A researcher is interested in studying gender differences in emotional intelligence. She selects a sample of n=100 adults
females and N3D100 adult males and has each participant complete the EIAT (Emotional Intelligence Ability Test), a multiple-
choice test that examines people's emotional intelligence skills by providing them with descriptions of emotional problems,
and asking them to indicate which emotion is most probable in a given situation, or to suggest the most appropriate action for
a given scenario. Each participant gets a score out of 100. She wants to determine if there is any difference between men and
women.

Both validity and reliability can be visualized using the game of darts. If you are unfamiliar with the game, the goal is to throw a little dart and hit the bulls-eye in the middle of the board. Validity represents the ability to hit the bullseye accurately on the dartboard; while reliability is how many times you can hit the same mark on the dartboard in a row. Study the illustrations below and try
to explain each in your own words.

- Executive: We recently ran a set of advertisements in the print version of a travel magazine and on that magazine's website. We were unable to get any direct information about the consumer response to the print ads. However, we found the consumer response to the ads on the website were much more limited than is typical for website ads. We concluded that the response to the print ads is below par as well. The executive's response does which one of the following? a. uses information about the typical frequency of events of a general kind about the probability of a particular event of that kind. b. bases a prediction of the phenomenon on the intensity of the phenomenon's cause C. uses a case in which direct information is available to draw conclusions about and analogous case in which direct evidence is unavailable. d. infers a statistical generalization from claims about a large number of specific instances.arrow_forwardPlease give an example of real-life Type I and Type II errors. How might the terms “miss” and “false alarm” be applied to diagnostic medical tests? Is one type of error more dangerous? Explain.arrow_forwardBackground information: Allison collected additional days of data to monitor the process. Steps to monitor using the control charts: Now monitor the process. An additional ten days of data have been collected, see table labeled “1st 10 Days of Monitoring Reservation Processing Time” in the Data File. Develop Xbar and R charts for the 1st 10 days of monitoring. Plot the data for the 1st 10 days on the Xbar and R charts. Is the process in control? If the control chart indicates an out-of-control process, note which days, the pattern, and whether it is the Xbar or R chart. Now that we have set up the control charts using enough data from a stable process, the 30 days of data, we will monitor the process. While monitoring the process, what will we use as the upper control limit for the R (range) Chart to compare against our new range values? Enter your response to three decimal places. You do not need to include the units (minutes), ONLY the numeric value. USE EXCELL DATA TO GET…arrow_forward
