A researcher investigated whether a father's level of optimism was predictive of his son's optimism as a young adult. Twenty (20) fathers and sons who agreed to participate in the study were administered a scale measuring their current level of optimism (the scale ranged from 10 to 50), with higher scores indicating greater optimism.

Exercise 3.13 —*** Challenging Question ✶✶✶.
Two women, Anna and Bess, claim to be the legal owners of a diamond ring that -
each claims - has great sentimental value. Neither of them can produce evidence of
ownership and nobody else is staking a claim on the ring. Judge Sabio wants the ring to
go to the legal owner, but he does not know which of the two women is in fact the legal
owner. He decides to proceed as follows. First he announces a fine of $F > 0 and then
asks Anna and Bess to play the following game.
Move 1: Anna moves first. Either she gives up her claim to the ring (in which case
Bess gets the ring, the game ends and nobody pays the fine) or she asserts her claim, in
which case the game proceeds to Move 2.
Move 2: Bess either accepts Anna's claim (in which case Anna gets the ring, the game
ends and nobody pays the fine) or challenges her claim. In the latter case, Bess must
put in a bid, call it B, and Anna must pay the fine of $F to Sabio. The game goes on to
Move 3.

- Jachuck et al. (1982) report on a drug designed to reduce hypertension (high blood pressure). Such hypotensive drugs are frequently effective but are also linked to side effects like irritability and a decline in energy. Seventy-five patients with mild hypertension were put on hypotensive drugs and their progress was monitored by doctors and spouses. When asked to rate the treated patients as improved, worse, or unchanged, the doctors rated all 75 patients as "improved." Meanwhile, the spouses rated 74 of the 75 patients as "worse." Why might spouses and doctors differ in their opinion about the effect of going on blood pressure medication?arrow_forwardboth questions multichoice please thank youarrow_forwardA study was done in 1998 by Dr. Benjamin Levine to explore the role of altitude training in athletic performance.

The athletes were then retested in another low-altitude 5 K race. In this study, what are the control and experimental data? What are the dependent and independent variables?

- Textbook authors must be careful that the reading level of their book is appropriate for the target audience. Some methods of assessing reading level require estimating the average word length. We've randomly chosen 20 words from a randomly selected page in Intro Stats and counted the number of letters in each word: 5, 5, 2, 11, 3, 5, 6, 8, 5, 4, 7, 2, 9, 4, 8, 10, 4, 7, 6, 9 Suppose that our editor was hoping that the book would have a mean word length of 6.8 letters. Does this sample indicate that the authors failed to meet this goal? With a significance level of 0.05, test an appropriate hypothesis and state your conclusion. (i.e state the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses, calculate the test statistic, conclude and interpret it).arrow_forwardThe manufacturer bakery had provided us with their specification limit, which was 145 g -155 g. Out of the 50 biscuit packets, it was observed that 5% weighed between 145.5 g and 146 g while 2% of the packets weighed between 153.95 g and 154.5 g. Which of the following groups can be categorised as bad quality? The 5% of the sample that weighed between 145.5 g and 146 g. The 2% of the sample that weighed between 153.95g and 154.5g. Both of the groups. None of the above.arrow_forwardAccording to Wine-Searcher, wine critics generally use a wine-scoring scale to communicate their opinions on the relative quality of wines. Wine scores range from 0 to 100, with a score of 95 – 100 indicating a great wine, 90 – 94 indicating an outstanding wine, 85 – 89 indicating a very good wine, 80 – 84 indicating a good wine, 75 - 79 indicating a mediocre wine, and below 75 indicating that the wine is not recommended.
