An experimenter investigated the effects of blue light exposure on people’s sleep quality. Researchers get 50 people and randomly assign 25 people to be exposed to blue light for 20 min. before bed and the other 25 people to have no blue light exposure 25 min. before bed. Each participant is sent to bed at 10pm and woken up at 7am the next morning. When all participants are woken up, they must fill out a sleep quality questionnaire. The scores seen below represent participants’ sleep quality ratings where higher numbers indicate better sleep quality. Does the blue light exposure negatively impact sleep quality?

Is it a good idea to listen to music when studying for a final exam test? Does it matter what music you listen to? A researcher conducted a study. He worked with two independent samples, a random sample 1 of 44 students who were asked to listen to music by Mozart and another random sample 2 of 97 students who were asked to listen to Pop music while attempting to memorize objects pictured on a page. They were then asked to list all the objects they could remember (memory score). Here are the summary statistics for each group: the sample means are ¯x1=10.5x¯1=10.5 for sample 1 and ¯x2=9.5x¯2=9.5 for sample 2. Suppose that the population standard deviations are σ1=1.5σ1=1.5 and σ2=1.8σ2=1.8 are available. Could the researcher claim at a 4% level of significance that on average, there is no significant difference in memory score depending on the type of music students listen to? Use the zz-test for two independent samples and the formula,…
An educational psychologist was interested in whether using a student’s own name in a story affected children’s attention span while reading. Six children were randomly assigned to read a story under ordinary conditions (using names like Dick and Jane). Six other children read versions of the same story, but with each child’s own name substituted for one of the children in the story. The researcher kept a careful measure of how long it took (in minutes) each child to read the story. The results are shown in Table 2. Using the 0.05 alpha level, does including the child’s name make any difference? Use all of the steps of hypothesis testing.

- Researchers at the University of Virginia randomly assigned 60 four-year-olds to one of three tasks: watch a fast-paced television cartoon, watch a slower-paced educational cartoon, or participate in a drawing activity for a nine-minute period. At the end of the period, the researchers tested the children's "executive function," using various tests intended to measure characteristics such as self-regulation and working memory. These researchers found that those children who watched the fast-paced cartoon scored lower on the different measures of executive function than those children who either watched the educational cartoon or did the drawing activity. [Source: Lillard, A. S. & Peterson, J. (2011). The immediate impact of different types of television on young children's executive function.

Six children were randomly assigned to read a story under ordinary conditions (using common and generic names). Five other children read versions of the same story, but with each child’s ownname substituted for one of the children in the story. The researcher measured the amount of time (in minutes) each child spent reading the story. The results are shown in the following table. Does including the child’s namemake any difference in attention span? Test the hypothesis at an alpha set to .05, following these steps: a) write the null and alternative hypotheses; b) determine the critical value(s); c) draw the comparison distribution with rejection region(s) shaded; d)use the correct formula to compute the test statistic; e) state the statistical decision; f) state a brief conclusion.arrow_forwardDo people feel hungrier after sampling a healthy snack?

After tasting the snack, participants were asked to rate their hunger on a scale from 1 (not at all hungy) to 7 (very hungry).

The researcher finds a group of experienced mountain climbers (n = 10) who volunteer to participate in the study. All of the climbers are tested at three different altitudes—at sea level (in the researchers’ laboratory at the University of California, San Diego), at the base camp (9,000 feet above sea level), and at 23,000 feet above sea level (at the peak of Mt. Denali in Alaska). At each location, the climbers perform a memory task (remember a list of 16 non-words like “biv”), and the accuracy of their memory is recorded (i.e., # of correctly recalled words). a. pls name the independent variable, dependent variable, levels of the IV, and the type of experiment design of this study (i.e., b/w- or w/i-subject design ) b. on what level of measurement is accuracy of memory assessed?

- DO C ONLY PLEASE!!arrow_forwardThe 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.

A study examined the pitch memory of individuals diagnosed with amusia. Each in a sample of 20 amusiacs listened to a series of tone pairs and was asked to determine if the tones were the same or different. In the first trial, the tones were separated by 1 second; in a second trial, the tones were separated by 5 seconds. The difference in accuracy scores for the two trials was determined for each amusiac (where the difference in the score on the first trial minus the score on the second trial). The mean score was 0.14 with a standard deviation of 0.18. Complete parts a through b below. a. In theory, the longer the delay between tones, the less likely one is to detect a difference between the tones. Consequently, the true mean score difference should exceed 0.

- A study was designed to determine whether video game players are better than non-video game players at crossing the street when presented with distractions. Participants (college students) entered a street-crossing simulator. The simulator was designed to have cars traveling at various high rates of speed in both directions. During the crossing, the students also performed a memory task as a distraction. The researchers found that students who are video game players took an average of 5.6 seconds to cross the street, with a standard deviation of 0.6 seconds. Assume that the time, x, to cross the street for the population of video game players has μ = 5.6 and o=0.6. Now consider a sample of 40 students and let x represent the sample mean time (in seconds) to cross the street in the simulator. Complete parts a and b below. a. Find P(x>5.8).

Of the 260 young adults (around age 18) who were asked, 244 of them were able to recall such a story. 1.
