In a pilot study, participants responded to a survey on sexual attitudes (the BSAS). BSAS scores were median-split and participants were assigned to a low BSAS (Sexually Conservative coded a 1) or a high BSAS (Sexually Progressive, coded a 2) group. Participants then read a scenario which described a woman with either sexually conservative or progressive attitudes who is sexually assaulted on a date with a man. Finally, participants responded to a scale with measured the participant's personal similarity to the target. The item responses to this scale were combined into a composite score. What is the results?

A researcher uses a matched-samples design to investigate whether single people who own pets are generally happier than singles without pets. A mood inventory questionnaire is administered to a group of 20- to 29-year-old non-pet owners and a similar age group of pet owners. The pet owners are matched one to one with the non-pet owners for income, number of close friendships, and general health. The data are as follows: Matched pair Non-pet Owner Pet owner A 10 15 B 9 9 C 11 10 D 11 19 E 5 17 F 9 15 1. Is there a significant difference in the mood scores for non-pet owners versus pet owners? 2.What is the appropriate statistical tool? 3. t-value? 4. p-value? 5. Interpret the results.

A contributor for the local newspaper is writing an article for the weekly fitness section. To prepare for the story, she conducts a study to compare the exercise habits of people who exercise in the morning to the exercise habits of people who work out in the afternoon or evening. She selects three different health centers from which to draw her samples. The 57 people she sampled who work out in the morning have a mean of 4.8 hours of exercise each week. The 56 people surveyed who exercise in the afternoon or evening have a mean of 4.2 hours of exercise each week. Assume that the weekly exercise times have a population standard deviation of 0.8 hours for people who exercise in the morning and 0.3 hours for people who exercise in the afternoon or evening. Let Population 1 be people who exercise in the morning and Population 2 be people who exercise in the afternoon or evening. Step 1 of 2: Construct a 95 % confidence interval for the true difference between the mean amounts of time…

Bank of America's Consumer Spending Survey collected data on annual credit card charges in seven different categories of expenditures: transportation, groceries, dining out, household expenses, home furnishings, apparel, and entertainment. Using data from a sample of 42 credit card accounts, assume that each account was used to identify the annual credit card charges for groceries (population 1) and the annual credit card charges for dining out (population 2). Using the difference data, the sample mean difference was d = $850 , and the sample standard deviation was sd $1,123. a. Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses to test for no difference between the population mean credit card charges for groceries and the population mean credit card charges for dining out. Ho : ud - Select your answer- Ha : ud - Select your answer - Prl : b. Use a = 0.05 level of significance.

Reuben is a human resources executive for a technology company. He is deciding between two types of plans for vacation allowance for the employees of the company: Unlimited and Traditional. Reuben wants to determine, for workers in the tech industry, if the yearly mean number of vacation days taken by workers with an Unlimited plan is greater than the yearly mean number of vacation days taken by workers with a Traditional plan.Reuben surveys a random sample of 17 workers who have the Unlimited plan and a random sample of 15 workers who have the Traditional plan. (These samples are chosen independently.) For each worker, he records the number of vacation days taken last year. For the workers with an Unlimited plan, the sample mean is 18.9 with a sample variance of 30.8. For the workers with a Traditional plan, the sample mean is 17.4 with a sample variance of 6.1.Assume that the two populations of vacation days taken are approximately normally distributed. Can Reuben conclude, at the…

Please see below. I am only given one opportunity at this. Please help!! Successful hotel managers must have personality characteristics often thought of as feminine (such as "compassionate") as well as those often thought of as masculine (such as "forceful"). The Bem Sex-Role Inventory (BSRI) is a personality test that gives separate ratings for female and male stereotypes, both on a scale of 1 to 7. A sample of 148 male general mangers of three-star and four-star hotels had mean BSRI femininity score of 5.29 with a SD of 0.78. The mean score for the general male population is μ=5.19. Do hotel managers on the average differ significantly in femininity score from men in general?

A scientific study was conducted to determine the hours of sleep that college students get per night. The study surveyed 20 college students and obtained the following data:8, 8.3, 7.8, 7.7, 8.6, 8.1, 7.7, 8.5, 8.1, 8.2, 8.2, 7.9, 8.5, 7.9, 8.3, 8.2, 7.8, 7.8, 7.8, 7.7Assuming the population standard deviation is σ=0.31σ=0.31, construct a 86% confidence interval for the average hours of sleep per night that college students get.xˉ=x̄=α2=α2=zα2=zα2=Margin of Error: E=E=We are 86% confident that college students get an average of between  hours and  hours of sleep per night.

Willerman et al. (1991) collected a sample of 40 right-handed Anglo introductory psychology students at a large southwestern university. Subjects took four subtests (Vocabulary, Similarities, Block Design, and Picture Completion) of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (1981). The researchers used Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to determine the brain size of the subjects. The research hypothesis was that brain size is correlated with IQ. The data are below: Participant 1 2 3 4 6 17 8 Which statistical test would you select: Pearson Correlation Ho: p = 0 H₁: p = 0 ◆ ◆ Enter the data above into and JAMOVI and use the correct statistical procedure to test the null hypothesis - answer the following questions: What is the coefficient that indicates the strength of the relationship? r ◆ = 0 What is the standard error?

2. In studying the effect of a drug for treating patients with respiratory problems, a researcher obtained a sample of 12 consenting patients, who, after discussion with their doctor, chose a respiratory drug they would receive. Patients' respiratory tests were assessed twice over a two-month period after initiating the treatment. Research question: The researcher wants to know if there is a significant difference between the group in their second test and those that didn't take the drug in their overall mean of 3.35 in average respiratory scores with a standard deviation of .08. Is there a difference between the two means - does the drug work? Carry out 9 steps of hypothesis testing. Respiratory Test 2 3.4 3.4 3.3 3.4 3.3 3.3 3.3 3.2 3.2 3.2 3.2 3.3 Σ-39.5

The Economist collects data each year on the price of a Big Mac in various countries around the world. The price of a Big Mac for a sample of McDonalds restaurants in Europe in May 2009 resulted in the following Big Mac prices (after conversion to U.S. dollars):3.80 5.89 4.92 3.88 2.65 5.57 6.39 3.24The mean price of a Big Mac in the U.S. in May 2009 was $3.57. For purposes of this exercise, assume it is reasonable to regard the sample as representative of European McDonalds restaurants. Does the sample provide convincing evidence that the mean May 2009 price of a Big Mac in Europe is greater than the reported U.S. price? Test the relevant hypotheses using a = .05.
