There appears to be some evidence suggesting that earlier retirement may lead to memory decline (Rohwedder & Willis, 2010). The researchers gave a memory test to men and women aged 60 to 64 years in several countries that have different retirement ages. For each country, the researchers recorded the average memory score and the percentage of individuals in the 60-64 range who were retired. Note that a higher percentage retired indicates a younger retirement age for that country. The following data are similar to the results from the study. Use the data to find the regression equation for predicting memory scores from the percentage of people aged 60 to 64 who are retired. Country % Retired Memory Score (X) (Y) Sweden 39 9.3 U.S.A. 48 10.9 England 59 10.7 Germany 70 9.1 Spain 74 6.4 Netherlands 78 9.1 Italy 81 7.2 France 87 7.9 Belgium 88 8.5 Austria 91 9.0

A study was conducted to determine whether big-city and small-town dwellers differed in their helpfulness to strangers. In this study, the investigators rang the doorbells of strangers living in a large City or small towns in the vicinity. They explained they had misplaced the address of a friend living in the neighbourhood and asked to use the phone. The following data show the number of individuals who admitted or did not admit the strangers (the investigators) into their homes: Helpfulness to strangers Admitted strangers into their home Didnot admit strangers into their home Big city dwellers 60 90 Small town dwellers 70 30 State the dependent and independent variable Is this a directional or non directional
A teaching assistant for a psychology course is curious about what factors are associated with higher final grades in the course. She finds that students who read the textbook tend to have higher final grades in the course. She finds that students who watch the lecture videos tend to have higher final grades in the course. Lastly, she finds that students who read the textbook and watch the lecture videos tend to have the highest grades in the course. Assuming that any difference is statistically significant, which of the following best characterizes these results? 1 main effect and O interaction effects 1 main effect and 1 interaction effect O main effects and O interaction effects 2 main effects and 1 interaction effect O main effects and 1 interaction effect 2 main effects and O interaction effects

Students at a major university in Southern California are complaining about a serious housing crunch. They are stating that many of the university's students have to commute too far to school because there is not enough housing near campus. The university officials' response is to perform a study.

A father is concerned that his teenage son is watching too much television each day, since his son watches an average of 2 hours per day His son says that his TV habits are no different than those of his friends. Since this father has taken a stats class, he knows that can actually test to see whether or not his son is watching more TV than his peers The father collects a random sample of watching times from boys at his son's high school and gets the following data: 1.9, 2.3, 2.2, 1.9, 1.6, 2.6, 1.4, 2.0, 2.0, 2.2 Find a 95% confidence interval for the true mean number of hours teenagers at that school watch TV. a.

A Journal published longitudinal study of hearing impairment in a group of elderly patients with intellectual disabilities. The hearing function of each patient was screened each year over a 10 - year period. At the study's conclusion, the hearing loss of each patient was categorized as severe, moderate, mild, or none. The classification of the 28 surviving patients are summarized in the following table. Hearing loss Number of Patients None 7 Mild 7 Moderate 9 Severe 5 Total 28 Conduct a test to determine whether the trueproportions of intellectually disabled elderly patients in each ofthe hearing-loss categories differ. Use a 5% significance level. We are doing this on a Ti84 plus Calculator.
An auditor for a local court system is tasked with comparing the rulings of two judges. The auditor needs to determine if Judge Hughes issues shorter sentences than Judge Wilson. The data below are the sentence lengths, in months, issued by each judge in their last twelve cases that dealt with operating a motor vehicle without a license. Test the claim that Judge Hughes issues shorter sentences than Judge Wilson for this particular type of case at the 0.05 level of significance. Let Judge Hughes' sentences be Population 1 and let Judge Wilson's sentences be Population 2. Assume that both populations are approximately normal and that the population variances are equal.

A researcher uses matched-subjects design to investigate whether single people with pets vary in their happiness level compared to singles without pets. A mood inventory survey is given to a group of 20- to 29-year-old non-pet owners and a similar age group of pet owners. The pet owners are matched one to one with the non-pet owners for income, number of close friendships, and general health. Is there a significant difference in the mood scores for non-pet owners versus pet owners. Test with a =.05 for two tails.
his question refers to excavations at a national monument. One question the archaeologists asked was: Is raw material used by prehistoric Indians for stone tool manufacture independent of the archaeological excavation site?

A team of epidemiologists at the Mayo Clinic wanted to find whether there is an association between obesity and cardiovascular disease (CVD). They conducted a prospective cohort study following obese and non-obese individuals who were free of CVD at the beginning of study for five years.
