- The authors of a paper describe an experiment to evaluate the effect of using a cell phone on reaction time. Subjects were asked to perform a simulated driving task while talking on a cell phone. While performing this task, occasional red and green lights flashed on the computer screen. If a green light flashed, subjects were to continue driving, but if a red light Flashed, subjects were to brake as quickly as possible. The reaction time (in msec) was recorded. The following summary statistics are based on a graph that appeared in the paper. n = 49 x = 530 S = 65 USE SALT (a) Construct a 95% confidence interval for u, the mean time to react to a red light while talking on a cell phone. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) Interpret a 95% confidence interval for μ, the mean time to react to a red light while talking on a cell phone. We are 95% confident that the mean time to react to a red light while talking on a cell phone is between these two values.

- What's the difference between naturalistic observation and systematic observation?arrow_forwardRead the scenario below to determine which one of the time threats to internal validity (test reactivity, instrumentation, history, and maturation) is of most concern, and provide one way to control for the threat. A researcher examines students' perception of their body image by conducting a 2-year longitudinal study of middle-school students (grades 6 - 8). Body image is measured using a scale and the same scale is measured under the same conditions at the beginning and end of the study.arrow_forwardYou are a sales manager for a grocery store, and you want to see if the introduction of a new sales promotion will increase the sales in your store. To do so, you decided to create an experiment by giving a small sample of customers the promotion before expanding it to a larger customer base. You gave 18 people the promotion, and also observed the sales of 27 people who did not get the promotion as a control group. You found those who received the promotion to have an average monthly sales of $456.60, with a sample standard deviation of $52.23. You found those who did not receive the promotion had an average monthly sales of $361.46, with a sample standard deviation of $56.11. Suppose you want to use hypothesis testing (two-sample test) to investigate if the promotion has increased the sales of your store. Using the order promotion no promotion in your hypothesis test, what is the value of the test statistic for your analysis? Note: 1- Only round your final answer. Round your final…arrow_forward
