Chapter 18, Problem 21P

  1. In problem 13 in Chapter 17, we Discussed a study by Loftus and Palmer (1974) examining how different phrasing of questions can influence eyewitness testimony. In the study, students watched a video of an automobile accident and then were questioned about what they had seen. One group of participants was asked to estimate the speed of the cars when ''they smashed into each other.” Another group of was asked to estimate the speed of the cars when "the y hit each other.'' Suppose that the actual speed of the cars was 22 miles per hour.
  2. For the 50 people in the “smashed-into'' group,
  3. assume that 32 overestimated the actual speed

17 underestimated the speed, I was exactly right. ls this result significantly different from what would be expected by chance? Use a two tailed

test with a = .05.

  • For the 50 people in the “hit'' group, assume that 27 overestimated the actual speed, 22 underestimated the speed, 1 was exactly right. Again. use a two-tailed test with a = .05 to determine whether
  • this result significant1y different from what would be expected by chance.

    In a classic study, Loftus and Palmer (1974) investigated the relationship between memory for eyewitnesses and the question they are asked.

    In the study participants watched a film of an automobile accident and then were questioned about the accident. One group was asked how fast the cars were going when they “smashed into” each other.

    A second group was asked about the speed when the car. “Hit” each other, and a third group was not asked any question about the speed of the cars. A week later, the participants returned to answer additional questions about the accident, including whether they recalled. Seeing any broken glass. Although there was no broken glass in the film, several students claimed to remember seeing it. The following table shows the frequency distribution of response for each group.

    Response to the Question

    Did You See Any Broken Glass?

    Verb Used to Ask About the Speed

    Verb Used as Ask About t, he Speed

    Smashed into Hit

    Control (Not Asked)

    Response about Broken Glass

    Yes: No

    1. Does the proportion of participants who claim to remember broken glass differ significantly from group to group? Test with a = .05.
    2. Compute Cramer’s V to n1easnfle the size of the
    3. treatment effect.

  • Describe how the phrasing of the question influ­
  • enced the participants’ memories.

  • Write a sentence demonstrating how the outcome of the hypothesis test and the p1easure of effect size would be reported in a journal article.

    Find binomial probability if: x = 8, n = 10, p = 0.7 x= 3, n=5, p = 0.3 x = 4, n=7, p = 0.6 Quality Control: A factory produces light bulbs with a 2% defect rate. If a random sample of 20 bulbs is tested, what is the probability that exactly 2 bulbs are defective? (hint: p=2% or 0.02; x =2, n=20; use the same logic for the following problems) Marketing Campaign: A marketing company sends out 1,000 promotional emails. The probability of any email being opened is 0.15. What is the probability that exactly 150 emails will be opened? (hint: total emails or n=1000, x =150) Customer Satisfaction: A survey shows that 70% of customers are satisfied with a new product. Out of 10 randomly selected customers, what is the probability that at least 8 are satisfied? (hint: One of the keyword in this question is “at least 8”, it is not “exactly 8”, the correct formula for this should be = 1- (binom.dist(7, 10, 0.7, TRUE)). The part in the princess will give you the probability of seven and less than…

    Selon une économiste d’une société financière, les dépenses moyennes pour « meubles et appareils de maison » ont été moins importantes pour les ménages de la région de Montréal, que celles de la région de Québec. Un échantillon aléatoire de 14 ménages pour la région de Montréal et de 16 ménages pour la région Québec est tiré et donne les données suivantes, en ce qui a trait aux dépenses pour ce secteur d’activité économique. On suppose que les données de chaque population sont distribuées selon une loi normale. Nous sommes intéressé à connaitre si les variances des populations sont égales.a)    Faites le test d’hypothèse sur deux variances approprié au seuil de signification de 1 %.
