Textbook Question
Chapter 13.5, Problem 46E
A sample of n = 353 college faculty members was obtained, and the values of x = Teaching evaluation index and y = Annual raise were determined (“Determination of Faculty Pay: An Agency Theory Perspective,” Academy of Management Journal [1992]: 921–955). The resulting value of r was 0.11. Does there appear to be a linear association between these variables in the population from which the sample was selected? Carry out a test of hypothesis using a significance level of 0.05. Does the conclusion surprise you? Explain.

Using the information provided, does a relationship exist between gender and employment sector at the 5% significance level? Define the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis.
A. H0: Gender and employment sector are independent vs H1: A relationship exists between gender and employment sector
B. H1: Gender and employment sector are independent vs H0: No relationship exists between gender and employment sector
C. H1: Gender and employment sector are independent vs H0: Gender is dependent on employment sector
D. H0: A relationship exists between gender and employment sector vs H1: No relationship exists between gender and employment sector
A study was conducted to explore workplace bullying in a community NHS trust. Staff were asked about whether workplace bullying had affected their working environment (Quine L, BMJ 1999; 318: 228-229).
Those who had been bullied had lower levels of job satisfaction (mean 10.5 [SD 2.7] vs 12.2 [2.3], P<0.001) and higher levels of job-induced stress (mean 22.5 [SD 6.1] v 16.9 [5.8], P<0.001) than those who had not been bullied.
Based on the above info, Select which of the following statement(s) you believe to be true
You CAN SELECT MORE THAN 1.
a.
The P value for the comparison of job-induced stress was less than 0.001. This means that we cannot reject the null hypothesis at the 5% level of significance.
b.
P < 0.001 means that there is a less than 1 in 1000 chance that we would have obtained these results, or more extreme results, if the alternative hypothesis was true.
c.
There is a significant difference in the levels of job satisfaction between…

- The article "Display of Health Risk Behaviors on MySpace by Adolescents"+ described a study in which researchers looked at a random sample of 500 publicly accessible MySpace web profiles posted by 18-year-olds. The content of each profile was analyzed. One of the conclusions reported was that displaying sport or hobby involvement was associated with decreased references to risky behavior (sexual references or references to substance abuse or violence). (a) Is the study described an observational study or an experiment? an observational study an experiment (b) Is it reasonable to generalize the stated conclusion to all 18-year-olds with a publicly accessible MySpace web profile? What aspect of the study supports your answer? No, it is not reasonable to generalize the stated conclusion since the study didn't include all 18-year-olds on MySpace.

- The Airline Passenger Association studied the relationship between the number of passengers on a particular flight and the cost of the flight. It seems logical that more passengers on the flight will result in more weight and more luggage, which in turn will result in higher fuel costs. For a sample of 15 flights, the correlation between the number of passengers and total fuel cost was .667. Is it reasonable to conclude that there is positive association in the population between the two variables? Use the .01 significance level.arrow_forwardQ1: Placebo effect of exercise In a high-profile research study, Crum and Langer (2007) performed an experiment to test whether the relationship between physical exercise and health is impacted by one's mindset: in other words, if there is any "placebo effect" of exercise. A sample of 84 randomly selected hotel workers in the United States were placed either into a treatment group (n=44) or control group (n=40) depending on which hotel they worked at. The treatment group was given information demonstrating how their work is good physical exercise, while the control group was not given this information. They measured the body mass index (BMI) for each worker before the experiment and again four weeks after the experiment. a. Are the treatment group and control group independent of each other, and if so why? b. Now consider the treatment group alone: are the measurements of BMI taken before and after the experiment independent of each other, and if so why? c. What is the most appropriate…arrow_forward4.
