Chapter 10.3, Problem 82E

Stressed-Out Bus Drivers. An intervention program designed by the Stockholm Transit District was implemented to improve the work conditions of the city’s bus drivers. Improvements were evaluated by G. Evans et al., who collected physiological and psychological data for bus drivers who drove on the improved routes (intervention) and for drivers who were assigned the normal routes (control). Their findings were published in the article “Hassles on the Job: A Study of a Job Intervention with Urban Bus Drivers” (Journal of Organizational Behavior, Vol. 20, pp. 199–208). Following are data, based on the results of the study, for the heart rates, in beats per minute, of the intervention and control drivers.

Chapter 10.3, Problem 82E, Stressed-Out Bus Drivers. An intervention program designed by the Stockholm Transit District was

  1. a. At the 5% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the intervention program reduces mean heart rate of urban bus drivers in Stockholm? (Note: x 1 ¯ = 67.90, s1 = 5.49, x 2 ¯ = 66.81, and s2 = 9.04.)
  2. b. Can you provide an explanation for the somewhat surprising results of the study?
  3. c. Is the study a designed or an observational study? Explain your answer.

The effect of aid is a subject of considerable academic and policy interest. In this question we examine the relationship between foreign aid and civil conflict using a recent paper by Crost et al. (2014) in the Philippines. The authors collect data on civil conflict related incidents at the municipality level as well as information on aid receipts at the municipality level. The conflict data was collected from the Philippine military and provides casualty counts (as well as the party responsible) by municipality. Aid in this context refers to a large anti-poverty program (the KALAHI-CIDSS) funded by the World Bank and run from 2003-2008. The program provided cash grants to municipalities to build infrastructure such as roads, water-systems, clinics and schools. The grants were fairly large and accounted for approximately 15% of the annual budget for the average municipality. (a) Let Yi denote the number of conflict casualties in municipality i in a given timeperiod after the…
McAllister, et al. (2012) compared varsity football and hockey players with varsity athletes from noncontact sports to determine whether exposure to head impacts during one season have an effect on cognitive performance. In the study, tests of new learning performance were significantly poorer for the contact sport athletes compared to the noncontact sport athletes. The following table presents data similar to the results obtained in the study. Noncontact Athletes Contact Athletes 10 7 8 4 7 9 9 3 13 7 7 6 6 10 12 2 Are the neurological test scores significantly lower for the contact athletes than for the noncontact athletes in the control group? Use a one-tailed test with α = .05. Compute the value of r² (percentage of variance accounted for) for these data.
A two-factor study investigates the effects of self-esteem (low vs. high) and gender (males vs. females) on anxiety scores. The following data represents the means for each treatment condition.   Low self-esteem High self-esteem                         Male     5 11 Female 10 3 The data shows that there is a self-esteem by gender interaction. Explain the self-esteem by gender interaction (include individual means in your explanation)
