean quiz score for the two treatments (texting allowed and texting not allowed). (Use uno textino Htext SALT. Round your answers to three decimal places.) -20.101 x -11.439 Interpret the interval. The confidence interval allows us vV to conclude that the true mean quiz score for the no-texting treatment group is greater than the true mean quiz score for the texting treatment because zero is not contained in the confidence interval.

A research article describes a study that investigated the relationship between depression and chocolate consumption. Participants in the study were 931 adults who were not currently taking medication for depression. These participants were screened for depression using a widely used screening test. The participants were then divided into two samples based on their test score. One sample consisted of people who screened positive for depression, and the other sample consisted of people who did not screen positive for depression. Each of the study participants also completed a food frequency survey. The researchers believed that the two samples were representative of the two populations of interest—adults who would screen positive for depression and adults who would not screen positive. The paper reported that the mean number of servings per month of chocolate for the sample of people that screened positive for depression was 8.37, and the sample standard deviation was 14.85. For the…
In a study about learning styles, researchers used a group of 64 elementary school students who volunteered to be part of the study. The researchers gave each student a pre-test and based upon the results, they divided them into 32 pairs of similarly scoring students. School administrators then randomly assigned one student from each pair to mathematics instruction online while the other student received in-person instruction in a traditional classroom. At the end of the year, all 64 students received a mathematics assessment, measured on a 100-point scale. The researchers calculated the difference (in person −− online) in the mathematics assessment scores for each pair of students. The 32 differences had a mean of 15 and a standard deviation of 3.9 points. Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the mean difference (in person −− online) in the mathematics assessment scores for all pairs of students like these who learn math either face-to-face or online.

The Consumer Reports Restaurant Customer Satisfaction Survey is based upon 148,599 visits to full-service restaurant chains. One of the variables in the study is meal price, the average amount paid per person for dinner and drinks, minus the tip. Suppose a reporter for the Sun Coast Times thought that it would be of interest to her readers to conduct a similar study for restaurants located in small town of South Carolina. The reporter selected a sample of 8 seafood restaurants, 8 Italian restaurants, and 8 steakhouses. The following data show the meal prices ($) obtained for the 24 restaurants sampled. Use a = 0.05 to test whether there is a significant difference among the mean meal price for the three types of restaurants. Italian Seafood Steakhouse $13 $12 $14 $16 $18 $21 $16 $26 $15 $16 $18 $28 $25 $17 $17 $19 $26 $21 $25 $24 $21 $23 $25 $31 Source Degrees of Sum of Squares of Mean Square F p -value Variation (to whole number) Freedom (to 2 decimals) (to 2 decimals) (to 4 decimals)…
People with headaches are randomly divided into two groups. One group gets pain medication, and the other does not. One hour later, the participants are asked about their pain. If it is an experimental study, what is the control group?
A team of researchers is interested in the effect on physical health of writing about thoughts and feelings associated with traumatic life events (Expressive Writing). The researchers recruit 32 undergraduate students to take part in the study and randomly assign them to be in an expressive Writing Croup or a Control Group. Students in the expressive writing group are instructed to write four 20 - minute essays over four consecutive days about their most traumatic life experiences. Students in the control group write four 20 – minute essays over consecutive days describing their plans for that day. One week later, the researchers ask the students to rate their overall level of physical health (on a scale 0 = very poor health to 100 = perfect health). EWG: 75, 86, 77, 91, 68, 74, 62, 93, 82, 79, 94, 56, 79, 86, 90, 97 CWG: 81, 76, 71, 70, 62, 50, 58, 63, 76, 64, 65, 72, 52, 59, 60, 61 Run the analysis using excel and “print” and INCLUDE the t-test output.

The authors of a research article were interested in the effect on female viewers of watching movies in which female heroines were portrayed in roles that focus on their sex appeal. They carried out an experiment in which female college students were assigned at random to one of two experimental groups. The 24 women in one group watched 13 minutes of scenes from a certain superhero film series and then responded to a questionnaire designed to measure body esteem. Lower scores on this measure correspond to lower body satisfaction. The 27 women in the other group (the control group) did not watch any video prior to responding to the questionnaire measuring body esteem. For the women who watched the video, the mean body esteem score was 4.44 and the standard deviation was 1.02. For the women in the control group, the mean body esteem score was 5.07 and the standard deviation was 0.98. For purposes of this exercise, you may assume that the distribution of body esteem scores for each of the…
An educational psychologist is interested in whether using a child’s own name in a story affected attention span while reading. Six children were randomly assigned to read a story under ordinary conditions (using common and generic names). Five other children read versions of the same story, but with each child’s ownname substituted for one of the children in the story. The researcher measured the amount of time (in minutes) each child spent reading the story. The results are shown in the following table. Does including the child’s namemake any difference in attention span? Test the hypothesis at an alpha set to .05, following these steps: a) write the null and alternative hypotheses; b) determine the critical value(s); c) draw the comparison distribution with rejection region(s) shaded; d)use the correct formula to compute the test statistic; e) state the statistical decision; f) state a brief conclusion.
