Practitioners of a controversial medical practice known as therapeutic touch claim that they can manipulate a person's human energy field to provide healing powers, without actually touching the patient's body. Emily Rosa, an 11-year-old in Colorado, recruited 21 practitioners of therapeutic touch in a study she conducted in 1996

Tim is interested in studying whether Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an effective treatment for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Six people who were diagnosed with OCD participated in Tim's study, where he recorded the number of times they washed their hands per day for one month. They were then given a three week intensive CBT program before their hand-washing was monitored for another month. The average number of times per day each participant washed their hands over the two months of observation are as follows: Participant Month 1 Month 2 1 11 6 2 8 5 3 14 17 4 10 10 5 22 11 6 15 10   Compute the appropriate statistic to determine whether the program was effective and use this information to fill in the blanks:   Q1. revealed that the number of times per day participants washed their hands following the CBT program was Q2. compared to the number of times per day participants washed their hands before the…

Read through this scenario and look at the data that was collected.  State the null and all possible research hypotheses.  Review the results below (I used SPSS) and answer the questions that follow. Scenario:  A researcher wants to see if gender and / or income affects the total amount of help given to a stranger who is sitting on the side of a busy road with a sign asking for help.  The independent variables are gender, income, and the interaction of gender and income.  The dependent variable is total help. He wants to know if one or both factors – or the interaction of the two - affects the total amount of help offered.  Because he is analyzing two independent variables (gender and income), he used a factorial ANOVA.  His results show the main effect of each of the independent variables on the dependent variable (total help) and the interaction effect.  The researcher is using a 95% confidence interval which means that he wants to be at least 95% sure that his independent variables…

In a science fair project, Emily conducted an experiment in which she tested professional touch therapists to see if they could sense her energy field. She flipped a coin to select either her right hand or her left hand, and then she asked the therapists to identify the selected hand by placing their hand just under Emily's hand without seeing it and without touching it. Among 356 trials, the touch therapists were correct 167 times. Complete parts (a) through (d). a. Given that Emily used a coin toss to select either her right hand or her left hand, what proportion of correct responses would be expected if the touch therapists made random guesses? (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.)
