Question
Transcribed Image Text:A researcher selects a sample of 6 men and 11 women. She asks participants
to rate the likelihood they would do female-stereotyped jobs (such as nursing
or school teaching) on a scale from 1 = not likely at all to 5 = very likely. Men
indicated that they would be less likely to do these jobs (M = 2.1) compared
with women (M = 4.3). What is the weighted mean for the combined sample of
17 total participants?

One way to answer this question is to look at row B, the annual company percentage increase in revenue, versus row A, the CEO's annual percentage salary increase in that same company. Suppose that a random sample of companies yielded the following data: Do these data indicate that the population mean percentage difference in corporate revenue (row B) is different from the population mean percentage increase in CEO salary? Use a 1% level of significance. (A) Are the data statistically significant at level α? Will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Since the interval containing the P-values has values that are larger than the level of significance, the data are not statistically significant and so we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

- A graduate student is interested in how viewing different types of scenes affects working memory. For his study, he selects a random sample of 36 adults. The subjects complete a series of working memory tests before and after walking in an urban setting. Before the walk, the mean score on the test of working memory was 9.1. After the walk, the mean score was 1.4 higher. The graduate student has no presupposed assumptions about how viewing different types of scenes affects working memory, so he formulates the null and alternative hypotheses as: H00 : μDD = 0 H11 : μDD ≠ 0 Assume that the data satisfy all of the required assumptions for a repeated-measures t test. The graduate student calculates the following statistics for his hypothesis test: Mean difference (MDD) 1.4 Estimated population standard deviation of the differences (s) 1.6 Estimated standard error of the mean differences (sMDMD) 0.2667 Degrees of freedom (df) 35 The t statistic 5.25 The critical values of t…arrow_forwardA researcher is studying the effects of the college experience on attitudes, values, and behaviors and is comparing random samples of freshman and seniors at the same university.

- From candy to jewelry to flowers, the average consumer was expected to spend $104.63 for Mother’s Day in 2005, according to a Democrat & Chronicle article. Local merchants thought this average was too high for their area. They contracted an agency to conduct a study. A random sample of 60 consumers was taken at a local shopping mall the Saturday before Mother’s Day and produced the sample mean amount of $94.27. If σ = $29.50, does the sample provide sufficient evidence to support the merchants’ claim at the 0.03 level of significance? 1.
