Chapter 8, Problem 8.3.2CP

Metropolitan Research, Inc., a consumer research organization, conducts surveys designed to evaluate a wide variety of products and services available to consumers. In one particular study, Metropolitan looked at consumer satisfaction with the performance of automobiles produced by a major Detroit manufacturer. A questionnaire sent to owners of one of the manufacturer's full-sized cars revealed several complaints about early transmission problems. To learn more about the transmission failures, Metropolitan used a sample of actual transmission repairs provided by a transmission repair firm in the Detroit area. The following data show the actual number of miles driven for 50 vehicles at the time of transmission failure.

A researcher conducts an independent-measures study to examine how the brain chemical serotonin is related to aggression.  One sample of rats serves as a control group and receives a placebo that does not affect normal levels of serotonin.  A second sample of rats, low serotonin group, receives a drug that lowers brain levels of serotonin.  Then, the researcher tests the animals by recording the number of aggressive responses each of the rats display.  See the data below. Is there a significant difference between the control group and the low serotonin group regarding the number of aggressive responses?                                                Control         Low Serotonin                                                    n = 10                 n = 15                                                M = 14               M = 19                                                SS = 180.5         SS = 130 Perform a hypothesis test using independent-measures t-test.
