Discuss whether hate crimes should be punished more severely than if it was not a hate crime? Why or why not?arrow_forward"Bullying," according to noted expert Dan Olweus, "poisons the educational environment and affects the learning of every child." Bullying and victimization are evident as early as preschool, with the problem peaking in middle school. Suppose you are interested in the emotional well-being of not only the victims but also bystanders, bullies, and those who bully but who are also victims (bully-victims). You decide to measure depression in a group of victims and a group of bully-victims using a 26-item, 3-point depression scale. Assume scores on the depression scale are normally distributed and that the variances of the depression scores are the same among victims and bully-victims. The group of 25 victims scored an average of 25.3 with a sample standard deviation of 9 on the depression scale. The group of 23 bully-victims scored an average of 20.5 with a sample standard deviation of 8 on the same scale. You do not have any presupposed assumptions about whether victims or bully-victims…arrow_forwardBullying," according to noted expert Dan Olweus, "poisons the educational environment and affects the learning of every child."

- An educational psychologist was interested in time management by students. She had a theory that students who did well in school spent less time involved with online social media. She found out, from the American Social Media Research Collective, that the average American high school student spends 18.68 per week using online social media. She then obtained a sample of 31 students who had been named the valedictorians of their high schools. These valedictorians spent an average of 16.24 hours using online social media every week. Their standard deviation was 6.80. Use alpha of .05 and a two-tailed test to determine whether valedictorians spent a different amount of time on social media.arrow_forwardSplit the Bill? Exercise 2.153 describes a study to compare the cost of restaurant meals when people pay individually versus splitting the bill as a group. In the experiment half of the people were told they would each be responsible for individual meal costs and the other half were told the cost would be split equally among the six people at the table. The data in SplitBill includes the cost of what each person ordered (in Israeli shekels) and the payment method (Individual or Split). Some summary statistics are provided in Table 6.20 and both distributions are reasonably bell-shaped. Use this information to test (at a 5% level) if there is evidence that the mean cost is higher when people split the bill. You may have done this test using randomizations in Exercise 4.118.

They provide information and support to other healthcare providers, or to individuals and familiesconcerned with the risk of inherited conditions. They work in university medical centers, private and public hospitals, and physicians' offices. They work with families, patients, and other medical professionals. Most work full time and typically need a master's degree. The median annual wage for genetic counselors was $67,500 in May, 2014.SOURCE: Bureau of Labor and Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Outlook Handbook , 2016 -2017 Edition, Genetics Counselors .Sickle cell disease is an inherited blood disorder that affects red blood cells.
