You and your friend are debating which type of candy is the best. You find data on the average rating for hard candy (e.g. jolly ranchers, X = 3.60), chewable candy (e.g. starburst, X=4.20), and chocolate (e.g. snickers, X : 4.40); each type of candy was rated by 30 people. Test for differences in average candy rating using SSB = 16.18 and SSW = 28.74. %3D

A new cream was developed to reduce the irritation caused by poison ivy. To test the effectiveness, researchers placed an ad online asking for volunteers to participate in the study. One hundred subjects replied and were informed that one group would receive the new cream and the other group would Which of the following accurately describes the benefit of comparison in the experiment? O The overall level of irritation can be compared to see if the new cream had a significant effect. O The level of irritation for both groups can be receive a cream with no active ingredient. All 100 subjects were exposed to poison ivy. Fifty were then randomly assigned to the group with the new cream, and 50 were randomly assigned to the group with the cream with no active ingredient. After three days, the subjects' level of irritation was measured. compared to see if the new cream had a significant effect.

Dr. Guidry conducts a study examining the relationship between the number of friends one has and the experience of daily stress and life satisfaction. She randomly samples 1,500 elderly men and women in Nashville, Tennessee (the state capital), located in the southern United States. Below are her findings.• Life satisfaction and experience of daily stress: r = .57 (p = .01)• Number of friends one has and experience of daily stress: r = .09, not sig.• Number of friends one has and life satisfaction: r = .36 (p = .04) In determining whether the relationship between two of Dr. Guidry’s variables was statistically significant, which of the following must be considered? a. Sample size and number of variables analyzed b. Direction of the association and strength of the association c. Sample size and effect size d. The number of outliers and the direction of the association Answer is C. But why? Why,b,c,d are wrong?
In a study looking at undergraduate students’ perceptions of sense of community at their university, a researcher hypothesizes that the farther away students live from campus (in miles), the less they feel they are part of the university community. The researcher collected data for the following two variables – miles from campus and part of community (rating from 1-10 of how much they felt part of the university community). Proposed analysis (the kind of test) and why you chose the analysis: Scales of measurement (i.e., nominal, ordinal, interval or ratio) for variable(s) that will be used in the analysis: Null and alternative hypotheses (based on context of study) in symbols: Test assumptions and make a decision Inferential statistic(s) and p-value(s): Decision: conclusion Based on your decision, identify and explain the type of error you could be making with respect to the conclusions of the study

An educational psychologist is comparing two instructional approaches. She teaches people using visual aids for Approach A, and uses verbal materials for Approach B, and then gives a test after using each approach. The same individuals were used as students of both instructional approaches. She thinks people learn differently when they have visual aids than verbal materials. Approach A:Mean: 26.0 Std. Dev: 8.5 N: 16 Approach B:Mean: 27.0 std. dev: 10.0 N = 16 Difference A-B:mean : -1.0 Std. Dev: 14.0 N = 16 A). What is the type of test you will use?

The accompanying table gives amounts of arsenic in samples of brown rice from three different states. The amounts are in micrograms of arsenic and all samples have the same serving size. The data are from the Food and Drug Administration. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the three samples are from populations with the same mean. Do the amounts of arsenic appear to be different in the different states? Given that the amounts of arsenic in the samples from Texas have the highest mean, can we conclude that brown rice from Texas poses the greatest health problem? Click the icon to view the data.

A researcher is interested in examining whether people experience greater traumatic stress after a natural disaster (hurricane) or a man-made tragedy (terrorist attack). The researcher measured the stress of 10 people who experienced a hurricane and 10 people who experienced a terrorist attack. Stress was measured on a scale from 1-5, with higher scores indicating greater stress. Enter their data (see below) into SPSS and answer the following questions. Hurricane Terrorist Attack 3.6 3.0 2.2 3.2 3.6 4.7 2.4 4.7 2.2 4.4 1.0 4.2 1.7 2.0 2.2 3.6 2.7 4.6 1.7 4.4 Run an independent t-test ?
