3. A psychologist wants to determine which of three advertisements is most likely to encourage teens not to drink. To assess the impact of each ad, he asks a sample of teenagers to view each ad and to rate its effectiveness on a scale of 1 (not at all effective) to 7 (very effective). One ad used words only (no-cues condition), a second ad used a generic abstract picture (generic-cues condition), and a third showed a picture of a teen drinking and impacts (smoking-related cues condition).

Compute post-hoc tests, if appropriate. b. Compute n².

Rhino viruses typically cause common colds. In a test of the effectiveness of echinacea, 42 of the 48 subjects treated with echinacea developed rhinovirus infections. In a placebo group, 93 of the 109 subjects developed rhinovirus infections. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that echinacea has an effect on rhinovirus infections. Complete parts (a) through (c) below.

A researcher gathered a sample of participants who volunteered for a studying of phobias. She measured anxiety level of participants as they viewed photos of spiders and again when they viewed puppies. Which statistical test is appropriate for this study and why?

Read the scenario below to determine which one of the time threats to internal validity (test reactivity, instrumentation, history, and maturation) is of most concern, and provide one way to control for the threat. A researcher examines students' perception of their body image by conducting a 2-year longitudinal study of middle-school students (grades 6 - 8).  Body image is measured using a scale and the same scale is measured under the same conditions at the beginning and end of the study.

In an early study of the effects of frustration on feelings of hostility, Miller and Bugelski (1948) had a group of boys at a camp rate their attitudes toward two groups (Mexicans and Japanese). The campers then participated in a long, difficult, frustrating testing session that kept them away from their weekly movie. Finally the boys again rated their attitudes towards the minority groups. The scores below represent the number of unfavorable traits attributed to minorities and are similar to those of miller and Bugelski.    Participant   Before          After    A                  5                    6    B                  4                    4    C                  3                    5    D                  3                    4    E                  2                    4    F                  2                     3    G                 1                    3    H                 0                    2   a.

2. A researcher wants to determine which of three advertisements is most likely to encourage teens not to smoke. To assess the impact of each advertisement, she asks a sample of teenagers to view each ad and to rate the ad's effectiveness on a scale of 1 (not at all effective) to 7 (very effective). One ad used words only (no-cues condition), a second ad used a generic abstract picture (generic-cues condition), and a third showed a picture of a teen smoking and coughing (smoking-related cues condition).

You are a sales manager for a grocery store, and you want to see if the introduction of a new sales promotion will increase the sales in your store. To do so, you decided to create an experiment by giving a small sample of customers the promotion before expanding it to a larger customer base. You gave 18 people the promotion, and also observed the sales of 27 people who did not get the promotion as a control group. You found those who received the promotion to have an average monthly sales of $456.60, with a sample standard deviation of $52.23. You found those who did not receive the promotion had an average monthly sales of $361.46, with a sample standard deviation of $56.11. Suppose you want to use hypothesis testing (two-sample test) to investigate if the promotion has increased the sales of your store. Using the order promotion no promotion in your hypothesis test, what is the value of the test statistic for your analysis? Note: 1- Only round your final answer. Round your final…

Dr. Mackintosh believes a new olfactory therapy would be more successful in promoting weight loss among obese patients. His patients are first weighed and then randomly assigned to olfactory therapy, dance therapy, or a control condition. At the end of the three weeks, the amount of weight lost is recorded. The results indicate no significant difference in the amount of weight lost between the three conditions. Identify the independent variable along with each level and the dependent variable.

You are a manager for Company ABC and decide to compile data and analyze your employees’ level of satisifaction. You create a survey to ask each employee to rate their level of satisfaction working at Company ABC. Table 1 shows data of 15 people employees that responded to your survey. Each of the employees have the same job title: Sales Representative. The data set includes variables regarding an employee ID, gender, ethnicity, region, pay rate, employee satisfaction rating. Each employee was asked to rate their level of satisfaction working at Company ABC. A composite score from 0 (lowest) to 5 (highest) is shown as the data variable employee satisfaction. Table 1: Employee Data on 15 Sales Representatives at Company ABC

In a clinical trial of 2022 subjects treated with a certain drug, 21 reported headaches. In a control group of 1745 subjects given a placebo, 24 reported headaches. Denoting the proportion of headaches in the treatment group by p, and denoting the proportion of headaches in the control (placebo) group by pe, the relative risk is p/pe. The relative risk is a measure of the strength of the effect of the drug treatment. Another such measure is the odds ratio, which is the ratio of the odds in favor of a headache for the treatment group to the odds in favor of a headache for the control (placebo) group, found by evaluating Pt/(1-Pt) The relative risk and odds ratios are commonly used in medicine and epidemiological studies. Find the relative risk and odds ratio for the Pc/(1-Pc) headache data. What do the results suggest about the risk of a headache from the drug treatment? Find the relative risk for the headache data. The relative risk = (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
