tablet users sampled used their device to check social media unrelated to the video content while watching TV.

- To determine the amount of sugar in a typical serving of breakfast cereal, a student randomly selected 60 boxes of different types of cereal from the shelves of a large grocery store. The student noticed that the side panels of some of the cereal boxes showed sugar content based on one-cup servings, while others showed sugar content based on three- quarter-cup servings. Many of the cereal boxes with side panels that showed three-quarter-cup servings were ones that appealed to young children, and the student wondered whether there might be some difference in the sugar content of the cereals that showed different-size servings on their side panels. To investigate the question, the data were separated into two groups. One group consisted of 29 cereals that showed one-cup serving sizes; the other group consisted of 31 cereals that showed three-quarter cup serving sizes. The boxplots shown below display sugar content (in grams) per serving of the cereals for each of the two serving sizes.…arrow_forwardAccording to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) sponsored by the U.S. government, a random sample of 712 males between 20 and 29 years of age and a random sample of 1,001 males over the age of 75 were chosen and the weight of each of the males were recorded (in kg). Do the data provide evidence that the younger male population weighs more (on average) than the older male population? Use “Y” for ages 20-29 and “S” for ages 75+. It was found that x̅Y=83.4, sY=18.7, x̅S=78.5, and sS=19.0. a)Suppose the test statistic is t = 2.398. What is the associated p-value?

She invited student volunteers to perform an online memory task. The students saw a list of 60 words and were then asked to recognize a list of 10 words that were on the original list. Students were also asked to provide their GPAs. Consider the following data set, which was collected from student volunteers in 2009. The table gives the frequency for five intervals of scores on the number of correctly identified words. Use the dropdown menus to complete the table by filling in the missing values for the proportions and percentages.

- 5t. A magazine reports that women trust recommendations from a particular social networking site more than recommendations from any other social network platform. But does trust in this social networking site differ by gender? The following sample data show the number of women and men who stated in a recent sample that they trust recommendations made on this particular social networking site. Women Men Sample 150 170 Trust RecommendationsMade on the social networking site 111 102 (a) What is the point estimate of the proportion of women who trust recommendations made on this particular social networking site? (b) What is the point estimate of the proportion of men who trust recommendations made on this particular social networking site? (c) Provide a 95% confidence interval estimate of the difference between the proportion of women and men who trust recommendations made on this particular social networking site.

One question asked women: “Are most men basically kind, gentle, and thoughtful"? The earlier survey revealed that, of the 3550 women surveyed, 2350 said that they were. In the later survey, 2250 of the 3550 women surveyed thought that men were kind, gentle, and thoughtful. Can we conclude that women think men are less kind, gentle, and thoughtful in the later survey compared with the earlier one? Use 0.01 significance level. Calculate and interpret the p-value. a. State the decision rule. (Negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Round the final answer to 3 decimal places.) The decision rule is to reject Ho if z is less than b. Compute the pooled proportion. (Round the final answer to 2 decimal places.) The pooled proportion is: c. Compute the value of the test statistic.

They then asked participants how they thought their own numbers compared to other people's: Did participants see themselves as less social, the same as, or more social than others? In the first study, the researchers reported that: "Three hundred four participants from Amazon's Mechanical Turk (150 women; Mage = 37.1; 78% White, 10% Black, and 6% Asian) completed a survey in exchange for modest payment" (p. 860). What do the researchers mean by "Amazon's Mechanical Turk" with respect to their sample of participants? O A. An archival data set that already exists and from which researchers can use data O B. An online tool that researchers can use to recruit people to participate in research in exchange for a small payment O C.
