Below are summaries of two studies exploring the dangers of texting while driving. Read eachsummary and then comment on which study, 1 or 2, you think provides stronger evidence that textingwhile driving is dangerous. Explain your reasoning by laying out the facts (identify the scientific studiesbeing done, potential errors, etc.) from these two studies and implications that led you to your conclusion.
Study 1: Drivers in this study were between the ages of 16 and 54, and they performed on a closedcourse, with no other cars or pedestrians present. The idea of “danger” was measured by drivers’ reactiontime—the time from seeing a flashing yellow light until they applied the car breaks. The treatment condi-tions in this study were: sending text messages, reading text messages, and a control condition in whichdrivers completely focused on the road.
Study 2: Drivers in this study were long-haul truck drivers, and their behavior was recorded using severalcameras inside the cab of their…

- Hi! I need help with questions one and two. What would I do/how? A popular uprising that started on January 25, 2011, in Egypt led to the 2011 Egyptian Revolution. Polls show that about 70% of American adults followed the news about the political crisis and demonstrations in Egypt closely during the first couple weeks following the start of the uprising. Among a random sample of 60 high school students, it was found that only 34 of them followed the news about Egypt closely during this time. 1. Describe how to perform one repetition of a simulation of the proportion of high school students who followed the Egyptian Revolution using blue and yellow poker chips and, once you had results, how to estimate the p-value. 2. Below is a histogram showing the distribution of the simulated proportions in 1000 simulations under the null hypothesis. Which of the following values is the best estimate for the p-value?
