sports psychologist tests a new coaching method and finds that of the 43 novice athletes who were trained under the new method, they only froze/choked when in high stakes competition 3.5% of the time. If it is known that all novice athletes tend to freeze/choke 6% of the time when in high stakes competition (with a 3.2% average variation from the mean), What is your point estimate for how often all novice athletes would choke if trained under the new method?

A health educator wants to evaluate the effect of a dental film on the frequency with which children brush their teeth. A random selection of 8 children is used for the experiment. First, a baseline of the number of times the children brush their teeth over a month’s period is established. Next, the children are shown the dental film and again the number of teeth brushings are recorded for a month. The following data are recorded: Subject 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 After Film 28 29 25 30 25 27 28 24 Baseline 25 28 22 30 26 24 25 22 What is the nondirectional alternative hypothesis? df = ∑ D2 = __ Dobt = µD = SSD =
Read the scenario below to determine which one of the time threats to internal validity (test reactivity, instrumentation, history, and maturation) is of most concern, and provide one way to control for the threat. A researcher examines students' perception of their body image by conducting a 2-year longitudinal study of middle-school students (grades 6 - 8). Body image is measured using a scale and the same scale is measured under the same conditions at the beginning and end of the study.

You are a sales manager for a grocery store, and you want to see if the introduction of a new sales promotion will increase the sales in your store. To do so, you decided to create an experiment by giving a small sample of customers the promotion before expanding it to a larger customer base. You gave 18 people the promotion, and also observed the sales of 27 people who did not get the promotion as a control group. You found those who received the promotion to have an average monthly sales of $456.60, with a sample standard deviation of $52.23. You found those who did not receive the promotion had an average monthly sales of $361.46, with a sample standard deviation of $56.11. Suppose you want to use hypothesis testing (two-sample test) to investigate if the promotion has increased the sales of your store. Using the order promotion no promotion in your hypothesis test, what is the value of the test statistic for your analysis? Note: 1- Only round your final answer. Round your final…
Recent research indicates that the effectiveness of antidepressant medication is directly related to the severity of the depression (Khan, Brodhead, Kolts & Brown, 2005). Based on pretreatment depression scores, patients were divided into four groups based on their level of depression. After receiving the antidepressant medication, depression scores were measured again and the amount of improvement was recorded for each patient. The following data are similar to the results of the study. Low High Moderate Moderate Moderately Severe Severe 0 2.6 2.7 2.7 1.7 2.5 3.2 3.3 2.2 3 3.2 5.2 0.6 1.8 3.8 1.5 1.9 1.9 3.8 5.9 1.3 1.2 2.4 2.9 From this table, conduct an one-way ANOVA.

Hellen has just started a new years competition for her local climbing gym. There are two categories for this competition: singles and group (18 people). The rules are simple, put in the most hours in one months time and you get a guided tour to climb Ten Sleep canyon. She knows from running this competition over the years that the number of hours climbers at her gym spend training during this competiton is approximately normal and their mean competition hours per month in the gym are 24 hrs with a standard devaition of 6 hrs If someone puts in between 25.5-32.1 hours on the wall they get a Mountain Goat shirt. What percent of the singles competitors is expected to get a shirt? In the group stage this year the winning group was in the 81 th percentile. What was their average time? The group stage is up for getting Gecko Socks if they also land between 25.5-32.1 hours on the wall on average. What prercent of the groups are expected to qualify for the socks?
People tend to evaluate the quality of their lives to others around them. In a demonstration of this phenomenon, Frieswijk, Buunk, Steverink, and Slaets (2004) conducted interviews with frail elderly people. In the interview, each person was compared with fictitious others who were worse off. After the interviews, the elderly people reported more satisfaction with their own lives. Following are hypothetical data similar to those obtained in the research study. The scores are measures of a life-satisfaction scale for a sample of n=9 elderly people who completed the interview. Assume that the average score on this scale is u=20. Are the data sufficient to conclude that the people in this sample are significantly more satisfied than others in the general population? Use a one-tailed test with a=0.05. The life satisfaction scores are 18, 23, 24, 22, 19, 27, 23, 26, 25. Do the 4-step procedure to know your answer. You can answer either a "Yes" or "No". Answer:

A child psychologist believe that controlled physical outbursts of anger (like punching a pillow) may improve the mood of young boys with emotional impairment. He believes that the proportion of boys who benefit from the treatment is greater than the proportion of girls. A random sample from each population receives counseling in the treatment and is asked about their mood after an episode (x is the number of test subjects that reported an improvement in mood). The results of the study are summarized in the table below. Boys n1 = 200 Girls n2 = 210 %3D %3D X1 = 35 X2 = 28 Blank #1: Find the two sample proportions, reporting each as a decimal, rounded to two decimal places. Do the initial (untested) findings show what the researcher expected? Enter your answer as a list of 3 items: P1, P2, yes or no. Do not add any extra spaces and pay attention to rounding. For example, a valid answer may look like .52,.14,yes or .25,.50,no. Untested, you compared them but you could have done that…
