B. Thomas Testing Labs
John Thomas, the owner of Thomas Testing, has for some time done contract work for insurance companies regarding drunk driving. To improve his research capabilities, he recently purchased the Rupple Driving Simulator. This device will allow a subject to take a “road test” and provide a score indicating the number of driving errors committed during the test drive. Higher scores indicate more driving errors. Driving errors would include not coming to a complete stop at a stop sign, not using turning signals, not exercising caution on wet or snowy pavement, and so on. During the road test, problems appear at random and not all problems appear in each road test. These are major advantages to the Rupple Driving Simulator because subjects do not gain any advantage by taking the test several times.
With the new driving simulator, Mr. Thomas would like to study in detail the problem of drunk driving. He begins by selecting a random sample of 25 drivers. He asks each of the selected individuals to take the test drive on the Rupple Driving Simulator. The number of errors for each driver is recorded. Next, he has each of the individuals in the group drink three 16-ounce cans of beer in a 60-minute period and return to the Rupple Driving Simulator for another test drive. The number of driving errors after drinking the beer is also shown. The research question is: Does alcohol impair the driver’s ability and, therefore, increase the number of driving errors?
Mr. Thomas believes the distribution of scores on the test drive does not follow a
- a. Compare the results using these two procedures. Conduct an appropriate test of hypothesis to determine if alcohol is related to driving errors.
- b. Write a report that summarizes your findings.

In the study, researchers want to determine whether a new drug will reduce the risk of blood clotting in patients who have been diagnosed with blood clots in the past. 2,000 participants were selected for the study. 1,000 participants were given the new drug, and 1,000 participants were given a placebo. After 5 years, the number of participants from each group who had developed a blood clot were recorded. The data is shown in the table below. 1. Calculate the RR, ARR, and NNT for the data. 2.

Next run the appropriate analyses and report your findings in APA Research scenario 2: Historians are interested in the accuracy of eyewitness accounts of traumatic events. One study examined survivors' recall of the sinking of the ship Titanic (Riniolo, Koledin, Drakulic, & Payne, 2003). The researchers reviewed the transcripts of survivors' testimony at governmental hearings (www.titanicinquiry.org) to see whether they testified that the ship was intact or breaking apart during the ship's final plunge (it was in fact breaking apart). To test for eyewitness accuracy, testimony of 20 survivors was examined to see if there was an equal likelihood of survivors saying the ship was intact or breaking apart.
