A researcher is interested in studying gender differences in emotional intelligence. She selects a sample of n=100 adults
females and N3D100 adult males and has each participant complete the EIAT (Emotional Intelligence Ability Test), a multiple-
choice test that examines people's emotional intelligence skills by providing them with descriptions of emotional problems,
and asking them to indicate which emotion is most probable in a given situation, or to suggest the most appropriate action for
a given scenario. Each participant gets a score out of 100. She wants to determine if there is any difference between men and
women.

- Executive: We recently ran a set of advertisements in the print version of a travel magazine and on that magazine's website. We were unable to get any direct information about the consumer response to the print ads. However, we found the consumer response to the ads on the website were much more limited than is typical for website ads. We concluded that the response to the print ads is below par as well. The executive's response does which one of the following? a. uses information about the typical frequency of events of a general kind about the probability of a particular event of that kind. b. bases a prediction of the phenomenon on the intensity of the phenomenon's cause C. uses a case in which direct information is available to draw conclusions about and analogous case in which direct evidence is unavailable. d. infers a statistical generalization from claims about a large number of specific instances.arrow_forwardPlease give an example of real-life Type I and Type II errors.

My brain may be a bit fried at the moment but it sounds like it is asking for three variables (one categorical and two continous). Am I correct in thinking this? Procedure: Devise two research questions based on the variables in the Student Data Table. Identify the variables to be utilized. One should be categorical (which may be created from a continuous variable, i.e., variable months enrolled at TESU; Categories: less than one year and one or more years) and two should be continuous variables. Use descriptive statistics to describe the variables both numerically and graphically. Devise hypotheses for both research questions. Identify the appropriate statistical tests using alpha=0.05. Perform the statistical tests. Write up the results.
