- Scenario: If 20 participants completed an attention task twice — once after consuming a sugar pill and once after consuming a pill that contained 25 mg nicotine, which test would be most appropriate? Assume data meets all assumptions for a parametric test, and that participant exposure to the sugar pill vs. nicotine pill were counterbalanced. Question: What is the research / alternate hypothesis for this scenario? Nicotine does not affect attention. Nicotine affects attention. Anxiety does not affect attention. Anxiety affects attention.arrow_forwardThe Institute of Psychiatry at Kings College London found that dealing with infomania (information overload) has a temporary, but significant derogatory effect on IQ.† Researchers divided volunteers into two groups. Each subject took an IQ test. One group had to check e-mail and respond to instant messages while taking the test, and the second group took the test without any distraction. The distracted group had an average score that was 10 points lower than the average for the control group. Explain why it is important that the researchers created the two experimental groups in this study by using random assignment. O Without random assignment, the researchers cannot make multiple observations for each group. O Without random assignment, the researchers can't hold extraneous variables constant. O Using random assigment ensures the conclusion can be generalized to a larger population. O Using random assignment produces comparable, unbiased experimental groups.

It was reported that 73 out of the 137 randomly selected students entering Ivan Allen College at Georgia Tech (social science and humanities) with a HOPE scholarship lost the scholarship at the end of the first year because they had a GPA of less than 3.0. It was also reported that 72 of a random sample of 111 students enterin the College of Computing with a B average had lost their HOPE scholarship by the end of the first year.

Researchers administer an online questionnaire regarding IBS symptoms to 10,000 people who have an established diagnosis of anxiety disorder in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. They administer the same questionnaire to another 10,000 people from the same countries who do not have a diagnosis of anxiety disorder. Their findings are tabulated below.arrow_forward
