Textbook Question
Chapter 10.4, Problem 1LC
A researcher is using an independent-measures design to evaluate the difference between two treatment conditions with n = 8 in each treatment. The first treatment produces M = 63 with a variance of s2 = 18, and the second treatment has M = 58 with s2 = 14.
a. Use a one-tailed test with
b. Predict how the value for the t statistic would be affected if the two sample variances were increased to s2 = 68 and s2 = 60. Compute the new t to confirm your answer.
c. Predict how the value for the t statistic for the original samples would be affected if each sample had n = 32 scores (instead of n = 8). Compute the new t to confirm your answer.

- Suppose you are gambling on a roulette wheel. Each time the wheel is spun, the result is one of the outcomes 0, 1, and so on through 36. Of these outcomes, 18 are red, 18 are black, and 1 is green. On each spin you bet $5 that a red outcome will occur and $1 that the green outcome will occur. If red occurs, you win a net $4. (You win $10 from red and nothing from green.) If green occurs, you win a net $24. (You win $30 from green and nothing from red.) If black occurs, you lose everything you bet for a loss of $6. a. Use simulation to generate 1,000 plays from this strategy. Each play should indicate the net amount won or lost. Then, based on these outcomes, calculate a 95% confidence interval for the total net amount won or lost from 1,000 plays of the game. (Round your answers to two decimal places and if your answer is negative value, enter "minus" sign.) I worked out the Upper Limit, but I can't seem to arrive at the correct answer for the Lower Limit. What is the Lower Limit?…arrow_forwardLet us suppose we have some article reported on a study of potential sources of injury to equine veterinarians conducted at a university veterinary hospital. Forces on the hand were measured for several common activities that veterinarians engage in when examining or treating horses. We will consider the forces on the hands for two tasks, lifting and using ultrasound. Assume that both sample sizes are 6, the sample mean force for lifting was 6.2 pounds with standard deviation 1.5 pounds, and the sample mean force for using ultrasound was 6.4 pounds with standard deviation 0.3 pounds. Assume that the standard deviations are known. Suppose that you wanted to detect a true difference in mean force of 0.25 pounds on the hands for these two activities. Under the null hypothesis, 40 0.
