Question
The spotlight effect refers to overestimating the extent to which others notice your appearance or behavior, especially when you commit a social faux pas. Effectively, you feel as if you are suddenly standing in a spotlight with everyone looking. In one demonstration of this phenomenon, Gilovich, Medvec, and Savitsky (2000) asked college students to put on a Barry Manilow T-shirt that fellow students had previously judged to be embarrassing. The participants were then led into a room in which other students were already participating in an experiment. After a few minutes, the participant was led back out of the room and was allowed to remove the shirt. Later, each participant was asked to estimate how many people in the room had noticed the shirt. The individuals who were in the room were also asked whether they noticed the shirt. In the study, the participants significantly overestimated the actual number of people who had noticed.
-
In a similar study using a sample of n=9 participants, the individuals who wore the shirt produced an average estimate of M=6.4 with SS=162. The average number who said they noticed was 3.1. Is the estimate from the participants significantly different from the actual number? Test the null hypothesis that the true
mean is μμ=3.1 using a two-tailed test with α=.05. -
Is the estimate from the participants significantly higher than the actual number μ(μ=3.1)? Use a one-tailed test with α=.05.

- Do people feel hungrier after sampling a healthy food? The authors of a consumer research paper carried out a study to answer this question. They randomly assigned volunteers into one of three groups. The people in the first group were asked to taste a snack that was described as a new health bar containing high levels of protein, vitamins, and fiber. The people in the second group were asked to taste the same snack but were told it was a tasty chocolate bar with a raspberry center. After tasting the snack, participants were asked to rate their hunger level on a scale from 1 (not at all hungry) to 7 (very hungry). The people in the third group were asked to rate their hunger but were not given a snack. The data in the table are consistent with summary quantities given in the paper (although the sample sizes in the actual study were larger).

Based solely on the information given, do you have reason to question the results of the study? Select all that apply. Sociologists studying domestic violence circulate a questionnaire asking each respondent if she or he has ever abused a spouse or partner. a. Yes, there is reason. The people receiving the questionnaire might not be representative of the population. b. No, there is no reason. It is unlikely that there are any confounding variables in the study c. No, there is no reason. The goal of the study is clear. d. Yes, there is reason. Self-reporting is often not accurate. e. No, there is no reason. There is no bias in the study 1. Yes, there is reason. The wording of the question might produce inaccurate or dishonest responses,arrow_forwardMany students at Matt's school claim they can think more clearly while listening to their favorite kind of music. Matt thinks music interferes with thinking clearly. To test this, he recruits 84 volunteers and randomly assigns them to two groups. The “Music” group listens to their favorite music while playing a “matching” memory game. The “No Music” group plays the same game in silence. Below are summary statistics for the number of turns it took each subject to complete the game (fewer turns indicates a better performance). (a) Is there convincing evidence that listening to music increases the number of turns required to finish the memory game? (b) Suppose Matt allowed people to choose whether or not they were in the group that listened to music while playing the game? Give an example of a problem that might arise if the subjects were allowed to do this.arrow_forward
- A study was conducted to explore the prevalence and impact of sleep problems on various aspects of people's lives. Staff from a university in Melbourne, Australia were invited to complete a questionnaire containing questions about their sleep behaviour (e.g. hours slept per night), sleep problems (e.g. difficulty getting to sleep) and the impact that these problems have on aspects of their lives (work, driving, relationships). The sample consisted of 271 respondents (55% female, 45% male) ranging in age from 18 to 84 years (M=43.9yrs). A student researcher is interested in examining whether the participants in the study sleep for 8 hours a night, the recommended average for adults. Proposed analysis and why you chose the analysis?

You select your sample population and begin making your observations. As the research progresses, you suspect that a number of the subjects exhibit behavioral changes simply related to their knowledge of being enrolled in the study and the increased attention they are receiving as subjects. This phenomenon is known as: Group of answer choices selection bias the Hawthorne effect healthy participant effect misclassification error the Rosenthal effectarrow_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
- Does the location of your seat in a classroom play a role in attendance or grade? 1600 students in a physics course were randomly assigned to one of four groups. The 400 students in group 1 sat 0 to 4 meters from the front of the class, the 400 students in group 2 sat 4 to 6.5 meters from the front, the 400 students in group 3 sat 6.5 to 9 meters from the front, and the 400 students in group 4 sat 9 to 12 meters from the front. Complete parts (a) through (c). Click the icon to view the chi-square table of critical values. (a) For the first half of the semester, the attendance for the whole class averaged 83%. So, if there is no effect due to seat location, we would expect 83% of students in each group to attend. The data show the attendance history for each group.

- The statistics department at a large Midwestern university is interested in how students feel about their introductory statistics course. They decide to randomly select 60 introductory stats students to give a survey, 10 from both the freshman and sophomore class ranks and 20 from both the junior and senior class ranks. They discover that of the 60 total respondents, 73% have a positive attitude toward intro stats.
