Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
To describe: The basic characteristics that define an independent-measures, or a between-subjects, research study.
Answer to Problem 1P
It uses a separate sample for each of the treatments or populations being compared
Explanation of Solution
An independent measures design is the one in which different participants are used in each condition of the independent variable. Different participants are used for the two groups i.e. every participant is only subjected to a single treatment.
Since independent measure design uses two distinct populations (and population means), hence, each of these have their own sample mean and variances.

U.S. Department of Transportation
As an auto insurance risk analyst, it is your job to research risk profiles for various types of drivers. One common area of concern for auto insurance companies
is the risk involved when offering policies to younger, less experienced drivers. The U.S. Department of Transportation recently conducted a study in which it
analyzed the relationship between 1) the number of fatal accidents per 1000 licenses, and 2) the percentage of licensed drivers under the age of 21 in a sample
of 42 cities.
Your first step in the analysis is to construct a scatterplot of the data.

- 2 Researchers examined the relationship between interpersonal violence and health in college-age women. The researchers administered a psychological distress questionnaire which produced a score on a scale of 0-12. What would be an appropriate measure of central tendency to consider for this variable?arrow_forwardA researcher would like to conduct a study related to student emotional intelligence (EQ) in a university. The researcher would like to examine two objectives in his study. First, he would like to examine whether the EQ training and coaching programme will improve the level of EQ for university students. Second, he would like to study the relationship between student academic performance (CGPA) and students’ emotional intelligence (EQ) in a university. Twenty samples of students from the first year were taken for the study. The researcher has collected the data for a few variables: gender, academic performance, and emotional intelligence (EQ) test score. The study is divided into two parts. First, the student must answer the emotional intelligence (EQ) test assessment before attending the EQ training and coaching programme. Second, the researcher will request the same twenty students to attend a one-month emotional intelligence (EQ) coaching and training programme.
