Let’s say a psychologist suspects that emotions affect people’s eating habits, but that the eating habits of anxious people are affected differently. Ten highly anxious subjects are randomly divided into two equal-sized groups, one of which views a horror movie while the other watches a comedy. Ten non-anxious control subjects are similarly divided. The number of ounces of popcorn eaten by each subject during the movie is recorded.​How many independent variables are there in this design?​​Name each of the factors and levels (using appropriate descriptors from the paragraph):​How many total conditions (groups) are there in this design?​Name the dependent variable:

You may need to use the appropriate technology to answer this question. 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. Italian Seafood Steakhouse $13 $16 $24 13 18 19 15 17 23 16 26 25 17 22 22 19 15 21 17 18 26 26 20 32 Use a = 0.05 to test whether there is a significant difference among the mean meal price for the three types of restaurants. State the null and alternative hypotheses. O Ho: Hitalian = HSeafood = Hsteakhouse H: Not all the population…

x Resorts & Spas, a magazine devoted to upscale vacations and accommodations, published its Reader's Choice List of the top 20 independent beachfront boutique hotels in the world. The data shown are the scores received by these hotels based on the results from Resorts & Spas' annual Readers' Choice Survey. Each score represents the percentage of respondents who rated a hotel as excellent or very good on one of three criteria (comfort, amenities, and in-house dining). An overall score was also reported and used to rank the hotels. The highest ranked hotel, the Muri Beach Odyssey, has an overall score of 94.3, the highest component of which is 97.7 for in-house dining. If required, round your answer to three decimal places.

The premiere of Game of Thrones' seventh season set a series record of 10.1 million viewers tuning in to the live broadcast, and the season finale got even more than that at 12.1 million. A researcher at HBO believes that the average number of viewers watching live is not equal to the average number of those streaming online. The data below demonstrate a sample the number of of people watching live for each episode and the number of people streaming for each of the same episode.  Episode Live (millions) Streaming (millions) Season 1 Episode 1 2.9 0.7 Season 3 Episode 4 8.4 5.0 Season 5 Episode 1 8.7 6.3 Season 5 Episode 5 8.6 6.0 Season 6 Episode 3 9.3 8.4 Season 7 Episode 1 10.11 6.4 Season 7 Episode 5 10.72 6.7 Season 7 Episode 7  12.10 7.5 Based on the results of your t-test, can we conclude that the mean number of people viewing live is different from the mean number of people streaming online?    Group of answer choices a) No, because the p value is greater…

It is often useful for retailers to determine why their potential customers chose to visit their store. Possible reasons include advertising, advice from a friend, or previous experience. To determine the effect of full-page advertisements in the local newspaper, the owner of an electronic-equipment store asked  randomly selected people who visited the store whether they had seen the ad. He also determined whether the customers had bought anything, and if so, how much they spent. Among the respondents who saw the ad, 49 made an average purchase of $97.38 with a variance of $622. Among the respondents who did not see the ad, 21 made an average purchase of  $92.01 with a variance of $283.3. Can the owner conclude that customers who see the ad spend more than those who do not see the ad (among those who make a purchase) at 5% significance level?     Population:  One Two Multiple       Formula #: Answer  Hypothesis Null H0 : (μ, π, σ², μd, μ1 - μ2, π1- π2, σ₁²…

A company wishes to evaluate the effect of package design on one of its products, a certain brand of cereal. The four package designs are to be tested in different stores throughout a large city. There are 20 stores available for the study. The amount of cereal sold is known to vary depending on the size of the stores. The 20 stores are divided into five groups of four stores each by size. The following sales figures ($1000s) were obtained after a 1-month period. Stores Design A Design B Design C Design D 1 40 33 37 38 2 45 27 32 40 3 43 31 30 41 4 44 38 40 42 5 56 45 49 42 Enter the above data into a suitable software and then conduct an analysis of variance without blocking to test whether there is evidence of a significant difference in mean sales of different package designs. Use alpha=0.01. What is the conclusion for the null hypothesis that all treatment means are equal? O Do not reject HO. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the average sales for all stores are not…

New research on the effects of social media usage has been mixed. Some studies have found that social media helps people stay connected to others, and can be a positive source of social support. Other studies have found that social media makes people feel lonely and unhappy. I decide to do my own study to see whether social media has an effect on how many close friends people have. I conduct an internet survey of 1000 people and ask them how many hours a week they spend on social media and how many close friends they have. In the study respondents spent 10 hours a week using social media, and had 4 close friends, on average. The standard deviations for social media usage and close friends were 4 hours and 2 friends, respectively.  The correlation (r) between social media and friends was -.3.

A telephone service representative believes that the proportion of customers completely satisfied with their local telephone service is different between the South and the Midwest. The representative's belief is based on the results of a survey. The survey included a random sample of 11601160 southern residents and 12601260 midwestern residents. 43%43% of the southern residents and 56%56% of the midwestern residents reported that they were completely satisfied with their local telephone service.
