Suppose your statistics professor reports test grades as z-scores, and you got a score of 1.90 on an exam. a) Write a sentence explaining what that means. b) Your friend got a z-score of negative 2 . If the grades satisfy the Nearly Normal Condition, about what percent of the class scored lower than your friend?

ReAb. a question can influence eyewitness memory. In the study, college students watched a film of ap automobile accident and then were asked questions about what they saw. One group was asked, "About how fast were the cars going when they smashed into each other?" Another group was asked the same question except the verb was changed to "hit" in- stead of "smashed into." The "smashed into" group reported significantly higher estimates of speed than the "hit" group. Suppose a researcher repeats this study with a sample of today's college students and obtains the following results. Estimated Speed Smashed into Hit n 15 n = 15 M = 40.8 M = 34.0 SS = 510 SS = 414 a. Do the results indicate a significantly higher esti- mated speed for the "smashed into" group? Use a one-tailed test with a = .01. b. Compute the estimated value for Cohen's d to measure the size of the effect. the hypothesis test and the measure of effect size would appear in a research report. nort higher 18. In and a classic
A researcher conducts a study comparing anxiety levels in teens based on their social media usage. Teens with higher scores on the anxiety measure are considered more anxious. Below is a table made from their results. Briefly interpret the results by explaining both descriptive and inferential statistics identified.
A researcher has found a strong relationship between level of education and income and concludes that “higher levels of education cause higher income.” What error has been made?

Express the alternative hypothesis in symbolic form. A psychologist claims that the mean amount of time (in hours) that females spend in talk therapy is more than that of men. Assume that two samples are independent. Let the female talk therapy times be the first population and the male talk therapy times be the second population.

In a city with three high schools, all the ninth graders took a Standardized Test, with these results: High School Mean Test Score Number of ninth graders (Frequency) Glenwood 79 279 Central 94 349 Lincoln 70 161 The city's PR manager, who never took statistics, claimed the mean score of all ninth graders in the city was the average of 79, 94, and 70, which is 81. Of course, that is incorrect. What is the mean score for all ninth graders in the city? Round to one decimal place. Mean of all ninth grader's Scores =

A new treatment is discovered that improves survival probability from 85 to 95 percent. Discuss the different ways a researcher might look at these results versus the way that the marketing department might discuss them. What is the difference in the way you would view new treatment that improves survival probability by the same absolute magnitude, say, from 5 to 15 percent?
