Chapter 13.2, Problem 21E
Researchers studying pleasant touch sensations measured the firing frequency (impulses per second) of nerves that were stimulated by a light brushing stroke on the forearm and also recorded the subject’s numerical rating of how pleasant the sensation was. The accompanying data was read from a graph in the paper “Coding of Pleasant Touch by Unmyelinated Afferents in Humans” (Nature Neuroscience, April 12, 2009).
- a. Estimate the mean change in pleasantness rating associated with an increase of 1 impulse per second in firing frequency using a 95% confidence interval. Interpret the resulting interval.
- b. Carry out a hypothesis test to decide if there is convincing evidence of a useful linear relationship between firing frequency and pleasantness rating.

The heart rate of humans are normally distributed with a mean of 90.3 bpm and std. dev. of 7.3 bpm. What are the heartbeats that separate the lower 25% from the rest and the upper 20% from the rest?
undergraduate students taking a concepts and methods course at the university conducted a survey about GPA and major. There were 197 total students and 3 groups of majors that were randomly sampled. The mean square within groups was 0.081 and the mean square between groups was 0.015. What F-statistic output is correct for this problem?
Sociodemographic differences in lung cancer worry. Hahn (2017) evaluated sociodemographic differences in how people worry about lung cancer. Some of the differences observed across demographic of interest were between males and females [t[45]=0.69; higher mean worry among men], smokers and nonsmokers [t[45]=2.69; higher mean worry among smokers]. However, at least one of these results were not statistically significant. Use the information provided to state which t test or t test did not reach the .05 level of significance in this study.
(a) Compute the proportion of variance using omega-squared.
(b) Suppose the pooled sample standard deviation for this test is 0.74. Using this value, compute estimated Cohen's d.

- A social psychologist recently developed a childhood-memories test that is intended to measure how people recall pleasant and unpleasant experiences from childhood. Scores on the test range from 1 (very unpleasant) to 100 (very pleasant). The psychologist standardized the test with a large group of college students (ages 18-25), and the mean score was p=60. The test was then given to a sample of n=25 individuals who were all between the ages of 40 and 45. The average score for this sample was 64.3 with SS (sum of squares)=600. Note: S?=SS÷df (variance is equal to sum of squares divided by the degrees of freedom). What is your conclusion if you were to test the hypothesis using one- tailed test at a=0.05? O a.
