A neuroscientist is interested in testing the effects of environment on dendritic branching in the hippocampus (dendrites increase the receptivity of neurons and may be an important basis of cognition). Tc test this, he took one group of rats (n = 11) and housed them in an "enriched" environment (consisting of a large box with tunnels to run through, toys to play with, etc.) and then he took another group of rats (n=11) and housed them in an "isolate" environment (rats were housed alone without any tunnels or toys). After 6 weeks, the number of dendritic spines in a particular region of the hippocampus from these rats was image and counted. The results are below. Did the different housing conditions have an effect on the number of dendrite branches? Solve using the steps in hypothesis testing. Mean number of dendrites Enriched condition 40 (Estimated) 10 Standard Deviation Isolate condition 10 4

Anna Fisher and colleagues (Fisher et al., 2014) predicted that kindergarten students should learn better in undecorated classrooms compared to decorated classrooms, because students should be less distracted in sparse classrooms without distractions such as posters, maps, children's artwork, etc. They had a group of 12 kindergarten age children participate in a science lesson in a classroom without decorations and a classroom with decorations. The students took a test on the material immediately after each lesson (scores range from 0 to 20). Below are the number of correct responses on both tests for each child.

Which model—the one for parliaments or the one for ministries (or cabinets)—presented in the article has the greater explanatory power? How can you tell?
A gender psychologist is interested in studying whether children, when left on their own, actually show more interest in toys associated with their assigned gender. The psychotherapist allows the participants (n = 16) to move freely back and forth for 40 minutes between two rooms, one of which contains toys traditionally associated with girls and another which contains toys traditionally associated with boys. She collects the data and finds that on average the children spend 23 minutes in the room (M = 23) with the toys associated with their assigned gender, with a standard deviation of s = 9. She conducts a one-tailed test and sets the alpha at .05. The alternative hypothesis is μ > ______ What is the critical t? _________ Calculate the t value and round to 2 decimals: _______ With alpha = .05. can she reject the null (type yes or no)? _______
