- Cialdini, Reno, andKallgre,n (11990) examined how peo ple conform to norms concerning liner mg. The research
er wanted to determine whether a person ' tendency to litter depended on the amount of litter already in the area. People were handed a handbill as they entered an amusement park. The entrance area had already been prepared with either no litter, a small amount of litter or a lot of litter lying on the ground. The people were
observed to determine whether they dropped their hand bills The frequency data are as follows:
Littering
Amount of Litter Small
Large
None
Amount
Amount
- Do the data indicate that people’s tendency 1to litter depends on the amount of litter already on the ground? That is, is there a significant relationship between littering and the amount of existing litter? Test at the .05 level of significance.

A study examined the link between sodium intake and blood pressure inchildren and adolescents between the ages of 8 and 18. The mean systolicblood pressure (SBP) was 112.8 mm Hg among the 636 study participants whowere overweight or obese and consumed high levels of sodium. Based on thisdata the researchers need to decide if they believe that the mean systolicblood pressure for the group was higher than for other groups.

b. What would be a Type II error in this context? Your answer shouldconsist of both the researchers’ decision and what the reality is.

- A website developer wished to analyze the clicks per day on their newly updated website. Let the mean number of clicks per day be μ. If the website developer wants to know if the number of clicks per day is different than 200 clicks a day, on average, what are the null and alternative hypotheses? Select the correct answer below: H0: μ=200; Ha: μ>200 H0: μ≠200; Ha: μ=200 H0: μ=200; Ha: μ<200 H0: μ=200; Ha: μ≠200arrow_forwardMakers of generic drugs are required to show that their generic drugs do not differ significantly from the “reference” or brand name drugs that they imitate. One aspect in which the generic drugs might differ is their extent of absorption in the blood. Twelve subjects were available for the study. Six were randomly selected to receive the generic drug first and then, after a washout period, receive the “reference” drug. The remaining six received the “reference” drug first, followed by the generic drug after the washout period. Suppose the actual p-value for a two-sided test is 0.140. On the basis of this p-value, what should you conclude at α = 0.05? Group of answer choices The mean difference between the absorption rate of the reference drug and the absorption rate of the generic drug is equal to zero There is insufficient evidence to conclude that the mean difference between the absorption rate of the reference drug and the absorption rate of the generic drug is not equal to…arrow_forwardMakers of generic drugs are required to show that their generic drugs do not differ significantly from the “reference” or brand name drugs that they imitate.

Six were randomly selected to receive the generic drug first and then, after a washout period, receive the “reference” drug. The remaining six received the “reference” drug first, followed by the generic drug after the washout period. Assume that all conditions are met.

(2012) measured whether the time taken to drink a beer was influenced by the shape of the glass in which it was served. Participants were given a 12 oz. of chilled lager and were told that they should drink it at their own pace while watching a nature documentary. The participants were randomly assigned to receive their beer in either a straight-sided glass or a curved, fluted glass. The data below are the total time in minutes to drink the glass of beer by the 19 women participants in the study. Straight glass: 11.63 10.37 17.89 6.96 20.40 20.64 9.26 18.11 10.33 23.54 Curved glass: 7.46 9.28 8.90 6.73 8.25 6.16 13.09 2.10 6.37 a. Show the data in a graph. What trend is suggested?

- The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration requires each U.S. state to carry out an observational study to assess the level of seat belt use in the state. One report summarized data from a study done in a certain state. Unfortunately, the "sex" variable provided very little information, and only indicated that it collected the values Female and Male; it may be that this refers to the gender identity of the respondent. The proportions in the accompanying table are based on observations of over 25,000 drivers and passengers. Male Female Uses Seatbelt 0.422 0.452 Does Not Use Seat Belt 0.078 0.048 Assume that these proportions are representative of adults in this state and that an adult from this state is selected at random. (a) What is the probability that the selected adult uses a seat belt? (b) What is the probability that the selected adult uses a seat belt given that the individual selected is male?arrow_forwardA health psychologist investigated dietary differences between middle class Hispanic and Black women.
