ruggling is normal and part of the process of learning. Describe an instance, so far in this course, where you struggled with a problem or concept, and initially had the wrong idea, but then later realized your error. In this instance, in what ways was a struggle or mistake valuable to your eventual understanding? You might also discuss whether struggling built aspects of character in you (e.g., endurance, self-confidence, competence to solve new problems) and how these virtues might benefit you in later ventures. Explain in a few sentences.
We've studied two different basic types of research studies, Observational Studies and Experiments. They have similarities and differences in their methodologies, and in some cases it is not practical nor ethical to design a study one way or the other. And this affects the kinds of conclusions the research can ultimately reach. This discussion is designed for students to help each other build a complete understanding, and clearly separate these as two distinct concepts. Discuss the similarities and differences between these, as well as the research conclusions to which they can possibly lead.
You are the Brand Manager for Crisco, the leading brand of cooking medium (both cooking oil and shortening). You have been searching for ways to reduce the brand’s reliance on price promotion and you think you have found a winner: NASCAR, the major league stock car auto racing circuit. NASCAR fans are extremely loyal to their sponsors and the sport is not only a major event in your best business areas, but it is the only major league sport that is enjoying strong growth. Your management chain, however, still thinks of NASCAR as “good old boys”—with the emphasis on boys…and your target audience is largely female. After two years, you finally have received agreement to a test of the proportion of women in the NASCAR audience, as represented by media (TV and radio). If you can demonstrate, as NASCAR claims, that the NASCAR audience is no less than 40 per cent female, management will agree to let you sponsor a NASCAR race team next year. If not, you will have to devote the same…
The research department at a manufacturing company has developed a new process that it believes will result in an improved product. Management must decide whether to go ahead and market the new product. The new product may or may not be better than the old one. If the new product is better and the company decides to market it, sales should increase by $70,000. If it is not better and they replace the old product with the new product on the market, they will lose $25,000 to competitors. If they decide not to market the new product, they will lose a total of $60,000 if it is better and just research costs of $20,000 if it is not. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. (a) Prepare a payoff matrix. □ (Type an integer or decimal for each matrix element. Do not include the $ symbol in your answer.)
A serious side effect of allergy medicines is that they cause drowsiness, which can cause many problems for the individuals taking them. In recent years, a new non-drowsy allergy medicine has been developed. The company that created the medicine claims to be the first, once-a-day, non-drowsy allergy medicine (call it Medicine A). An independent research group wanted to check on this claim by comparing medicine A with another allergy medicine not advertised as non-drowsy (call it Medicine B). A random sample of 3,193 allergy sufferers was selected and each individual was randomly assigned to take either Medicine A or Medicine B. From the Medicine A group, 114 of 1,604 reported drowsiness and from the Medicine B group, 155 of 1,589 reported drowsiness. Calculate and label the two sample proportions separately. Next, calculate the difference between these sample proportions by subtracting (Medicine A – Medicine B). Complete these calculations by hand, label each of them, and…
Formulate but do not solve the problem.In a survey of 1000 adults aged 18 and older, the following question was posed: "Are other travelers' online reviews trustworthy?" The participants were asked to answer "yes," "no," or "not sure." The survey revealed that 310 answered "no" or "not sure." It also showed that the number of those who answered "yes" exceeded the number of those who answered "no" by 400. What percentage of respondents answered "yes," "no," and "not sure"? (Let x represent the number of respondents who answered "yes", y represent the number of respondents who answered "no", and z represent the number of respondents who answered "not sure".) = 1000 = 310 = 400

Psychologists Erik Erikson suggested that individuals go through eight developmental stages of life. Erikson believed that at stage 8 (age 65 to death), an adult's fear of death can be predicted by the satisfaction they feel when reflecting back on their lives. To investigate, a psychiatrist interviewed a random sample of adults age 65 and older, and scored them on their satisfaction with their lives and their fear of death. The psychiatrist wants to confirm Erikson's theory. What can be concluded with a = 0.01? fear of death satisfied 4 3 4 2 2 10 3 2 4 7 3 4 8. 4 a) Select and compute the appropriate statistic. ---Select--- b) Input the appropriate value(s) to make a decision about Ho. p-value X ; Decision: Fail to reject H0 v c) Using the SPSS results, compute the corresponding effect size(s) and indicate magnitude(s).
