Do people feel hungrier after sampling a healthy food? The authors of a consumer research paper carried out a study to answer this question. They
randomly assigned volunteers into one of three groups. The people in the first group were asked to taste a snack that was described as a new
health bar containing high levels of protein, vitamins, and fiber. The people in the second group were asked to taste the same snack but were told it
was a tasty chocolate bar with a raspberry center. After tasting the snack, participants were asked to rate their hunger level on a scale from 1 (not
at all hungry) to 7 (very hungry). The people in the third group were asked to rate their hunger but were not given a snack.
The data in the table are consistent with summary quantities given in the paper (although the sample sizes in the actual study were larger).

They were particularly interested in the effects of eye-to-eye contact and smiling. They collected data from 20 participants. Each participant was asked to wait in a small room while the experimenter went next door, ostensibly to gather the materials needed for the study. While the participant was waiting, a confederate of the experimenter entered the room and sat in a chair facing the participant, and asked "Are you waiting for the experiment?". Immediately after asking the question, the confederate smiled at, and/or looked directly into the eyes of, the participant. This was done in four conditions: for five participants the confederate smiled and looked into the participant's eye, for five participants the confederate smiled but did not look into the participant's eye, for five participants the confederate did not smile but did look into the participant's eyes, and for five…arrow_forward

Each participant was randomly assigned to one of two groups. Those assigned to the first group were asked to spend the money on themselves, and those assigned to the second group were asked to donate the money to charity. At the end of the week, all of the participants were asked to rate their overall level of happiness on a scale from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater levels of happiness. Which of the following are the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses to test whether the sample data provide convincing statistical evidence that donating to charity results in greater happiness than spending on oneself, on average?

- Beer and blood alcohol content: Many people believe that gender, weight, drinking habits, and many other factors are much more important in predicting blood alcohol content (BAC) than simply considering the number of drinks a person consumed. Here we examine data from sixteen student volunteers at Ohio State University who each drank a randomly assigned number of cans of beer. These students were evenly divided between men and women, and they differed in weight and drinking habits. Thirty minutes later, a police officer measured their blood alcohol content (BAC) in grams of alcohol per deciliter of blood (Malkevitc and Lesser, 2008).

A sample of 30 four-year-old children from a local preschool was used in the study. Sugar consumption was measured by interviewing the parents about each child’s diet. Based on the result of the interview, each child was then placed into one of two groups: high sugar consumption and low sugar consumption. Activity level was measured by observing the children during a regular preschool afternoon. Finally, Dr. Jones compared the activity level for the high-sugar group with the activity level for the low-sugar group.

Denali in Alaska). At each location, the climbers perform a memory task (remember a list of 16 non-words like “biv”), and the accuracy of their memory is recorded (i.e., # of correctly recalled words). a. pls name the independent variable, dependent variable, levels of the IV, and the type of experiment design of this study (i.e., b/w- or w/i-subject design ) b. on what level of measurement is accuracy of memory assessed?
