Question
. A variety of research results suggest that visual images interfere with visual perception. In one study, Segal and Fusella (1970) had participants watch screen, looking for a brief presentation of a small blue arrow. On some trials, the participants were also asked to form a mental image (for example, imagine a volcano). The results for a sample of n = 10, show that participants make an average of 7.5 more errors while forming images than while not forming images. The difference scores had SS = 70.
Do the data indicate a significant difference between the two conditions?
Use a one-tailed test with α = 0.01. (Use the four logical steps in hypothesis testing)

Their coach wanted to know if the exercises were in fact related to their time to complete the obstacle course. Time 1 was each athlete's time (in seconds) for 20 repetitions of shuttle runs (running back and forth between 2 cones placed 25 meters apart) during training. Time 2 was the same athlete's time (in seconds) to complete the obstacle course during the competition. If the coach wants to see if there was an association between time to complete 20 shuttle runs during training (in seconds) and the time to complete the obstacle course during competition (in seconds), which of the following is the appropriate inference method to analyze these data?arrow_forwardRead through this scenario and look at the data that was collected. State the null and all possible research hypotheses. Review the results below (I used SPSS) and answer the questions that follow. Scenario: A researcher wants to see if gender and / or income affects the total amount of help given to a stranger who is sitting on the side of a busy road with a sign asking for help. The independent variables are gender, income, and the interaction of gender and income. The dependent variable is total help. He wants to know if one or both factors – or the interaction of the two - affects the total amount of help offered. Because he is analyzing two independent variables (gender and income), he used a factorial ANOVA. His results show the main effect of each of the independent variables on the dependent variable (total help) and the interaction effect. The researcher is using a 95% confidence interval which means that he wants to be at least 95% sure that his independent variables…arrow_forward
- The question was investigated of whether pleasant aromas help a student learn better. All 21 participants learned both under a condition of smelling nothing and under a condition of smelling afloral scent. Counterbalancing was followed so that some participants learned without the scent first and some learned with the scent first. All participants were apprised that the scents were “safe” and that if they wished they could leave the study at any time. Data in terms of “time (in seconds) to complete a pencil and paper maze” are shown below Unscented-Trial Scented-Trial38.4 53.146.2 54.772.5 74.238.0 49.682.8 53.633.9 51.350.4 44.135.0 34.032.8 34.560.1 59.175.1 67.357.6 75.555.5…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 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.

- A psychologist would like to examine the effects of diet on intelligence. Two groups of rats are selected, with 12 rats in each group. One group is fed the regular diet of RAT CHOW, whereas the second group has their diet enhanced by the addition of special vitamins. After 6 months, each rat is tested on a discrimination task. The psychologist records the number of errors made by each rat before it solves the problem. The data from this experiment is as follows: Diet µ σ Score Regular diet 11.58 1.9 12 Special 8.25 1.35 15 Change each rat’s score to its z-score equivalent On which diet did the rat score in the highest position? On which diet did the rats score in the lowest position? What is the percentile rank of the rat’s error on a special?

In his dissertation Highway Construction Safety and the Aging Driver (1994), Solomon Younes investigated the distance at which drivers can first detect highway caution signs. This distance is called the detection distance. An experiment was conducted to determine the effects that sign size and sign material have on detection distance. Four drivers were randomly selected for each combination of sign size (small, medium, and large), and sign material (1, 2, and 3). Each driver covered the same stretch of highway at a constant speed during the same time of day, and the detection distance (in feet) was determined for the driver’s assigned caution sign. The data in the following table are based on the results of the experiment. a. the response variable b. the factors c. the levels of each factor d. the number of treatment combinations e. the experimental units f. the number of…arrow_forwardJust respond to the bolded question the SPSS results are in the picture. 4.

- A researcher is investigating the physical characteristics that influence whether a person's face is judged as beautiful. The researcher selects a photograph of a woman and then creates two modifications of the photo by (1) moving the eyes slightly farther apart and (2) moving the eyes slightly closer together. The original photograph and the two modifications are then shown to a sample of n = 150 college students, and each student is asked to select the "most beautiful" of the three faces. The distribution of responses was as follows: Original Photo Eyes Moved Apart Eyes Moved Together 51 72 27 Do the data indicate any significant preferences among the three versions of the photograph?

They decide that each of the four data scientists will take a quadrant of the park to collect a sample from as randomly as possible. They decide they will collect the sample during the winter, the time the elk herds are most stressed. They agree to trust each others professional judgement when it comes to the health of the individual elk in the herd. They will give each elk a grade out of 3pts: 1 pt for sick, 2pts for fair, and 3pts for healthy. They then share their data and compare to create a final report on the overall health of the elk in the park. In this scenario, what is the same for all samples (the control)?arrow_forwardA psychologist is interested in whether hypnosis affects brain dominance. Twelve 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 test which measures the relative dominance of the right and left hemispheres. The higher the score, the more dominant is the right hemisphere. In condition 2, the same students are given the test again, only this time they are not hypnotized but are in their normal state of consciousness. The following scores are obtained.
