Question
Scenario: A researcher wants to know whether a hard copy of a textbook provides additional benefits over an e-book. She conducts a study where participants are randomly assigned to read a passage either on a piece of paper or on a computer screen. After a distractor task lasting 30 minutes, the participants are tested for their comprehension of the passage with a multiple-choice test containing 10 questions about their passage. Comprehension was scored using percent correct (0 — 100%). The researcher predicts that those randomly assigned to read the passage on a piece of paper will remember significantly more than those who read the passage online. Question: What is the research / alternate hypothesis for this scenario?
People who read a passage on a piece of paper will remember more than those who read a passage online.
People who read a passage on a piece of paper will not remember more than those who read a passage online.
Amount remembered of a passage will vary based on whether people read the scenario on a piece of paper verses online.
Amount remembered of a passage will not vary based on whether people read the scenario on a piece of paper verses online.

- Suppose you were presented with the results of a study comparing two different training methods for basketball athletes. You are told 32 athletes were randomly assigned to the two groups so that 16 were in the group A and 16 were in the group B. At the end of the session, the average scores (wins versus losses) of the two groups/teams were compared and a difference of 10% was observed ( the first team had 10% more wins than the second). The coach observer reports two- sample t-test shows this difference is statistically significant. How would you interpret these findings? What questions or concerns would you have? How might this type of study be improved? Hint: Consider the possibility that the test performed was not the appropriate one.arrow_forwardC.

- Job Satisfaction. A study reported in the Journal of Small Business Management concluded that selfemployed individuals do not experience higher job satisfaction than individuals who are not selfemployed. In this study, job satisfaction is measured using 18 items, each of which is rated using a Likerttype scale with 1–5 response options ranging from strong agreement to strong disagreement. A higher score on this scale indicates a higher degree of job satisfaction. The sum of the ratings for the 18 items, ranging from 18 to 90, is used as the measure of job satisfaction. Suppose that this approach was used to measure the job satisfaction for lawyers, physical therapists, cabinetmakers, and systems analysts. The results obtained for a sample of 10 individuals from each profession follow.

It randomly selects 500 members for further study, and one of the pieces of information they collect is the amount the amount of money spent on prescription medications over the past year. The average amount among the 500 members is $600 and the SD is $1,000. A histogram of the amounts is quite skewed to the right, and 40 (8%) of the sampled members have spent $5000 or more on prescription medications in the past year. Calculate a 95%-confidence interval for the percentage of all members who have spent $5000 or more on prescription medications in the last year.arrow_forward
- Auditors must make judgments about various aspects of an audit on the basis of their own direct experience, indirect experience, or a combination of the two. In a study, auditors were asked to make judgmentS about the frequency of errors to be found in an audit. The judgments by the auditors were then compared to the actual results. Suppose the following data were obtained from a similar study; lower scores indicate better judgments. If answer is zero enter "0".
