Are seatbelts effective at saving lives? We wish to examine whether or not the use of seatbelts reduces
fatalities at the a = 0.01 level of significance. Let pN represent the proportion of non-seatbelt wearing
passengers who were involved in a crash and died and py represent the proportion of seatbelt wearing
passengers who were involved in a crash and died.
NOTE: The data used in this study were obtained through observational study...no experiment was
conducted!
Which would be correct hypotheses for this test?
O Ho:PN = pY, H1:PN > pY
Ho: PN = pY, H,:PN Py
In a random sample of 321 non-seatbelt wearing passengers involved in a car crash, 30 were killed. In a
random sample of 492 seatbelt wearing passengers involved in a car crash, 13 were killed.
Find the test statistic (2 decimal places):
Give the P-value (4 decimal places - if less than 0.001 answer 0):

Hypnosis and Pain. In the paper “An Analysis of Factors That Contribute to the Efficacy of Hypnotic Analgesia” (Journal of Abnormal Psychology, Vol. 96, No. 1, pp. 46–51), D. Price and J. Barber examined the effects of hypnosis on pain. They measured response to pain using a visual analogue scale (VAS), in centimeters, where higher VAS indicates greater pain. VAS sensory ratings were made before and after hypnosis on each of 16 subjects. A hypothesis test is to be performed to decide whether, on average, hypnosis reduces pain.
a. identify the variable.
b. identify the two populations.
c. identify the pairs.
d. identify the paired-difference variable.
e. determine the null and alternative hypotheses.
f. classify the hypothesis test as two tailed, left tailed, or right tailed.
Sociodemographic differences in lung cancer worry. Hahn (2017) evaluated sociodemographic differences in how people worry about lung cancer. Some of the differences observed across demographic of interest were between males and females [t[45]=0.69; higher mean worry among men], smokers and nonsmokers [t[45]=2.69; higher mean worry among smokers]. However, at least one of these results were not statistically significant. Use the information provided to state which t test or t test did not reach the .05 level of significance in this study.
(a) Compute the proportion of variance using omega-squared.
(b) Suppose the pooled sample standard deviation for this test is 0.74. Using this value, compute estimated Cohen's d.

- 27. No Variation in a Sample An experiment was conducted to test the effects of alcohol. Re- searchers measured the breath alcohol levels for a treatment group of people who drank ethanol and another group given a placebo. The results are given below (based on data from "Effects of Alcohol Intoxication on Risk Taking, Strategy, and Error Rate in Visuomotor Performance," by Streufert et al., Journal of Applied Psychology, Vol. 77, No. 4).

The GA scale, which is a scale from 0 to 10, measures the "general anxiety" of an individual, with higher GA scores corresponding to more anxiety. We'd like to make predictions about individuals' sleep behavior based on their GA scores. We've collected bivariate data that give the GA score (denoted by x) and the number of hours of sleep last night (denoted by y) for each of the 11 adults participating in a study. The least-squares regression equation for our data is y = 8.92-0.25x. We have used this equation to predict tonight's sleep time for a woman whose GA score is 6.2. We're now interested in both a prediction interval for her sleep time and a confidence interval for the mean sleep time of individuals with her GA score. We have computed the following for our data. • mean square error (MSE)≈ 0.601 (6.2-x)² ● 11 + 11 2 Σ (x₁ - x)² i=1 ≈ 0.1110, where x₁, x2, Lower limit: X11 Based on this…arrow_forwardOst watched Ani...
