Question
In a experiment on relaxation techniques, subject's brain signals were measured before and after the relaxation exercises with the following results:
Is there sufficient evidence to suggest that the relaxation exercise slowed the brain waves? (Use α=0.05)
Person | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
Before | 31 | 38 | 64 | 51 | 31 |
After | 26 | 36 | 58 | 49 | 24 |
Is there sufficient evidence to suggest that the relaxation exercise slowed the brain waves? (Use α=0.05)
a) Reject the null hypothesis which states there is no change in brain waves in favor of the alternate which states the brain waves slowed after relaxation.
b) Fail to reject the null hypothesis which states there is no change in brain waves.
c) There is not enough information to make a conclusion.

- The following data show the pattern of results that was obtained in a study by Liguori and Robinson (2001) examining how different levels of alcohol and caffeine consumption influenced response time in a simulated driving test. The means show the average response time in milliseconds for different combinations of alcohol and caffeine. Remember larger reaction time means someone is slower to respond. For these data, indicate which are true/false There is an interaction, caffeine has a larger impact on reaction times (makes people respond faster) when participants haven’t had alcohol) A. True B.

Seven subjects had their hearing checked both before and after they were in a dark, silent chamber. Hearing threshold is the minimum sound level you can detect.

- How is the hatching of water python eggs influenced by the temperature of the snake's nest? Researchers randomly assigned newly laid eggs to one of three water temperatures: hot, neutral, or cold. Hot duplicates the extra warmth provided by the mother python, and cold duplicates the absence of the mother. The table shows the result of the experiment. The researchers will use a chi-square test for homogeneity to analyze the findings.

All of the conditions are met for conducting a chi- square test for homogeneity. The data came from 3 groups in a randomized experiment. All expected counts are at least 5. The 10% condition is met. The 10% condition is not needed because the eggs were not randomly selected from the population.
