Following a sharp increase in the price of gas, the researcher asked 30 people to indicate their level of frustration with prices at the pump (frustration scores ranged from 1 to 10, with higher scores indicating greater frustration). Ten people were surveyed who owned a motorcycle as their primary means of transportation (coded a 1 in the data file 1), 10 were surveyed who owned a hybrid vehicle (coded a 2 in the data file 1), and 10 were surveyed who owned a non-hybrid vehicle (coded a 3 in the data file Exam 3). a.State the null and alternative hypotheses. b.

Three samples of children are selected with n = 5 in each sample. One group gets no caffeine, one group gets a small dose, and the third group gets a large dose. The psychologist records the activity level for each child during 50 minutes of unstructured play. Determine whether these data indicate significant differences among the three groups using a = .05. Your answer should include hypotheses, critical boundary, F-score, and results including notation, decision, and explanation. Calculate and interpret effect size if appropriate. Indicate whether post- hoc test results should be calculated (i.e., "yes, include" or "no, do not include").

She takes a random sample of 9 three-year old children and a second sample of 9 four-year old children and measures fine motor skill in each using a manual dexterity test that measures fine motor skill. Higher scores on this test indicate better fine motor skills. Her data are: Three Year Olds: 35, 36, 39, 29, 35, 34, 33, 34, 35 Four Year Olds: 40, 35, 38, 39, 40, 50, 40, 38, 42 Is there a significant difference in the motor skills from age three to four? Test with an α = 0.01. What type of error is possible based on the outcome? Calculate and interpret the effect size. Report the mean motor skill score for each of the samples. On average, which group had the better fine motor skills?arrow_forwardThis obstetrician also wanted to determine the impact that three experimental diets had on the birth weights of pregnant mothers. She was also interested if age had an impact on birth weights. She randomly selected 27 pregnant mothers in the first trimester of whom 9 were 20 to 29 years old, 9 were 30 to 39 years old, and 9 were 40 or older. For each age group, she randomly assigned the mothers to one of three diets.

These totals were compared to crash data gathered at the same time from similar locations that were scheduled to receive the new marking system next year. What type of experimental design is this?

The firm is located in the Southwestern US, and has excellent experience there. However, they are opening a few test locations in Buffalo, Syracuse and Albany in the very near future, and have hired you, an Upstate NY statistical consultant, to collect and analyze the results. These restaurants follow a standard blueprint for design, operation, and location. They run a 2,150 sq foot facility in wealthier suburban areas, and usually locate in new plazas near other specialty restaurants that tend not to compete with them (Starbucks, Panera, Fridays, and similar restaurants.) Existing Southwestern locations take in an average of $82,000 a week in sales, with a highly reliable standard deviation of $5,200. Before deciding on their regional distribution strategy, the firm is opening three test restaurants, one in each city.
