(a)
To explain how this experiment used comparison.
(a)
Explanation of Solution
In this study, researchers want to study about the day care that help the low income children or not to stay in school and hold good jobs later in life.
Thus, the children were randomly examined over forty years and also half randomly selected children were assigned to an intensive preschool program. Therefore, the given experiment used comparison in the sense of checking the health, IQ level and the test scores of the low income children in the day care. Thus, these were the comparison that were tested for the children before and after they have send to the Day care.
(b)
To explain the purpose of randomly assigning the babies to the three treatments.
(b)
Explanation of Solution
In this study, researchers want to study about the day care that help the low income children or not to stay in school and hold good jobs later in life.
Thus, the children were randomly examined over forty years and also half randomly selected children were assigned to an intensive preschool program.And the purposes of randomly assigning the children were that the low income children whose IQs and health were high and good from the starting does not get a favour so that the results of the research could not be biased. And the results can be accurate.
(c)
To name two variables that were controlled in this experiment and why it was beneficial to control these variables.
(c)
Answer to Problem 68E
Two variables are: the children must be from low-income group and also the children should be in day care.
Explanation of Solution
In this study, researchers want to study about the day care that help the low income children or not to stay in school and hold good jobs later in life.
Thus, the children were randomly examined over forty years and also half randomly selected children were assigned to an intensive preschool program.Therefore, the two variables that are controlled are the children must be from low-income group and also the children should be in day care. It was beneficial to do the same because the low income children can be found easily but the low level income in the day care are not found that easily.
(d)
To explain how this experiment used replication and what is the purpose of replication in this context.
(d)
Explanation of Solution
In this study, researchers want to study about the day care that help the low income children or not to stay in school and hold good jobs later in life.
Thus, the children were randomly examined over forty years and also half randomly selected children were assigned to an intensive preschool program.In this experiment the replication is used. The experiment used replication by giving nutritional supplements and the help from social workers and also the intensive preschool program. The purpose of replication was to check the health of the children and growth of the children such as IQs, test scores, etc. as the time passes.

- please solve this problem step by step and make it quick pleasearrow_forwardWHAT IS THE CORRECT ANSWER AND WHY?arrow_forwardA common way for two people to settle a frivolous dispute is to play a game of rock-paper-scissors. In this game, each person simultaneously displays a hand signal to indicate a rock, a piece of paper, or a pair of scissors. Rock beats scissors, scissors beats paper, and paper beats rock. If both players select the same hand signal, the game results in a tie. Two roommates, roommate A and roommate B, are expecting company and are arguing over who should have to wash the dishes before the company arrives. Roommate A suggests a game of rock-paper-scissors to settle the dispute. Consider the game of rock-paper-scissors to be an experiment. In the long run, roommate A chooses rock 21% of the time, and roommate B chooses rock 61% of the time; roommate A selects paper 39% of the time, and roommate B selects paper 21% of the time; roommate A chooses scissors 40% of the time, and roommate B chooses scissors 18% of the time.

- A qualifying exam for a graduate school program has a math section and a verbal section. Students receive a score of 1, 2, or 3 on each section. Define X as a student’s score on the math section and Y as a student’s score on the verbal section. Test scores vary according to the following bivariate probability distribution. y 1 2 3 1 0.22 0.33 0.05 x 2 0.00 0.08 0.20 3 0.07 0.05 0.00 μXX = , and μYY = σXX = , and σYY = The covariance of X and Y is . The coefficient of correlation is . The variables X and Y independent. The expected value of X + Y is , and the variance of X + Y is . To be accepted to a particular graduate school program, a student must have a combined score of 4 on the qualifying exam.
