Chapter 15.2, Problem 18E
The paper referenced in Exercise 15.5 described an experiment to determine it restrictive age labeling on video games increased the attractiveness of the game for boys age 12 to 13. In that exercise, the null hypothesis
- a. Calculate the 95% T-K intervals and then use the underscoring procedure described in this section to identify significant differences among the age labels.
- b. Based on your answer to Part (a), write a few sentences commenting on the theory that the more restrictive the age label on a video game, the more attractive the game is to 12- to 13-year-old boys.

State the hypotheses for each of the three separate tests included in the two-factor ANOVA.
A researcher is interested in exploring the relationship between calcium intake and weight loss. Two different groups, each with 24 dieters, are chosen for the study. Group A is required to follow a specific diet and exercise regimen, and also take a 500-mg supplement of calcium each day. Group B is required to follow the same diet and exercise regimen, but with no supplemental calcium. After six months on the program, the members of Group A had lost a mean of 16.8 pounds with a standard deviation of 2.1 pounds. The members of Group B had lost a mean of 12.5 pounds with a standard deviation of 1.4 pounds during the same time period. Assume that the population variances are not the same. Construct a 95% confidence interval to estimate the true difference between the mean amounts of weight lost by dieters who supplement with calcium and those who do not. Let Population 1 be the amount of weight lost by Group A, who took a 500500-mg supplement of calcium each day, and let Population 2 be…

- A researcher conducts a study examining the effectiveness of a group exercise program at an assisted living facility for elderly adults. One group of residents is selected to participate in the program, and a second group serves as a control. After 12 weeks, the researcher records a combined score measuring balance and strength for each individual. The data are as follows: Control n = 20 M = 24 SS = 241Exercise n = 30 M = 31 SS = 380 a. Use a two-tailed test with a = 0.1. Conduct the four steps for hypothesis testing and label each step: Step1, Step 2, Step 3, and Step 4.arrow_forwardSiegel (1990) found that elderly people who owned dogs were less likely to pay visits to their doctors after upsetting events than were those who did not own pets. Similarly, consider the following hypothetical data. A sample of elderly dog owners is compared to a similar group (in terms of age and health) who do not own dogs. The researcher records the number of doctor visits during the past year for each person. The data are as follows. Control group:10,8,7,9,13,7,6,12 Dog owners: 7, 4,9,3,7 a.

- Researchers have noted a decline in cognitive functioning as people age (Bartus, 1990). However, the results from other research suggest that the antioxidants in foods such as blueberries may reduce and even reverse these age-related declines (Joseph et al., 1999). To examine this phenomenon, suppose that a researcher obtains a sample of n = 16 adults who are between the ages of 65 and 75. The researcher uses a standardized test to measure cognitive performance for each individual. The participants then begin a 2-month program in which they receive daily doses of a blueberry supplement. At the end of the 2-month period, the researcher again measures cognitive performance for each participant. The results show an average increase in performance of Mp = 7.4 with SS = 1215. a. Does this result support the conclusion that the antioxidant supplement has a significant effect on cognitive performance? Use a two-tailed test with a = = .05.
