Workers in Company XYZ used 200 computers for their daily operation. In that company, the computers are categorized into type A and B. The workers usually complained that they experience performance problems with the computers more than once per week. Based on a survey, the company found that fifty of the Type A computers will encounter problems more than once per week. Meanwhile seventy-five of the Type B computers do not experience problems more than once per week. There are 120 Type B computers in the company.   Based on the above scenario determined whether the events “Type A computer” and “experience problems more than once per week” are independent event? Explain

A school Psychologist is interested in the effect of violent television programs on a child's agression depending on if the show is a cartoon or not. Eighty children were recruited and were divided into equal groups. Half of the children watched a violent television program while the other half watched a non- violent program. Half of the children watched a cartoon while the other half watched a show that was not a cartoon. The children were then placed in a small group and the researcher measured the level of agressiveness of each child.      A) z- test  B) t - test  C) test independent samples D) T - TEST RELATED SAMPLES E) ANOVA F) FACTORIAL ANOVA G) repeated measures ANOVA H) pearson correlation i) chi square

A graduating senior has been accepted by three universities for an M.S. in engineering. Two criteria have been identified. The first is the program and university’s academic ranking. The second is the cost. A third criteria of location was initially considered, but then the student recognized that it is only for about a year, and applications were only made to acceptable schools. The student is currently enrolled in the first university, which is rated as a 5 for academic rank and a 7 for cost. The second is a larger outof-state public university, which is rated as a 7 for academic rank and a 6 for cost. The third is a prestigious private school, which is rated as a 10 academically and a 3 for its higher cost. (a) What is the total score for each school if the academic rank has a weight of 40%? (b) If academic rank has a weight of 60%, what is the total score for each school?

An instructor gave students the option to purchase an interactive program that allows them to answer questions during class and receive credit for participating. Alternatively, students could work an extra problem during weekly homework assignments. The instructor randomly selected 10 students, then randomly divided them into two groups of five each. One group was provided the interactive tool, the other group was asked to work the extra problem. The instructor knew from prior experience that the interactive tool increases attendance. The table below contains the final exam scores for the 10 students (on a scale from 0 to 100). Interactive: 65 78 84 88 96 Extra problem: 56 61 70 75 82 The instructor wishes to test whether increased attendance throughout the semester leads to improved exam scores. Let µ I = mean score that would be observed if all students used the interactive tool and µ E = mean score if all students worked an extra problem. The degrees of freedom, using a t table…

There are 10 males and 18 females in the Data Management class. How many different committees of 5 students can be formed if there must be at least 2 males?

A social and personality psychologist thinks that creativity differs by personality traits, rather than the traditional view that it is a cognitive process. Specifically, this psychologist thinks that introverts are more creative than extraverts. The researcher gives a personality test to a group of 16 university students and then separates them based on the assessment results into 2 groups: the extraverts and the introverts. The participants are then asked to write a short story which is rated on creativity by a well-known author. The creativity scores range from 0 to 20 on an interval scale, where higher scores indicate greater creativity. The results are shown in Table 2. Using the 0.05 alpha level, are introverts more creative than extroverts? Use all of the steps of hypothesis testing. extrovert  introvert  8 18 7 17 11 10 3 14 5 16 8 15 7 19 4 12

Some commercial airlines recirculate about half the air in the cabin during flights as a way to improve fuel efficiency. Other airlines make a policy of NOT recirculating the air and instead, have fresh air from the atmosphere constantly being inserted into the cabin with the “old” air being pumped out of the plane. A total of 1100 passengers flying from San Francisco to Denver were used for an experiment. After their flight, they were each given a list of symptoms associated with the common cold. They were asked to report if they experienced cold symptoms within 24 hours of the flight landing. Of the 517 passengers who flew on planes that recirculate the air, 108 reported post-flight cold symptoms. Of the 583 passengers who flew on airlines that do not use recirculation in the cabin, 110 reported symptoms. Suppose now that we want to use the recirculation of air data to explore “Goal #2”, which is to resolve a hypothesis test about . a) If we want to resolve this hypothesis…

Explain how a within-subjects design avoids the problems created by individual differences and how a between-subjects design avoids the problems created by order effects.

A marketing firm wishes to test the effectiveness of the audio/visual presentation of certain information as opposed to the purely audio presentation of the information.  To this end 100 volunteers were given a 10 minute presentation in which the information was presented in an audio/visual format.  A second group of 100 volunteers was presented the same information in a purely audio format.  Each person in each of the two groups was asked the same 20 questions related to the information in the presentation.   The audio/visual group had an average of 10.5 correct responses with a sample standard deviation of 4.  The purely audio group had an average of 9.4 correct responses with a standard deviation of 3.  The marketing firm believes this means that the audio/visual format leads to better retention of the information. We test the hypotheses H0:  1 -2=0 versus Ha: 1 -2>0 at a 2% level of significance.   Here  denotes  1 the population average number of correct responses for…

A psychologist at the Royal Ottawa Hospital was asked to determine whether there was any clear difference in the length of stay (in days) of patients with different categories of diagnosis. The hospital was looking for ways to reduce costs and free up some more beds so that they could treat more patients from the community. They chose three diagnostic categories that they thought were possibly staying the longest and selected the 4 more recent admissions from each of these diagnostic categories: affective disorders, cognitive disorders, and drug-related disorders. The results are presented in Table 3 below. Using an alpha = .05 and showing all the steps of hypothesis testing, is there a significant difference in length of stay among diagnosistic categories? -do not use excel use formulas
