Scenario: If 20 participants completed an attention task twice — once after consuming a sugar pill and once after consuming a pill that contained 25 mg nicotine, which test would be most appropriate? Assume data meets all assumptions for a parametric test, and that participant exposure to the sugar pill vs. nicotine pill were counterbalanced. Question: What is the research / alternate hypothesis for this scenario?
Nicotine does not affect attention.
Nicotine affects attention.
Anxiety does not affect attention.
Anxiety affects attention.
Anecdotal evidence suggests that anxiety disorder may contribute to the irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), a condition characterized by nausea, alternating constipation and diarrhea, and no identifiable gastrointestinal pathology. Researchers administer an online questionnaire regarding IBS symptoms to 10,000 people who have an established diagnosis of anxiety disorder in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. They administer the same questionnaire to another 10,000 people from the same countries who do not have a diagnosis of anxiety disorder. Their findings are tabulated below.
Roughly ten percent of elementary schools in
California have a system whereby 4th to 6th
graders share a common classroom and a
single teacher (multi-age, multi-grade
classroom).

- Why is it important to ensure that research participants' names and other identifying information are not included in the notes and other researcher data? Select one. O Only certain studies need to keep participant information confidential. O Anonymity protects the research participant from being discriminated against in the event another agency/entity has access to the raw data. O It is not necessary for respondents to remain anonymous in research. O In double blind studies, the participant does not need to remain anonymous.arrow_forwardThe state of Georgia's HOPE scholarship program guarantees fully paid tuition to Georgia public universities for Georgia high school seniors who have a B average in academic requirements as long as they maintain a B average in college. It was reported that 73 out of the 137 randomly selected students entering Ivan Allen College at Georgia Tech (social science and humanities) with a HOPE scholarship lost the scholarship at the end of the first year because they had a GPA of less than 3.0. It was also reported that 72 of a random sample of 111 students enterin the College of Computing with a B average had lost their HOPE scholarship by the end of the first year. Is there convincing evidence that the proportion who lose HOPE scholarships is different for the College of Computing than for the Ivan Allen College?

How common is it? A survey of 119 randomly selected U.S. college students collected information on drinking behavior and alcohol-related problems. The researchers defined “frequent binge drinking” as having five or more drinks in a row three or more times in the past two weeks. According to this definition, 41 students were classified as frequent binge drinkers. Use the data to construct and interpret a 98% confidence interval for the percentage of students who are “frequent binge drinking”.

The current standardized version, the MMPI-2, is used by trained professionals to assist in identifying personality structure and psychopathology. A forensic psychologist is interested in whether she can identify potential serial killers by their MMPI profiles. She is particularly interested in the Paranoia and Infrequency scales of the MMPI. She interviews 12 people who have already been identified as serial killers. Their scores on the Paranoia scale are recorded here: 69 84 56 89 47 63 86 58 74 35 71 60 ll Which of the following is a possible value for the range?arrow_forwardwhat kind of statistical data might a barglar alarm company employ in trying to convince urdban homeowers to purchase its productsarrow_forward
