Scenario: A researcher wants to see whether ESP abilities in psychics differ based on environment. Thus, the researcher has psychics predict card suits in both a fortune-telling environment (e.g., low lighting, candles, a crystal ball), and in a standard lab environment. They complete 100 trials of the task in each environment, with the environment type counterbalanced between participants. All 30 psychics completed the card prediction task in both environments. Accuracy rates are compared. Question: Which of the following best describes the scenario? Between-subjects Within-subjects Mixed design

A researcher gathered a sample of participants who volunteered for a studying of phobias. She measured anxiety level of participants as they viewed photos of spiders and again when they viewed puppies. Which statistical test is appropriate for this study and why?
Researchers investigate how the presence of cell phones influence the quality of human interaction. Subjects are randomly selected from a population and divided into an experimental group that is asked to leave their phones in the front of the room and a control group that are not asked to leave their cell phones at the front of the room. Subjects are left alone for 10 minutes and then asked to take a survey designed to measure quality of interactions they had with others in the experiment. What statistical test is appropriate?
Researchers wish to study the effect of daily brain teasers on a person's intelligence. The researchers randomly choose 20 students from their local college campus. Day one of the test, every student is given an IQ test. The students are then randomly divided into Group A and Group B (10 students each). Group A is given daily brain teasers, while Group B were not instructed to participate in anything outside their normal routine. At the end of a 30 day period, each member of the group takes an IQ test. The students are aware of what group they are in, but the researchers have no idea until the results are given. The test given to Group A would be considered the Control Treatment Variable Placebo
The effects of social skill training on a 29 year-old mentally retarded male adult were explored. The subject listened to typical social situations (such as getting a compliment or saying thank you) on audiotape and discussed the situations with a therapist. The subject's positive social verbal interactions were counted before the training, at three times during the training period, and at three times after the training had been completed. All counts were taken by observing the subject at a evening recreation time in the subject's group home. Results show that positive interactions increased during the training period but then rapidly decreased after training had stopped.

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
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. SatisJob Lawyer Physical Therapist Cabinetmaker Systems Analyst 44 55 54 44 42…
Acne is a common skin disease that affects most adolescents and can continue into adulthood. A study compared the effectiveness of three acne treatments and a placebo, all in gel form, applied twice daily for 12 weeks. The study's 517 teenage volunteers were randomly assigned to one of the four treatments. Success was assessed as clear or almost clear skin at the end of the 12 week period. The results of the study can be seen in the table below. Using the appropriate statistical test, determine if there is significant evidence that the four treatments perform differently. If so, how do they compare.
A political scientist claims that 38% of first-year college students characterize themselves as being “moderate” or “middle of the road” as far as their political affiliation is concerned. Believing this claimed value is too high, you survey a random sample of 400 first-year college students and find that 120 characterize themselves as being “moderate” or “middle of the road.” Based on this information, what will the test statistic be? Choose the answer below that is closest to what you calculate, and try not to do a lot of rounding until you get to the very end of your calculations. 1. -0.3 2. -1.2 3. -2.6 4. -3.3 5. None of the other answer options are correct because the test statistic should be positive, not negative.
Does the source of medical information affect people’s confidence that it is true? To answer this question, you presented medical information to participants regarding the importance of vaccinations. Participants were randomly assigned to read medical information from a doctor, a politician, or a celebrity. Then, they indicated how confident they were that the information is true.
Snoqualmie” is a name shared by a waterfall and a tribe of Native Americans. In a study of the cultural importance of the waterfall, two groups of the Snoqualmie tribe were randomly surveyed. One group consisted of Snoqualmie members living less than 25 miles from the waterfall. Another group consisted of Snoqualmie members living more than 25 miles from the waterfall. The researchers asked each member to rate the cultural importance of the waterfall as low, medium, or high. Data from the study are presented in the following table. Members Living More Than 25 Miles from the Waterfall Members Living Less Than 25 Miles from the Waterfall Total Low 25 17 42 Medium 8 21 29 High 5 12 17 Total 38 50 88 If the distributions of ratings are the same for those Snoqualmie members living less than 25 miles from the waterfall and those living more than 25 miles from the waterfall, which of the following is equal to the expected count of members living less than 25 miles from the…
During the pandemic, an HR manager randomly assigned 6 employees to work from homeand the other 6 employees to work from the office as usual. After three months, all 12employees’ job performance was tested. Scores for those working from home were 10, 12,14, 13, 11, 12, and scores for those who worked from the office were 8, 6, 10, 8, 9, and 7.The HR manager then compares the scores from both groups to determine which groupscores significantly higher.Based on the experiment above,a) Carry out a t-test using five steps of hypothesis testing with the 0.05 level ofsignificance at one-tailed. Explain your finding.b) Sketch the t-distribution involved.
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…
