Don Callan loves his new job teaching fourth grade at a large pub- lic school. Lately, though, he has been concerned about the ag- gression he sees on the playground. He hears his students talking about movies, TV shows, and games that sound very violent. Don decides to conduct a research study. He theorizes that "indirect" violence causes actual violence and aggression. His hy- pothesis is that children who encounter indirect violence at home will prefer violent images and behaviors at school. He prepares a note for parents describing his experiment, asking them to indicate how often their children play with vio- lent games and watch TV shows and movies that contain violence. He then plans to observe all his students for two weeks on the playground, keeping a record of any time they act aggressively. In addition, he plans to place violent and nonviolent games, comic books, and DVDS on a table and ask each child to pick one to

A researcher is interested in examining the relationship between ACT scores and college GPA.    Participant ACT  ?̅ = 29.67; ?? = 3.39 GPA  ?̅ = 3.30; ?? = .52 1 24 2.75 2 28 3.25 3 29 3.50 4 35 3.75 5 34 4.00 6 30 3.80 7 29 2.60 8 27 2.68 9 31 3.36 Predict the GPA from an ACT score of 22. Predict the GPA from an ACT score of 25. Find the standard error of the estimate. What does this tell you about your predictions?

3. Statistic or parameter ? a.Researchers want to determine what percentage of Maryland residents are in favor of the death penalty. Suppose that 7% of a random sample of 1200 residents are in favor of the death penalty. This percentage (7%) would represent statistic/parameter b. The online MBA director at a large business school surveys a sample of current students to determine their level of satisfaction with the program. She finds that 67% of them are "very satisfied" with the online program. This result is statistic/parameter. c. All the third graders in a county were asked to complete a survey about who likes vanilla ice cream. 90% response was in favor of the flavor. This is statistic/parameter. d. The average Statistics test scores of all students in in PGCC a. A study took a group of adults and randomly divided them into two groups. One group was told to drink tea every night for a week, while the other group was told not to drink tea that week. Researchers then compared when…

4. A community college wants to analyze the age and GPA of its students. Here is the data: Age 18 40 25 38 44 19 51 28 31 24 GPA 2.9 3.3 2.0 3.9 3.7 2.7 3.9 3.5 1.9 2.9 3.4 Can we say that there is a significant relationship between these variables? (Use a = %3D .05) Type of Test: Null Hypothesis: Alternate Hypothesis: SE: Test Statistic: P-value: Decision: Sentence: 21

Does more education lower a person’s level of prejudice? The number of years of education and the score on a prejudice test for ten people is given in the following table. Higher scores on the test indicate more prejudice. Years of Education 12 15 14 13 18 10 16 12 10 4 Score on Prejudice Test 1 6 2 3 2 4 1 5 5 10   Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if there is a significant linear correlation between the two variables. What is the decision for this hypothesis test?  Reject the null because the absolute value of the test statistic is greater than the critical value and the p-value is less than alpha.  Fail to reject the null because the absolute value of the test statistic is less than the critical value and the p-value is greater than alpha.  Reject the null because the absolute value of the test statistic is less than the critical value and the p-value is less than alpha.  Fail to reject the null because the absolute value of the test statistic is greater than the…

What is the meaning of each below type of hypothesis?  Causal Hypothesis  Correlational hypothesis  Descriptive hypothesis  Relational hypothesis

1. Write a complete paragraph in APA format describing the research question and your results.   Question: A social psychologist records the number of outbursts among students at two schools. Assuming the same number of students were observed at each school, what is the sample size at each school, the decision to retain or reject the null hypothesis) and the effect size for this study based on the following statement? The number of outbursts among students at the small school (M=3) was significantly less than the number recorded at the large school (M = 5) f(38) =4.19, p < .05(d = 0.25 ).   Results: sample size = 20 for each school For a two tailed test and df = 38, at 0.05 significance level, t = 2.023 (from t distribution table) Here, the critical value is less than t obtained (t2.023 < 4.19) Hence, we reject the null hypothesis at a 5% significance level Given that d = 0.25 => effect size is medium (since 0.2<d<0.8 for medium) Therefore, the study showed a medium…

Welcome to my favorite game: Is it Correlational (Descriptive or Predictive) or Experimental? I am going to describe a study below. Your task is to identify whether this study is either correlational or experimental. If it is correlational, further indicate whether it is descriptive or predictive. Guidry et al. (2020) conducted a survey of 788 US adults on their willingness to get the COVID-19 vaccine. The results found that race (specifically, being Black) was related to less willingness to receive vaccine. Is this study design correlational (if correlational, also indicate if it is descriptive or predictive) or experimental?
