In an early study of the effects of frustration on feelings of hostility, Miller and Bugelski (1948) had a group of boys at a camp rate their attitudes toward two groups (Mexicans and Japanese). The campers then participated in a long, difficult, frustrating testing session that kept them away from their weekly movie. Finally the boys again rated their attitudes towards the minority groups. The scores below represent the number of unfavorable traits attributed to minorities and are similar to those of miller and Bugelski.

Strack, Martin, and Stepper (1988) reported that people rate cartoons as funnier when holding a pen in their teeth (which forced them to smile) than when holding a pen in their lips (which forced them to frown). A researcher attempted to replicate this result using a sample of adults between the ages of 40 and 45. For each person, the researcher recorded the difference between the rating obtained while smiling and the rating obtained while frowning. On average the cartoons were rated as funnier when the participants were smiling, with an average difference of with . Do the data indicate that the cartoons are rated significantly funnier when the participants are smiling? Use a one-tailed test with . Compute to measure the size of the treatment effect. Write a sentence describing the outcome of the hypothesis test and the measure of effect size as it would appear in a research report.
Harwood and Naylor (1969) wondered whether visual memory changes with age. A standardized test shows that when young adults (mean age 24 years) have learned to recognize 20 line drawings of common objects, they recognize about 75% of these in a surprise test four weeks later. Harwood and Naylor conducted the same experiment with a random sample of older adults from Montreal, a second random sample of older adults from Maberly, and a third random sample of older adults from Aylmer. The researchers recorded the percentage of recognized drawings (on the surprise test) for each older participant. The data for this question is below. Use this data to answer the following question: determine zalpha/2 for 81% confidence interval around d for the data collected in Maberly.. please give the answer to 5 decimal places. 58 75 78 82 75 82 70 62 75 72 58 68 60 67 60 51 66 54 81 71 61 62 71 72 71 80 69 47 68 75 64 55 82 66
A random sample of n1 = 157 people ages 16 to 19 were taken from the island of Oahu, Hawaii, and 12 were found to be high school dropouts. Another random sample of n2 = 129 people ages 16 to 19 were taken from Sweetwater County, Wyoming, and 6 were found to be high school dropouts. Do these data indicate that the population proportion of high school dropouts on Oahu is different (either way) from that of Sweetwater County? Use a 1% level of significance. (a) What is the level of significance? (b)What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Test the difference p1 − p2. Do not use rounded values. Round your final answer to two decimal places.)

To examine the effect of relaxing music on math test performance, a researcher wants to compare the average math test scores of participants who completed the test with relaxing music to performance of participants who completed the same math test without music. The partially computed data collected in the study are shown below: Math Test with Music:         Math Test without Music: n1 = 16                                     n2 = 12 M1 = 82                                    M2 = 78 SS1 = 150                                 SS2 = 140 Based on these results, is there a significant effect of relaxing music on math test performance?

In a survey of working parents (both parents working), one of the questions asked was "Have you refused a job, promotion, or transfer because it would mean less time with your family?" 410410 men and 410410 women were asked this question. 26%26% of the men and 19%19% of the women responded "Yes". Based on this survey, can it be concluded that there is a difference in the proportion of men ( p1p1 ) and women ( p2p2 ) responding "Yes"? Use a significance level of α=0.05α=0.05 for the test. Step 3 of 5 :   Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places.
