Question
A recent study indicates that simply giving college students (n=30) a pedometer can result in increased walking (Jackson & Howton, 2008). Students were given pedometers for a 12-week period, and asked to record the average number of steps per day during weeks 1, 6, and 12.

- Study A Use the following description of a research study to answer the next five questions. Researchers were were interested in promoting physical activity within the workplace. They recruited participants to join a team challenge encouraging ways to increase physical activity such as taking active breaks and taking the stairs. Participants either joined as a team or were assigned a team. These teams were then randomly assigned either to be the control group where they just received information about becoming more active or the team-building group, which received the same information as the control group but were encouraged to create a team name and bond as a team throughout the study. One outcome measure of the study was the number of flights of stairs that participants reported taking yesterday. Group Statistics Intervention Mean Std. Deviation Std.

- A high school teacher at a small private school assigns trigonometry practice problems to be worked on via the net. Students must use a password to access the problems, and the time of log-in and log-off is automatically recorded for the teacher. At the end of the week, the teacher examines the amount of time each student spent working on the assigned problems. The data is provided below in minutes.
