1) A researcher is interested in the effects of room color (yellow, blue) and room temperature (20, 24, 28 degrees Celsius) on happiness. A total of 120 university students participated in this study, with 20 students randomly assigned to each condition. After sitting for 30 mins. in a room that was painted either yellow or blue, and that was either 20, 24, or 28 degrees, students were asked to rate how happy they felt on a scale of 1 to 15, where 15 represented the most happiness. The mean happiness scores are as follows: temperature room color happiness 20 yellow 12 24 yellow 10 28 yellow 6 20 blue 4 24 blue 4 28 blue 4 1A) Place the data into the cells of the matrix and determine the row and column means (a handdrawn matrix is fine). 1B) Draw a fully labeled line graph of the results (a hand-drawn graph is fine). 1C) List each significant effect and after each one, describe what the effect is telling us about how temperature and color affected happiness. (For the purpose of this…
This problem is based on a study conducted by Stephens, Atkins & Kingston (2009).  You wish to determine if the pain threshold is different when swearing compared to saying neutral nonsense words.  For the study reported below, you asked each participant to plunge a hand into the icy water and keep it there as long as the pain would allow.  In one condition, the participants repeated their favorite curse words while their hands were in the water.  In the other condition, the participants repeated a neutral word (e.g., cantaloupe or platypus).  You obtain the data shown below: Amount of Time (in seconds) Swear Words Neutral Words 49 37 67 61 59 47 59 45 28 32 87 80 89 68 77 66 55 50 87 72 47 46 58 64 64 56 64 63 65 58 55 56 41 49 50 52 Calculate the confidence interval and conduct the following 2-tailed hypothesis test with α=0.05.•  Give the average for the swear word condition (in seconds):          Mswear=•  Give the average for the…
