Infants, even newborns, prefer to look at attractive faces compared to less attractive faces (Slater, et al., 1998). In the study, infants from 1 to 6 days old were shown two photographs of women’s faces. Previously, a group of adults had rated one of the faces as significantly more attractive than the other. The babies were positioned in front of a screen on which the photographs were presented. The pair of faces remained on the screen until the baby accumulated a total of 20 seconds of looking at one or the other. The number of seconds looking at the attractive face was recorded for each infant. Suppose that the study used a sample of n = 9 infants and the data produced an average of M = 13 for the attractive face with an estimated standard error sM= 1 (SS = 72). If there were no preference, the 20 seconds should be divided equally between the two photographs. Note that all the available information comes from the sample. Specifically, we do not know the population mean or the…
In an effort to determine if rats perform certain tasks more quickly if offered larger rewards, the following experiment was performed. On day 1, a group of four rats was given a reward of one food pellet each time they climbed a ladder. A second group of four rats was given a reward of five food pellets each time they climbed a ladder. On day 2, the groups were reversed, so the first group now got five food pellets for each climb and the second group got only one pellet for climbing the same ladder. The average times in seconds for each rat to climb the ladder 30 times are shown in the following table. Rat A B C D E F G H Time 1 pellet 12.1 13.5 11.2 12.1 11.0 10.4 14.6 12.3 Time 5 pellets 11.1 12.2 12.0 10.6 11.5 10.5 12.9 11.0 What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
Do people feel hungrier after sampling a healthy snack?  Researchers randomly assign volunteers into one of three groups.  The people in the first group were asked to taste a snack that was billed 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 there told it was a tasty chocolate bar with a raspberry center.  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 people in the third group were asked to rate their hunger but were not given a snack.   Healthy Tasty No Snack 8 3 3 7 1 3 7 3 5 4 2 6 5 6 5 ­a.  Perform a complete one-way ANOVA hypothesis test.  Test at the .05 level of significance.
