PTC is a substance that has a strong bitter taste for some people and is tasteless for others. The ability to taste PTC isinherited and depends on a single gene that codes for a taste receptor on the tongue. Interestingly, although the PTC moleculeis not found in nature, the ability to taste it correlates strongly with the ability to taste other naturally occurring bittersubstances, many of which are toxins. About 75% of Italians can taste PTC.

Ms. Fit investigates whether children exhibit a higher number of prosocial acts after watching a 30-minute cartoon containing multiple prosocial acts in comparison to watching a 30-minute educational cartoon. Before watching the cartoon, children were matched on empathy (as rated by one of their parents) and then one of each pair was assigned to either the prosocial cartoon or the educational cartoon. The number of prosocial acts for the children was analyzed and resulted in the output below. Write a directional alternative hypothesis. Identify the IV, its levels, and its scale of measurement. Identify the DV and its scale of measurement. Identify one limitation in the design of this specific study (not just this type of design). Explain why it is a limitation and suggest how a future study could avoid it. What specific procedures should the research have followed to ensure that the study is ethical? Explain your answer.
Scenario: A researcher wants to study the effects of childhood stress, genetics, and their interaction for predicting aggression in adults. The researcher recruited 40 subjects, 20 reported they had no childhood stress and 20 reported they experienced severe childhood stress. The researcher is specifically interested in looking at the MAOA gene, because different versions of this gene are linked to aggression. The researcher conducts a genetic test and finds that half of subjects in each group have a gene for low MAOA activity and the other half have the gene for high MAOA activity. The researchers have the subjects self-rate their aggressive behavior over the last 6 months. 1. Given the scenario above, what are the null and alternative hypotheses? 2. Experimental design:a. What are the independent and dependent variables in this study? b. How many levels of each independent variable are there? c. What type of factorial ANOVA is this?
OSE 2 Researchers conducted a study to estimate the relationship between a subject's brain activity while watching a television commercial and subject's subsequent ability to recall the contents of commercials. People think that long commercial recall is remembered by the people compared with the short one. In order to understand the difference researcher made 10 long commercial and a short one for each products and commercials are watched by the same person. Then subjects are asked what they remembered from the commercial and giving the correct answers are codded by the following table. 1 2345678910 Long Commercial Recall 108668 9786 Short Commercial Recall 4 23444462 2 Ce Test the claim that long commercials recall is more than short one (The duration of the commercial make a difference to recall).

"A researcher investigated the short-term effect of including classical music on the standard relaxation therapy used in the treatment of smoking. The researcher investigated whether slow classical music when included with relaxation therapy has any significant effect on the behavior of smoking cigarettes. The slow classical music used with the therapy is the “Piano Concerto in A minor” by Edvard Grieg. A piano concerto is a type of concerto, a solo composition in the classical music genre, which is composed for a piano player and is typically accompanied by an orchestra or other large ensemble. Participants who smoked at least one pack of cigarettes a day (20 cigarettes in a pack) were randomly assigned to one of two groups. The participants in condition one received relaxation therapy that included classical music. The second condition consisted of participants who served as a control group and were given the same relaxation therapy but did not include the slow classical music. The…
A psychologist interested in animal learning conducts an experiment to determine the effect of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) on avoidance learning. Twenty 100-day-old male rats are randomly selected from the university vivarium for the experiment. Of the 20 chosen rats, 10 randomly chosen rats receive injections of ACTH 30 minutes before being placed in the avoidance situation. The other 10 rats received placebo injections. The number of trials for each animal to learn the task are listed below. Do NOT assume a normal distribution, and use α=0.05 to answer the questions below: ACTH Placebo 58 74 72 92 80 87 57 84 75 71 73 82 79 76 70 90 66 95 77 85 What inferential test is being conducted?

A new drug is being proposed for the treatment of migraine headaches. Unfortunately, some users in early tests of the drug have reported mild nausea as a side effect. The FDA will reject the drug if it thinks that more than 15% of the population would suffer from this side effect. In an experiment to test this side effect, 400 people who suffer from migraine headaches receive the new drug and 80 of them report nausea as a side effect. Determine if the FDA should reject the drug using 5% level of significance. Provide the test statistic, critical value, and a conclusion in the box below.
The Stanford University Heart Transplant Study was conducted to determine whether an experimental heart transplant program increased lifespan. Each patient entering the program was officially designated a heart transplant candidate, meaning that he was gravely ill and might benefit from a new heart. Patients were randomly assigned into a treatment and control groups. Patients in the treatment group received a transplant and those in the control group did not. The table below displays how many patients survived and died in each group. control treatment alive 4 24 dead 30 45 Explain why we cannot construct a confidence interval or a hypothesis test (hint: consider the conditions).
GENETICS AND FAST-TWITCH MUSCLES The gene ACTN3 encodes a protein that functions in fast-twitch muscles. People can be classified according to which genotype of this gene they have, RR, RX, or XX, and also according to which genetic allele they have, R or X. The study¹ described here, examines the association between this gene and different subgroups of the population. All participants in the study live in Australia. The earlier exercises only included the control group. Gender and ACTN3 Genotype We know that sprinters are more likely to have allele R and genotype RR versions of the ACTN3 gene, which makes these versions associated with fast-twitch muscles. Is there an association between genotype and gender? Computer output is shown for this chi- square test, using the control group in the study. In each cell, the top number is the observed count, the middle number is the expected count, and the bottom number is the contribution to the chi-square statistic. What is the p-value?…
The marketing research department of a large company knows that the company's monthly sales are influenced by the way in which it spends money on marketing. For example, monthly expenditures such as the ones listed below are known to have an effect on y, the company's total monthly sales (in millions of dollars). x = money spent on television advertising (in 1000's of dollars) X2 = money spent on promotion (i.e., free samples) x3 = money spent on newspaper advertising (in 1000's of dollars) X = average discounts offered to retail outlets (in %) Using data from the previous 26 months, the company decides to collect data on 3 of the independent variables to use in a multiple regression model for estimating monthly sales. If the R´ for this model is 0.5, fill in the missing entries in the ANOVA table associated with this model. Do all calculations to at least three decimal places.

Beryllium is an extremely lightweight metal that is used in many industries, such as aerospace and electronics. Long-term exposure to beryllium can cause people to become sensitized. Once an individual is sensitized, continued exposure can result in chronic beryllium disease, which involves scarring of the lungs. In a study of the effects of exposure to beryllium, workers were categorized by their duration of exposure (in years) and by their disease status (diseased, sensitized, or normal). The results were as follows: Duration of Exposure <1 1 to <5 ≥5 Diseased 14 13 18 Sensitized 11 20 15 Normal 78 140 209 Test the hypothesis of independence. Use the a=0.10 level of significance and the P-value method with the TI-84 Plus calculator. What do you conclude? State the null and alternate hypotheses.
Some people seem to believe that you can fix anything with duct tape. Even so, many were skeptical when researchers announced that duct tape may be a more effective and less painful alternative than liquid nitrogen, which doctors routinely use to freeze warts. An article described a study conducted at a medical center. Patients with warts were randomly assigned to either the duct tape treatment or the more traditional freezing treatment. Those in the duct tape group wore duct tape over the wart for 6 days, then removed the tape, soaked the area in water, and used an emery board to scrape the area. This process was repeated for a maximum of 2 months or until the wart was gone. Data consistent with values in the article are summarized in the following table. Number with Wart Treatment Successfully Removed Liquid nitrogen freezing 103 60 Duct Tape 100 88 A USE SALT Do these data suggest that freezing is less successful than duct tape in removing warts?
