A psychologist wanted to know if students in her class were more likely to cheat if they were low achievers. She divided her 60 students into three groups (low, middle, and high) based on their mean exam score on the previous three tests. She then asked them to rate how likely they were to cheat on an exam if the opportunity presented itself with a very limited chance for consequences. The students rated their desire to cheat on a scale ranging from 1-100, with lower numbers indicating less desire to cheat. Before opening the data, what would you hypothesize about this research question? Open the data set. Before running any statistical analyses, glance through the data. Do you think that your hypothesis will be supported? Conduct descriptive analyses and report them here. Conduct a one-way ANOVA.

The College Board provided comparisons of Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores based on the highest level of education attained by the test taker's parents. A research hypothesis was that students whose parents had attained a higher level of education would on average score higher on the SAT. The overall mean SAT math score was 514. SAT math scores for independent samples of students follow. The first sample shows the SAT math test scores for students whose parents are college graduates with a bachelor's degree. The second sample shows the SAT math test scores for students whose parents are high school graduates but do not have a college degree.

A researcher gathered a sample of participants who volunteered for a studying of phobias. She measured anxiety level of participants as they viewed photos of spiders and again when they viewed puppies. Which statistical test is appropriate for this study and why?
According to the latest research 91% of people are right handed. In a sample of 120 people, what is the mean of the number of right number of right handed people?
Suppose that you wanted to buy a new Honda Civic and you want to wait until you can get a good deal. You want to see if the usual/average price of a Honda Civic is below the blue book value of $21,550. You are unsure that the prices of the current listings around you are lower than the blue book value of a Honda Civic so you randomly sample 49 listings from the area and find their sample mean selling price is $20,015 and their sample standard deviation is $1750.
A long-term study followed 128 women throughout their lifetime. Among thevarious data collected, one interesting result was that 35 of these women hadsuffered from a migraine at some point in their life Use the results of this study to test the claim that the percentage(proportion) of women in the population that will suffer from a migraine isless than 35% in their lifetime. Use 0.05 significance level. Use symbolsand words to express your answer.
One personality test available on the World Wide Web has a subsection designed to assess the "honesty" of the test-taker. After taking the test and seeing your score for this subsection, you're interested in the mean score, μ , among the general population on this subsection. The website reports that μ is 148 , but you believe that μ is greater than 148 . You decide to do a statistical test. You choose a random sample of people and have them take the personality test. You find that their mean score on the subsection is 152 and that the standard deviation of their scores is 28 . Based on this information, answer the questions below. What are the null hypothesis ( H0 ) and the alternative hypothesis ( H1 ) that should be used for the test? H0 : μ is H1 : μ is In the context of this test, what is a Type I error?A Type I error is the hypothesis that μ is when, in fact, μ is .Suppose that you decide not to…
The admisnistrators of Rowan university wants to know more about the knowledge of students regarding international events. They are concerned that their students are uninformed with regards to the news from other countries. When a standardized test is used to assess the knowledge of all students at al US universities about world events, it is reported that the national mean. A sample of 35 students from Rowan university are tested and the sample mean is 58 and the standard error is 3.2. The 99 percent confidence interval of population mean knowledge of the students at Rowan university has to be determined. 6. The 99 percent confidence interval of the population mean knowledge of the students at Rowan university based on this sample data is?
Logan and Brian began arguing about who did better on their tests, but they couldn't decide who did better given that they took different tests. Logan took a test in Art History and earned a 76.8, and Brian took a test in English and earned a 68.9. Use the fact that all the students' test grades in the Art History class had a mean of 71.9 and a standard deviation of 11.6, and all the students' test grades in English had a mean of 61 and a standard deviation of 9.4 to answer the following questions.a) Calculate the z-score for Logan's test grade.z=z= [Round your answer to two decimal places.] b) Calculate the z-score for Brian's test grade.z=z= [Round your answer to two decimal places.]c) Which person did relatively better? Logan Brian They did equally well.
Suppose that Kim is a participant in a study that compares several coaching methods to see how they affect math Scholar Aptitude Test (SAT) scores. The grand mean of math SAT scores for all participants (My) in the study is 550. The group that Kim participated in had a mean math SAT score of 565. Kim’s individual score on the math SAT was 610. What was the estimate residual component (of Kim’s score, that is, the part of Kim’s score that was not related to the coaching method? (Both parts of this question call for specific numerical values as answers). What was that “effect” (ai) component of Kim's score? What pattern in grouped data would make SSwithin = 0? What pattern within data would make SSbetween = 0?
One personality test available on the World Wide Web has a subsection designed to assess the "honesty" of the test-taker. You are interested in the mean score, μ , among the general population on this subsection. The website reports that μ is 145, but you have good reason to believe that μ is less than 145. You decide to do a statistical test. You choose a random sample of people and have them take the personality test. You find that their mean score on the subsection is 139 and that the standard deviation of their scores is 28. Based on this information, complete the parts below. (a) What are the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis H1that should be used for the test? H0: H1: (b) Suppose that you decide to reject the null hypothesis. What sort of error might you be making? ▼(Choose one) (c) Suppose the true mean score among the general population on the subsection is 136. Fill in the blanks to describe a Type II error.
