Chapter 9.1, Problem 24BB
Yawning and Fisher’s Exact Test In one segment of the TV series MythBusters, an experiment was conducted to test the common belief that people are more likely to yawn when they see others yawning. In one group, 34 subjects were exposed to yawning, and 10 of them yawned. In another group, 16 subjects were not exposed to yawning, and 4 of them yawned. We want to test the belief that people are more likely to yawn when they are exposed to yawning.
a. Why can’t we test the claim using the methods of this section?
b. If we ignore the requirements and use the methods of this section, what is the P-value? How does it compare to the P-value of 0.5128 that would be obtained by using Fisher’s exact test?
c. Comment on the conclusion of the Mythbusters segment that yawning is contagious.

- You are planning an experiment to determine the effect of the brand of gasoline and the weight of a car on gas mileage measured in miles per gallon. You will use a single test car, adding weights so that its total weight is 3000, 3500, or 4000 pounds. The car will drive on a test track at each weight using each of Amoco, Marathon, and Speedway gasoline. Which is the best way to organize the study? Start with 3000 pounds and Amoco and run the car on the test track. Then do 3500 and 4000 pounds. Change to Marathon and go through the three weights in order. Then change to Speedway and do the three weights in order once more. Start with 3000 pounds and Amoco and run the car on the test track. Then change to Marathon and then to Speedway without changing the weight. Then add weights to get 3500 pounds and go through the three gasolines in the same order.Then change to 4000 pounds and do the three gasolines in order again.
