A recent study investigated whether cell phone users experience separation anxiety when they cannot access their phones. Because blood pressure increases with anxiety, the researchers used systolic blood pressure as an operational measure of anxiety. The experiment involved a random sample of cell phone users that were divided into two groups at random. One group of participants completed a survey while their phones were locked in a cabinet in a separate room and the other group of participants completed the same survey while their phones were nearby. (The survey questions were unrelated to cell phone use.) At the end of the survey, the researchers measured each participant's systolic blood pressure. The same experiment was conducted in Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, and St. Zotique. The blood pressure data needed is below. Use these data to answer the following question: determine zalpha/2 for the 99% confidence interval around d for the data collected in toronto. Please answer to 5 decimal places.

- Makers of generic drugs are required to show that their generic drugs do not differ significantly from the “reference” or brand name drugs that they imitate. One aspect in which the generic drugs might differ is their extent of absorption in the blood. Twelve subjects were available for the study. Six were randomly selected to receive the generic drug first and then, after a washout period, receive the “reference” drug. The remaining six received the “reference” drug first, followed by the generic drug after the washout period. Suppose the t test statistic is t = 1.72. What is the p-value for a two-sided test? Group of answer choices 0.05 < p-value < 0.10 0.40 < p-value < 0.50 0.20 < p-value < 0.25 0.10 < p-value < 0.20arrow_forwardStrayer and colleagues have conducted many studies on the effects of cell phones on driver safety. In a typical study, participants are asked to drive through a neighbourhood in a driving simulator. Occasionally, and obstacle appears (a dog runs into the road, an area is closed off for construction, a traffic light suddenly turns red) and they measure the time required to brake (in seconds). In one study, 32 participants were randomly assigned to drive the route either in silence, or while talking to a confederate on a hands-free cell phone. Half the participants drove through a “novel” neighbourhood they had never seen before, and half drove through a simulation of their own neighbourhood. The JAMOVI analyses of this study are attached.

- Public relation companies conducted two surveys about deodorants. The first survey asked a random sample of 500 men about their use of a natural deodorant. A second survey asked the same questions to a random sample of 550 women. In these two studies, 68% of men and 44% of women stated they were dissatisfied with the effectiveness of natural deodorants. Use these results to answer the following questions about the proportion of men and women's satisfaction with natural deodorants. (Round to the nearest whole person as needed). Is there a statistically significant difference between men and women's satisfaction with natural deodorants? Yes, the proportion of men that are satisfied with natural deodorants is significantly less than the proportion of women that are satisfied with natural deodorants because both the lower limit and the upper limit of the confidence interval are positive values. Yes, the proportion of men that are satisfied with natural…arrow_forwardA psychologist is interested in whether hypnosis affects mood and emotion. 12 college students from the freshmen class are randomly sampled for an experiment. The experiment has two conditions which are given on different days. In condition 1, the students are hypnotized and then given a questionnaire which measures the levels of positive emotion. The higher the score indicates higher levels of positive emotion. In condition 2, the same students are given the questionnaire again, only this time they are not hypnotized but are in their normal state of consciousness. The following scores are obtained. Student 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Condition 1 30 17 23 28 43 28 16 15 13 17 21 31 Condition 2 24 3 14 11 15 12 4 10 29 14 10 22 (hint: refer to "Week 8 quiz_ answer key and solution" document on Blackboard) The non-directional alternative (H1) hypothesis is _________. hypnosis…arrow_forwardTelevision networks rely heavily on ratings of TV shows when deciding whether to renew a show for another season. Suppose a network has decided that "Miniature Golf with the Stars" will only be renewed if it can be established that more than 12% of U.S. adults watch the show. A polling company asks a random sample of 2000 U.S. adults if they watch "Miniature Golf with the Stars." The network uses the data to perform a test of Ho: p = 0.12 H₁ : p > 0.12 where p is the true proportion of all U.S. adults who watch the show. Which of the following is not true regarding Type I and Type II errors in this setting? A Type I occurs if the television network finds convincing evidence that the true proportion of U.S. adults who watch "Miniature Golf with the Stars" is greater than 0.12, when it is really equal to 0.12. The probability of making a Type II error would be reduced if a smaller a level was chosen. A possible consequence of a Type I error here is the show will renew for another season…arrow_forward

The researcher finds a group of experienced mountain climbers (n = 10) who volunteer to participate in the study. All of the climbers are tested at three different altitudes—at sea level (in the researchers’ laboratory at the University of California, San Diego), at the base camp (9,000 feet above sea level), and at 23,000 feet above sea level (at the peak of Mt. Denali in Alaska). At each location, the climbers perform a memory task (remember a list of 16 non-words like “biv”), and the accuracy of their memory is recorded (i.e., # of correctly recalled words). a. pls name the independent variable, dependent variable, levels of the IV, and the type of experiment design of this study (i.e., b/w- or w/i-subject design ) b. on what level of measurement is accuracy of memory assessed?

- The authors of a paper describe an experiment to evaluate the effect of using a cell phone on reaction time. Subjects were asked to perform a simulated driving task while talking on a cell phone. While performing this task, occasional red and green lights flashed on the computer screen. If a green light flashed, subjects were to continue driving, but if a red light Flashed, subjects were to brake as quickly as possible. The reaction time (in msec) was recorded. The following summary statistics are based on a graph that appeared in the paper. n = 49 x = 530 S = 65 USE SALT (a) Construct a 95% confidence interval for u, the mean time to react to a red light while talking on a cell phone. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) Interpret a 95% confidence interval for μ, the mean time to react to a red light while talking on a cell phone. We are 95% confident that the mean time to react to a red light while talking on a cell phone is between these two values. There is a 95% chance…arrow_forwardSwearing is a common, almost reflexive, response to pain. Whether you knock your shin into the edge of a coffee table or smash your thumb with a hammer, most of us respond with a streak of obscenities. One question, however, is whether swearing has any effect on the amount of pain that you feel. To address this issue, Stephens, Atkins, and Kingston (2009) conducted an experiment comparing swearing with other responses to pain. In the study, participants were asked to place one hand in icy cold water for as long as they could bear the pain. Half of the participants were told to repeat their favorite swear word over and over for as long as their hands were in the water. The other half repeated a neutral word. The researchers recorded how long each participant was able to tolerate the ice water. After a brief rest, the two groups switched words and repeated the ice water plunge. Thus, all the participants experienced both conditions (swearing and neutral) with half swearing on their first…arrow_forwardA statistics student at Pleasantville High School (PHS) looked at seat belt use by drivers. Customers were observed driving into a local convenience store. After the drivers left their cars, the student asked each driver several questions about seat belt use. In all, 80% of the drivers said that they always use seat belts. However, the student observed that only 61.5% of these same drivers were actually wearing a seat belt when they pulled into the store parking lot. Which of the following best explains the difference in the two percentages? (A) The difference is due to sampling variability. We shouldn't expect the results of a sample to match the truth about the population every time. (B) The difference is due to response bias. Drivers who don't use seat belts are likely to lie and say they do use seat belts. (C) The difference is due to undercoverage bias. The study included only customers of the convenience store and did not include all drivers in the population. (D) The difference…arrow_forward
