Question
Dr. Doofenshmirtz is interested to know how his latest evil invention, the Evil-inator, influences people’s evil tendencies, compared to his last invention, the Meanie-inator. He randomly assigns 10 people to be zapped by the Evil-inator and another 10 to be zapped by his Meanie-inator. He assesses their evil tendencies on a scale of 1 – 100, with higher scores indicating more evil tendencies. Which test would Dr. Doofenshmirtz use to see whether the Evil-inator makes people more evil than the Meanie-inator?
Group of answer choices

- A researcher has participants expecting to receive either painful or mild electrical shocks during a study wait in a quarter-full waiting room with other participants. He then measures whether they choose to sit next to other participants or if they sit far away on their own. What is the best test to run for this study and why?arrow_forwardSome people seem to believe that you can fix anything with duct tape. Even so, many were skeptical when researchers announced that duct tape may be a more effective and less painful alternative than liquid nitrogen, which doctors routinely use to freeze warts. An article described a study conducted at a medical center. Patients with warts were randomly assigned to either the duct tape treatment or the more traditional freezing treatment. Those in the duct tape group wore duct tape over the wart for 6 days, then removed the tape, soaked the area in water, and used an emery board to scrape the area. This process was repeated for a maximum of 2 months or until the wart was gone. Data consistent with values in the article are summarized in the following table.

After cyclozocine had removed the addicts' physical dependence on heroin, they were asked a batter of questions to assess their psychological dependence. The test scores are called Q-Scores and high values represent less psychological dependence. The Q-Scores were as follows: 51, 53,43, 36, 55, 55, 39, 43, 45, 27, 21.26, 22,43 Prom past experience, the mean score for addicts who have not had a cyclozocine treatment is about 28. Is cyclozocine an effective treatment for psychological dependence?arrow_forward
- Betsy is interested in predicting how many 75-year-olds will develop Alzheimer’s disease and is using as predictors level of education and general physical health graded on a scale from 1 to 10. But she is interested in using other predictor variables as well. Answer the following questions:What criteria should she use in the selection of other predictors? Why?Name two other predictors that you think might be related to the development of Alzheimer’s disease.With the four predictor variables—level of education and general physical health and the two new ones that you named in (b)—draw out what the model of the regression equation would look like.arrow_forwardYour math teacher Ms. Washington notices that students with calculators do better on her math tests than those without calculators. To test her hypothesis, she randomly chooses 20 students and tracks their progress. She then gives 10 of those students a calculator and after a period of times compares progress again. The calculator group showed an increase. Which fact would lead you to believe that the relationship between calculator and progress may be one of causation? Tim’s scores decreased with the calculator. Tom’s scores increased with the calculator. A control group was used and the subjects were chosen randomly. Tammy’s scores did not change with the calculator.arrow_forwardAn experimenter investigated the effects of blue light exposure on people’s sleep quality. Researchers get 50 people and randomly assign 25 people to be exposed to blue light for 20 min. before bed and the other 25 people to have no blue light exposure 25 min. before bed. Each participant is sent to bed at 10pm and woken up at 7am the next morning. When all participants are woken up, they must fill out a sleep quality questionnaire. The scores seen below represent participants’ sleep quality ratings where higher numbers indicate better sleep quality. Does the blue light exposure negatively impact sleep quality?

- In a recent poll six hundred adults were asked a series of questions about the state of the economy and their children's future. One question was, "do you expect your children to have a better life than you have had, a worse life, or a life about the same as yours?" Suppose the responses showed 246 better, 312 worse, and 42 about the same. Use the sign test and a = 0.05 to determine whether there is a difference between the number of adults who feel their children will have a better life compared to a worse life. State the null and alternative hypotheses. (Let p = the proportion of adults who feel their children will have a better life.)

- A psychologist conducted a survey of the attitude towards the sustainability of American energy consumption with 380380 randomly selected individuals several years ago. The psychologist believes that these attitudes have changed over time. To test this he randomly selects 380380 individuals and asks them the same questions. Can the psychologist confirm his theory that the attitudes have changed from the first survey to the second survey?

The Consumer Reports Restaurant Customer Satisfaction Survey is based upon 148,599 visits to full-service restaurant chains.t One of the variables in the study is meal price, the average amount paid per person for dinner and drinks, minus the tip. Suppose a reporter for a local newspaper thought that it would be of interest to her readers to conduct a similar study for restaurants located in her city. The reporter selected a sample of 8 seafood restaurants, 8 Italian restaurants, and 8 steakhouses. The following data show the meal prices ($) obtained for the 24 restaurants sampled.

Two pictures were taken with the same model, one in expensive clothes standing next to a new sports car, and the other in old clothes standing next to an old hatchback car. In an online survey, participants were randomly divided so that they saw one of the two pictures and were asked to rate the model's attractiveness on a scale of 1 to 10. Which statistical test would be best to determine if there is a significant difference between groups? one-sample t-test dependent samples t-test independent samples t-test ANOVAarrow_forward
