Random assignment Researchers recruited 20 volunteers—8 men and 12 women to take part in an experiment involving a new drug and a placebo. They randomly assigned the subjects into two groups of 10 people each. To their surprise, 6 of the 8 men were randomly assigned to the new drug treatment. Should they be surprised? Find the probability that the random assignment would put 6 men in the new drug treatment group purely by chance.

A group of 50,000 tax forms has an average gross income of $37,000, with an SD of about $20,000. Furthermore, 20% of the forms have a gross income over $50,000.

You are doing research on balance and fitness. To complete this research you will need a watch with a second hand. Identify a random sample of n = 12 men and n = 8 women. You must answer this question: How do you establish that this sample is truly random? Have each subject perform the following task: Have the subjects stand with their hands at their side, raise one knee, cross their ankle over the other knee, squat and bring their hands palms together in front of their chest. Time the subject until they put their foot back down on the floor. b) Ask the following questions: i) How many days per week do they exercise? ii) What is their favorite exercise? You will analyze your data and compute the following statistics for each group: 1) The Mean and standard deviation of the number of seconds the subject stayed balanced 2) The Median number of days per week exercised 3) The Mode of the favorite exercise 4) The 90% confidence interval of the mean Construct a complete…
A study was performed to test eyewitness accuracy. Ten pairs of participants entered a room believing they would be participating in a gambling experiment. Each participant was given $10 in coins to play poker with. The participants were randomly seated near the door or away from the door. After 15 minutes, an actor dressed in street clothes burst into the room and stole the money from the participant near the door. The “thief” was later caught, and both participants (the victim and the witness) were asked to identify him in a line-up. Eyewitness accuracies from the participants were then compared. The ten victims reported a mean accuracy of 31.5 (SD = 21). The witnesses had a mean accuracy of 52.2 (SD = 19.5). Was there a difference? What was the effect size of eyewitness accuracy? Show the nul and alternative hypthoesis, aplhpa level 0.05 and test the null hypothtesis and draw the rejctin line, conclusion and effect size
