Emma is interested in trying something new after completing her first statistics course. She is unsure of the best study design to fit her ideas.
If she wants to support a hypothesis, is it quantitative or qualitative?
If she wants to generate a new theory, is quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods study?
ical literature reports that the duration of a typical cold is roughly 18 days. Researchers wanted to
know if people tend to underestimate the duration of a typical cold, on average. They surveyed a random
sample of 352 healthy adults in Georgia and asked them how long they think that a typical cold lasts.
What are the null and alternative hypotheses that these researchers wanted to test?

- Question 9 Dr. Jameson wanted to know if IQ scores differed between male and female participants in his study. He gave 28 participants an IQ test and then compared IQ scores for gender differences. He hypothesized that there would be a statistically significant gender difference in IQ scores.

A wedding planher is skeptical of this claim and believes the percentage is too low. She decides to gather data in order to conduct a hypothesis test, and she writes her alternative hypothesis as "p = 0.20." What is wrong with this? O The alternative hypothesis should have a ">" sign rather than the "=" sign. O Nothing is wrong. O We cannot determine what might be wrong without knowing what the null hypothesis is.
