The Psychic Friends Network (PFN) received telephone calls in 1999 from over 1.5 million people. A journal article attempted to shed some light onto the credibility of the PFN. One of the psychic friends' psychics agreed to take part in the following experiment. 10 cards are shown to the "psychic" then shuffled, and one is chosen at random. The psychic will then try to identify which card was drawn without seeing it. Assume that the experiment was repeated 15 times and that the results of any two experiments are independent of one another. Step 1 of 4: If we assume that the psychic is a fake (i.e, they are merely guessing at the cards and have no psychic powers), how many of the 15 cards do we expect the psychic to guess correctly? (Round your answer to the nearest integer)
In each of the examples that follow, determine what value the random variable would assign to the specific outcome listed. You have some number of coins in your pocket, and you choose two at random. The random variable ZZ assigns the value of the coins in cents to each outcome. What value is assigned when you draw out a quarter and a dime? A coin is flipped three times. YY is a random variable that assigns 3 times the number of heads flipped minus 2 times the number of tails flipped. What number is assigned to HHT? A person picks a number between 1 and 272820. The random variable ZZ assigns the 0 to an even number and 1 to an odd number. What number is assigned to 270221?
Use the following information to answer the next four problems: In an experiment, 1919 babies were asked to watch a climber attempt to ascend a hill. On two occasions, the baby witnesses the climber fail to make the climb. Then, the baby witnesses either a helper toy push the climber up the hill, or a hinderer toy preventing the climber from making the ascent. The toys were shown to each baby in a random fashion. A second part of this experiment showed the climber approach the helper toy, which is not a surprising action, and then the climber approached the hinderer toy, which is a surprising action. The amount of time the baby watched the event was recorded. The mean difference in time spent watching the climber approach the hinderer toy versus watching the climber approach the helper toy was 105 seconds with a standard deviation of 195 seconds. State the null and alternative hypotheses to determine if babies tend to look at the hinderer toy longer than the helper toy. Let…
The P&G marketing team has created two potential slogans for the new Smile toothpaste. The uplifting slogan is, “Smile when you buy Smile!”. The serious slogan is, “Buy Smile to keep your smile.” Before deciding which slogan to use, the marketing team runs an experiment to see how individuals respond to these two slogans. The marketing team recruits 46 people to participate in this experiment, randomly assigning 24 participants to read the uplifting slogan and 22 participants to read the serious slogan. After reading the slogans, all participants rate how likely they are to buy the new Smile toothpaste on a scale from 1 (definitely will NOT purchase) to 10 (definitely will purchase). The group of participants who read the uplifting slogan has a mean score of 6.67, with a sum of squares of 323. The group of participants who read the serious slogan has a mean score of 4.77, with a sum of squares of 221. Do participants who read the uplifting slogan versus the serious slogan differ…

For Parts A, B, and C, use the experiment below. Show all work. Two fair six-sided dice are rolled. Part A: How many outcomes are in the sample space of the experiment? Part B: What is the probability the sum of the two dice will be greater than or equal to 10? Part C: Laura and Bethany want to decide who fills the car with gasoline for their upcoming trip. Laura will fill the car if the sum of the dice is greater than or equal to 10, and Bethany will fill the car if the sum of the dice is less than 5 If the sum of the dice is any other value, the result is discarded. Does this method provide a fair way to decide who fills the car with gasoline? Provide a supporting explanation.
Maddie conducts a study to see if listening to music helps students learn math. She surveys a random sample of 250 college sophomores who completed a math class within the past six months. She asks them to indicate how frequently they listened to music while studying math. The students also report their final grade in the math class at the end of the semester. Select the statement below that is false. There is no placebo in this study. Maddie conducted an observational study. A confounding variable could be how often the participants studied math. The population Maddie studied was 250 college sophomores.
A psychologist wanta to determine the effect of relaxing music on a person's reaction to a stressful event. Participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups. A participant was brought into a room with no windows and only one door. In the background, either soft classical music, or no music at all was playing. After a set amount of time, a fire alarm went off, and smoke started to come from under the door. A hidden video camera records the participants behavior that is later scored by the experimenter for level of panic from 0-100. Which statistical test would be best to determine if there is a significant difference between groups? One sample t test Dependent samples t test Independent t test ANOVA
