I NEED THE ANSWER TO THE "NUMBER OF DUMMY VARIABLES" A manager of a local package delivery store believes that too many of the packages were damaged or lost. She extracts a sample of 75 packages with the following variables: the package number (Package), the status of the package (Status: Delivered, Damaged, or Lost), the delivery type (Delivery: Standard, Express, or Same day), and the size of the package (Size: S, M, L, and XL). A portion of the data is shown in the accompanying table. Package Status Delivery Size 1 Damaged Standard M 2 Lost Express L ⋮ ⋮ ⋮ ⋮ 75 Damaged Same day M a)Transform the Delivery variable into dummy variables. Use the most frequent category as the reference category. How many dummy variables should be created? Which category of Delivery is the reference category? Number of dummy variables: ???? Reference Category: Standard Package Status Delivery Size 1 Damaged Standard M 2 Lost Express L 3 Lost Standard S 4 Delivered…
Suppose you have access to a database with the variables listed below. Choose two variables you are interested in exploring that may be related (a predictor and outcome). Which variable is your y (outcome) and which is your x (predictor)? *Hint: which one may predict the other? Example: hot weather may predict sunburns.
The director of library services at a college did a survey of types of books (by subject) in the circulation library. Then she used library records to take a random sample of 888 books checked out last term and classified the books in the sample by subject. The results are shown below.

Let’s say a psychologist suspects that emotions affect people’s eating habits, but that the eating habits of anxious people are affected differently. Ten highly anxious subjects are randomly divided into two equal-sized groups, one of which views a horror movie while the other watches a comedy. Ten non-anxious control subjects are similarly divided. The number of ounces of popcorn eaten by each subject during the movie is recorded. How many independent variables are there in this design? Name each of the factors and levels (using appropriate descriptors from the paragraph): How many total conditions (groups) are there in this design? Name the dependent variable:
Wall Street financiers 3,800 4,100 2,200 5,300 artists 1,300 1,700 2,300 2,100 Consider a research design in which four Wall Street financiers and four artists are measured on calorie intake. Their occupation is what sort of variable, standing in as the independent variable? (This is a very short answer).

Psychologists at Disney World measured factors that affect the scariness of the soundtrack for their Haunted House ride. In particular, they were interested in the loudness of the screams (soft versus loud) and the length of the screams (short versus long). They used a 2 × 2 factorial design to test how these factors combined. They collected data from 10 different riders in each of the four conditions. Each rider rated the scariness of the ride on a nine-point scale. short screams long screams soft screams T=38, n = 10, SS = 13.6 T=64, n = 10, SS = 22.4 loud screams T=52, n=10, SS = 29.6 T=50, n=10, SS = 16.0 For these data: G = 204, N = 40, X2 = 1156. 1. Sketch a dataplot of the mean rating in each condition. 2. Calculate SS total, the total sum of squares 3. Calculate SSwithin, the within-treatments sum of squares. 4. Calculate SSbetween, the between-treatments sum of squares. 5. Calculate SSA the sum of squares for Factor A (length of scream). 6. Calculate SSB, the sum of squares…
