In a study to determine whether or not listening to classical music has a positive effect on math performance, 100 students were randomly assigned to two groups. Both groups received the same instruction in mathematics from the same teacher. One group listened to classical music while studying and the other group studied in silence. Both groups were then administered the same 50 point exam. Which of the following procedures would be most appropriate for determining which studying environment was more effective in increasing math performance? (A) A t-test for the slope of the regression line. (B) A matched pairs t-test. (C) A two-sample z-test for proportions. (D) A two-sample t-test for means. (E) A chi-square test for independence.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the official unemployment rate for Black people was 10.4% and 4.7% for White people in February 2015. Select all correct answers for this question. O The samples of white and black people are independent. The explanatory variable is the unemployment rate. The response variable is the unemployment rate. The response variable is race.

To investigate how people communicate over the internet, a researcher had subjects write messages in an online forum. She split her sample of 76 participants into young adults and older adults based on their age. She then compared how many emojis and emoticons the young adults used in their messages compared to the older adults. What is the best test to analyze the results of this study? One Sampe Z Test One Sample t Test Independent Samples t Test Dependent Samples t Test

In a study assessing helping behavior among college students on their way to class, you recruit 10 students. You tell some participants that they are late for class and need to rush. You tell others they are right on time. Finally, you tell others they have lots of time before class. As they walk across campus, they come across a man (actually a confederate) who appears to need help. You measure the extent to which the participant noticed that the confederate needed help (1 = did not notice to 9 = really noticed). Which hypothesis test would you calculate? F test Independent sample t-test z test Dependent sample t-test

hi, could you please help me with solving this problem? thank you

An experiment to determine the most effective way to teach safety principles applied four different teaching methods. Some employees were given programmed instruction booklets and worked through the course at their own pace. Other employees attended lectures. A third group watched a television presentation, and a fourth group was divided into small discussion groups. A high of 10 was possible. A sample of five tests was selected from each group. The test grade results were:  Sample Number Programmed Instruction Lecture TV Group Discussion 1 6 8 7 8 2 7 5 9 5 3 6 8 6 6 4 5 6 8 6 5 6 8 5 5 At the 0.01 level, what is the critical value?   Multiple Choice   1.00   1.96   3.24   5.29

What type of study is this? A first-year university unit wanted to give option of online teaching to determine whether online teaching improved learning outcomes. Students were allowed to enrol into online or on-campus classes. Grades at the end of semester were compared. Select one: O Experimental O Something else O Observational

A consumer group wanted to determine if there was a difference in customer perceptions about prices for a specific type of toy depending on where the toy was purchased.  In the local area there are three main retailers: W-Mart, Tag, and URToy.  For each retailer, the consumer group randomly selected 5 customers, and asked them to rate how expensive they thought the toy was on a 1-to-10 scale (1= not expensive, to 10 = very expensive). The toy was priced the same at all retail stores. 1. What kind of statistical test should be used to test the consumer group's research goal, assuming that the researcher wanted to use the 1-to-10 scale as a numerical interval measure? A. Repeated-measures t-test B. One-way Independent Measures ANOVA C. Repeated-measures ANOVA D. Independent-measures t-test   2. State the hypothesis that aims to test the consumer group’s research goal (i.e., what is H0 and HA).

A research study wanted to examine whether religious belief and gender are related in their state. They selected a representative sample of men and women in their State.Select the null and alternative hypothesis of the test: H0: there is no relationship between gender and belief about human originsHa: there is a relationship between gender and belief about human origins   H0: there is a relationship between gender and belief about human originsHa: there is no relationship between gender and belief about human origins     Results of the study are summarized in this table for the Belief about human origins:   religious texts evolutionary theory total male 30 36 66 female 110 89 199 total 140 125 265 The degrees of freedom for the the ?2 statistic are Round the following numbers to two places after the decimal:The test statistic is ?2 =  with a p-value =  The conclusion of the test at the 5% significance level is There is not enough statistical evidence to suggest that gender…

An educational psychologist is interested in whether using a child’s own name in a story affected attention span while reading. Six children were randomly assigned to read a story under ordinary conditions (using common and generic names). Five other children read versions of the same story, but with each child’s ownname substituted for one of the children in the story. The researcher measured the amount of time (in minutes) each child spent reading the story. The results are shown in the following table. Does including the child’s namemake any difference in attention span?   Test the hypothesis at an alpha set to .05, following these steps: a) write the null and alternative hypotheses; b) determine the critical value(s); c) draw the comparison distribution with rejection region(s) shaded; d)use the correct formula to compute the test statistic; e) state the statistical decision; f) state a brief conclusion.
