Measuring the Effect of Story SpoilersA story spoiler gives away the ending early. Does having a story spoiled in this way diminish suspense and hurt enjoyment? A study1 investigated this question. For twelve different short stories, the study’s authors created a second version in which a spoiler paragraph at the beginning discussed the story and revealed the outcome. Each version of the twelve stories was read by at least 30 people and rated on a 1 to 10 scale to create an overall rating for the story, with higher ratings indicating greater enjoyment of the story. The ratings are given in Table 1 and stored in StorySpoilers. Stories 1 to 4 were ironic twist stories, stories 5 to 8 were mysteries, and stories 9 to 12 were literary stories. Here we measure the size of the effect on mean rating.

- What is an experiment?arrow_forward6. Binge-watching a television show might not be the best way to enjoy a television series (Horvath et al., 2017). Participants in an experiment were in a group that either watched an entire tv series during daily one-hour sessions or watched all the episodes during a single binge session. Participants were asked to rate their enjoyment of the t.v. series on a scale of 0-100. Data like those observed by the author are listed below: Binge-watched 87 Daily-watched 84 71 100 73 87 86 97 78 92 a. Is there a difference in the level of enjoyment based on whether the series was binge-watched or watched on a daily basis? Use a two-tailed test at the a = 0.05 level of significance? b.

- The American Water Works Association reports that, The average household water usage is more than 10 gallons per day. However, in a pandemic like this, it is suspected that there is a change in household water consumption. A researcher conducted a survey and took samples of 12 household heads and asked about the use of the gallon water. The data obtained are as follows: 74, 8, 13, 17, 13, 15, 12, 13, 15, 16, 9, 7. If it is known that the data is normally distributed. Use a significance level of 5% to test whether the average household water use has increased (greater than 10 gallons)? What will happen if the household's water use increases by 5% from the previous one? Analyze your answer and come up with a conclusion!arrow_forwardA researcher is studying the effects of his newly created lens on vision.

- A park ranger takes a sample of 15 national park patrons and measures their attitudes about a new park to make inferences about national park patrons in general. What is the population that the park ranger is interested in studying? When the park ranger has computed the sample’s average attitude score, is this a statistic or a parameter? Why?arrow_forwardA developmental psychologist would like to determine how much fine motor skill improves for children from age 3 to age 4. 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_forwardA researcher wants to see if there is a difference in APGAR scores of newborns depending on whether the mother smoked during pregnancy or not. She collects data and analyzes the results using SPSS. What is your conclusion? Question 22 options: There is no evidence to suggest a difference. There is a difference in newborns' APGAR score based on whether the mother smoked or not. Newborns whose mothers didn't smoke have higher APGAR score than newborns whose mother did smoke. Newborns whose mothers didn't smoke have lower APGAR score than newborns whose mother did smoke.arrow_forward
