Chapter 11, Problem 10P
The stimulant Ritalin has been shown to increase attention span and improve academic performance in children with ADHD (Evans et al., 2001). To demonstrate the effectiveness of the drug, a researcher selects a sample of n – 20 children diagnosed with the disorder and measure each child’s attention span before and after taking the drug. The data show an average increase of attention span of MD = 4.8 minutes with a variance of s2 – 125 for the sample of difference scores.
a. Is this result sufficient to conclude that Ritalin significantly improves attention span? Use a one tailed test with α = .05.
b. Compute the 80% confidence interval for the mean change in attention span for the population.

Consider an MA(6) model with θ1 = 0.5, θ2 = −25, θ3 = 0.125, θ4 = −0.0625,
θ5 = 0.03125, and θ6 = −0.015625. Find a much simpler model that has nearly the
same ψ-weights.
Let {Yt} be an AR(2) process of the special form Yt = φ2Yt − 2 + et. Use first principles
to find the range of values of φ2 for which the process is stationary.
Describe the important characteristics of the autocorrelation function for the following
models: (a) MA(1), (b) MA(2), (c) AR(1), (d) AR(2), and (e) ARMA(1,1).
