A school Psychologist is interested in the effect of violent television programs on a child's agression depending on if the show is a cartoon or not. Eighty children were recruited and were divided into equal groups. Half of the children watched a violent television program while the other half watched a non- violent program. Half of the children watched a cartoon while the other half watched a show that was not a cartoon. The children were then placed in a small group and the researcher measured the level of agressiveness of each child.

not A 1995 study by the School of Public Health reported that 87% of male students who live in a fraterity house are binge drinkers. The figure for fraternity members who are residents of a fraternity house is 71 %, while the figure for men who do not belong to a fraternity is 44 % Suppose that 11% of U.S. male students live in a fraternity house, 15% belong to a fraterity but do not live in a fraterity house, and 74% do not belong to a fraterity a. What is the probability that a randomly selected malp student is a binge drinker? b. If a randomly selected male student is a binge drinker, what is the probability that he lives in a fraterity house? The probability that a randomly selected male student is a binge drinker is 0.5509 (Type an integer or a decimal rounded to two decimal places as needed) CETTE
Practice question #3 Investigators want to know if those who work long hours have more trouble sleeping. In one sample of 190 British civil servants who worked more than 40 hours a week, 95 of them said they usually get less than 7 hours of sleep per night. In a second sample of 150 British civil servants who worked between 35 and 40 hours per week, 63 of them said they usually get less than 7 hours of sleep per night. The investigators believe these are represent samples of the populations. Find a 95% Confidence Interval for the difference in proportions of these two populations that get less than 7 hours of sleep per night. Then interpret the confidence interval. Be sure to check that any necessary conditions are met first. Round final answers to 3 decimal places. Verify conditions are appropriate for method: Interval: ________________________ Does the interval contain zero? __________ What does this information lead you to conclude?
Large companies typically collect volumes of data before designing a product, not only to gain information as to whether the product should be released, but also to pinpoint which markets would be the best targets for the product. Several months ago, I was interviewed by such a company while shopping at a mall. I was asked about my exercise habits and whether or not I'd be interested in buying a video/DVD designed to teach stretching exercises. I fall into the male, 18 - 35-years-old category, and I guessed that, like me, many males in that category would not be interested in a stretching video. My friend Holly falls in the female, older-than-35 category, and I was thinking that she might like the stretching video. After being interviewed, I looked at the interviewer's results. Of the 94 people in my market category who had been interviewed, 14 said they would buy the product, and of the 108 people in Holly's market category, 34 said they would buy it. Assuming that these data came…
State and explain the significance of the three basic principles of experimental design.
According to a job website, each job opening on average attracted 250 résumés in 2016. The job market improved in 2017 compared to 2016, which means that more people will likely be switching jobs but also fewer unemployed workers remain in the job market. To find out which trend is stronger, a random sample of 20 employers in a region was taken. Each employer reported how many résumés they received in 2017 for each job opening. Their answers are shown in the accompanying table. Using a = 0.05, complete parts a through d. Click the icon to view the data on résumés received. a. State the null and alternative hypotheses. Determine the null hypothesis, Ho, and the alternative hypothesis, H₁. Ho: H₁: (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.)

Many golfers wear wrist bracelets containing magnets because they claim the magnets improve balance and the length of shots played off the tee. A golfer would like to determine if the claim has merit and finds 200 volunteers who play golf to participate in an experiment. Half of the golfers are randomly assigned to wear a bracelet with magnets, while the other half wear a bracelet without magnets. Each golfer plays normally for a month, after which the length of their shots in a subsequent round is recorded. What is the response variable in this experiment? the age of each golfer the 200 volunteers the length of shots played by the golfers whether the golfers wear or do not wear the bracelet
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).

Some people seem to believe that you can fix anything with duct tape. Even so, many were skeptical when researchers announced that duct tape may be a more effective and less painful alternative than liquid nitrogen, which doctors routinely use to freeze warts. An article described a study conducted at a medical center. Patients with warts were randomly assigned to either the duct tape treatment or the more traditional freezing treatment. Those in the duct tape group wore duct tape over the wart for 6 days, then removed the tape, soaked the area in water, and used an emery board to scrape the area. This process was repeated for a maximum of 2 months or until the wart was gone. Data consistent with values in the article are summarized in the following table. Number with Wart Treatment Successfully Removed Liquid nitrogen freezing 103 60 Duct Tape 100 88 A USE SALT Do these data suggest that freezing is less successful than duct tape in removing warts? Test the relevant hypotheses using a…
Show all your work. Indicate clearly the methods you use, because you will be scored on the correctness of your methods as well as on the accuracy and completeness of your results and explanations. Patients experiencing symptoms of a heart attack are routinely transported to a hospital in an ambulance. In a study of a new treatment thought to reduce damage to the heart, patients experiencing symptoms of a heart attack were randomly assigned to one of two groups. During transportation to the hospital, patients in one group received standard care, and patients in the other group received the new treatment consisting of standard care and the application of a blood pressure cuff. The response variable measured for each patient was a number between 0 and 1, referred to as the myocardial salvage index (MSI). A higher MSI value indicates a more positive outcome for the patient. Summary statistics for the MSI responses of the two groups are shown in the table below. Do the data provide…
