Question Two It can be said that some professions/jobs come with more stress. This stress is sometimes carried over into family life, so much so that things can become unbearable at home. A researcher who is interested in such an issue decided to collect data on the level of rage/edginess towards family members. Participants were asked to rank the level of hostility they think they have been exerting towards family members due to their job. The resulting data is presented below. *11 is the highest level of hostility. Level of hostility Number of professionals 0-1 23 11 4-5 6-7 20 8-9 25 10-11 12 a. Calculate the following i. mean il mode i, standard deviation

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?
A scientist wants to examine factors that may be related to cancer. The scientist believes that differences in age at death that will be found when determining what type of smoker a person was (pipe smoker, cigar smoker, cigarette smoker, or nonsmoker) but he also thinks it is important to consider the extent of smog in the person’s environment. For this new extended study, the people in the sample are divided up into those who lived in areas with heavy smog and those who lived in areas that were relatively free from smog. Smoking habit remains the other independent variable, and the dependent variable remains age at death. The new question of major interest to the scientist is whether the pattern of differences in age at death attributed to smoking habits would be influenced by whether people lived in smog-filled environments. What is the appropriate statistic? a. Dependent groups t-test b. Phi Coefficient c. Point Biserial r d. t-test for r > 0…
Your statistics instructor often ponders the relationship between commute time and job satisfaction while driving back and forth to campus. Your instructor hypothesizes that people with a shorter commute time will have higher degrees of job satisfaction. Randomly sampling 600 Valley commuters, the instructor finds the following data listed in frequencies: Table 2: Commuters by Length of Commute and Job Satisfaction Job Satisfaction Number Who Commute 20 Minutes or Less Number Who Commute 21 to 40 Minutes Number Who Commute 41 Minutes or More Total Number for Each Level of Job Satisfaction Dissatisfied 10 60 140 210 Neutral 45 59 51 155 Satisfied 145 60 30 235 Total Number for Each Commute Time Range 200 179 221 1.

The accompanying table gives amounts of arsenic in samples of brown rice from three different states. The amounts are in micrograms of arsenic and all samples have the same serving size. The data are from the Food and Drug Administration. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the three samples are from populations with the same mean. Do the amounts of arsenic appear to be different in the different states? Given that the amounts of arsenic in the samples from Texas have the highest mean, can we conclude that brown rice from Texas poses the greatest health problem? Click the icon to view the data.

Page 160 #17 We predict that children exhibit more aggressive act after watching a violent television show. The scores for ten children were recorded before they watched a violent show and then after they watched a violent show. Aggression was measured in terms of number of aggressive acts (e.g. hitting, yelling, kicking etc). Sample 1 (after TV show): 5,6,4,4,7,3,2,1,4,1 Sample 2 (before TV show): 4,6,3,2,4,1,0,0,5,2 Is this a one-tailed or two-tailed test?
A researcher hypothesizes that different colors of cars result in different average speeds. To test this claim, she took a random sample of 20 people who own 4 different colors of colors of cars (n = 20, N = 80, G = 4), and she then tracks their average speed on the highway for a week of driving. The following ANOVA table has some of her results. Please help her answer her research questions by completing the following ANOVA table below and answering the follow-up questions.

Describe a study in which you can use both nonparametric and parametric statistics. A researcher has participants expecting to receive either painful or mild electrical shocks during a study wait in a quarter-full waiting room with other participants. He then measures whether they choose to sit next to other participants or if they sit far away on their own. What is the best test to run for this study and why?
Professor Rouge wants to see if the color red increases people's attraction. For all participants, she shows them someone in a red shirt, someone in a blue shirt, and someone in a green shirt - and the participant rates each person from 1-10 in terms of their attractiveness. The data that she collected are below. Conduct the appropriate statistic in order to test her hypothesis. Include calculations of the effect size. Report your findings in a brief paragraph (a complete paragraph, like the one from class) and include the two tables that we did in class.

You are examining two data sets involving test scores, set A and set B. The score 96 appears in both data sets. In which of the following data sets does 96 represent a higher score? Explain.(a) The percentile rank of 96 is higher in set B than in set A. A. 96 represents a higher score in Set A because a larger percentage of scores fall below 96 in set A.B. 96 represents a higher score in Set B because a larger percentage of scores fall below 96 in set B. C. 96 represents an equivalent score in both sets because an equal percentage of scores fall below 96 in both sets.D. It is impossible to tell in which set 96 represents a higher score because a percentage depends on the number of test scores in the set, which is unknown. (b) The mean is 90 in both data sets, but set A has a higher standard deviation.A. 96 represents a higher score in Set A because 96 is more standard deviations above the mean.B. 96 represents a higher score in Set B because 96 is more standard deviations above the…
Two social scientists wanted to know if more violent crimes are committed when the temperature goes up. They measured the high temperature for each day during the year in Atlanta and compared the temperature for that day to the Police Department’s report for the number of violent crimes for that day. What statistical test should they use to analyze the data? a. Paired t-test b. Correlation c. One Way ANOVA d. Independent Samples t-test e. Chi Square Test of Independence
