- 8.67 Free recall memory strategy. Psychologists who study ①memory often use a measure of "free recall" (e.g., the RECALL number of correctly recalled items in a list of to-be- remembered items). The strategy used to memorize the list-for example, category clustering-is often just as important. Researchers at Central Michigan University developed an algorithm for computing measures of cat- egory clustering in Advances in Cognitive Psychology (Oct. 2012). One measure, called ratio of repetition, was recorded for a sample of 8 participants in a memory study. These ratios are listed in the table. Test the theory that the average ratio of repetition for all participants in a similar memory study differs from .5. Select an appropriate Type I error rate for your test. .25 .43 .57 .38 .38 .60 .47 .30 Source: Senkova, O., & Otani, H. "Category clustering calculator for free recall."

- 8.64 Radon exposure in Egyptian tombs. Refer to the D Radiation Protection Dosimetry (Dec. 2010) study TOMBS of radon exposure in Egyptian tombs, Exercise 7.39 (p. 334). The radon levels-measured in becquerels per cubic meter (Bq/m³)-in the inner chambers of a sam- ple of 12 tombs are listed in the table. For the safety of the guards and visitors, the Egypt Tourism Authority (ETA) will temporarily close the tombs if the true mean level of radon exposure in the tombs rises to 6,000 Bq/m³. Consequently, the ETA wants to conduct a test to deter- mine if the true mean level of radon exposure in the tombs is less than 6,000 Bq/m³, using a Type I error probabil- ity of .10. A SAS analysis of the data is shown on p. 399.

Please select one of the following correct option with respect to this statement A. Yes because reduction in size results in decrease in surface area B. Yes because reduction in size results in increase in surface area C. The above statement is incorrect because rate of dissolution, in fact, decreases with decrease in particle size of the drug __ Only B is correct __ Only C is correct __ Only A is correctarrow_forwardShow all steps.
