Question
To measure the relationship between anxiety level and test performance, a psychologist obtains a sample of n = 6 college students from an introductory statistics course. The students are asked to come to the laboratory 15 minutes before the final exam. In the lab, the psychologist records physiological measures of anxiety (heart rate, skin resistance, blood pressure, etc.) for each subject. In addition, the psychologist obtains the exam score for each subject. Compute the Pearson

Select the correct answer below: A. The absolute value of the z-score for the final exam grade is greater than for the midterm grade, so the final exam grade is more unusual. B. The absolute value of the z-score for the midterm exam grade is less than for the final grade, so the midterm grade is more unusual. C.

The business provides breakfast and brunch food, via carts parked along sidewalks, to people in the business district of the city. Being an experienced businessperson, Cris provides incentives for the salespeople operating the food carts. This year, she plans to offer monetary bonuses to her salespeople based on their individual mean daily sales. Her first task is to see if there is a significant difference in the mean daily sales among the different salespeople. She chooses a "sample" of days for each salesperson and records the sales for each day. She then runs a one-way, independent-samples ANOVA test to determine whether or not she can conclude that at least one salesperson's performances is significantly different from the others. (Otherwise, she'll split the bonuses evenly among all the salespeople.) In her ANOVA, the "groups" are the different salespeople, and the variable of interest is the daily sales…arrow_forwardA contributor for the local newspaper is writing an article for the weekly fitness section.

The 56 people surveyed who exercise in the afternoon or evening have a mean of 4.2 hours of exercise each week. Assume that the weekly exercise times have a population standard deviation of 0.8 hours for people who exercise in the morning and 0.3 hours for people who exercise in the afternoon or evening. Let Population 1 be people who exercise in the morning and Population 2 be people who exercise in the afternoon or evening.

- A study was conducted to examine the impact of speaking in public on college students. A class of 15 statistics students participated in the study. At the beginning of a lecture the students recorded their systolic blood pressure. During the lecture the instructor called on each student to stand and answer questions about topics in the lecture. After speaking the students once again recorded their blood pressure.
