In a classic study of infant attachment, Harlow (1959) placed infant monkeys in cages with two artificial surrogate mothers. One “mother” was made from bare wire mesh and contained a baby bottle from which the infants could feed. The other mother was made from soft terry cloth and did not provide any access to food. Harlow observed the infant monkeys and recorded how much time per day was spent with each mother. In atypical day, the infants spent a total of 18 hours clinging to one of the two mothers. If there were no preference between the two, you would expect the time to be divided evenly, with an average of μ=9 hours for each of the mothers. However, the typical monkey spent around 15 hours per day with the terry-cloth mother, indicating a strong preference for the soft, cuddly mother. Suppose a sample of n=9 infant monkeys averaged M=15.3 hours per day with SS=216 with the terry-cloth mother. Is this result sufficient to conclude that the monkeys spent significantly more time with…
A store manager observes that the morale of employees in her supermarket is low. She thinks that if their working conditions are improved, pay scales rose, and the vacation benefits made more attractive, the morale will be boosted. She doubts, however, if an increase in pay scales would raise the morale of all employees. Her conjecture is that those who have supplemental incomes will just not be “turned on” by higher pay, and only those without side incomes will be happy with increased pay, with a resultant boost in morale Based on the scenario presented, answer the following questions: A) Identify the Independent, Dependent, Moderating, and Mediating Variables. Also provide justification for your choice. B) Create a schematic diagram (i.e., conceptual framework) that depicts the relationships among the variables. C) Based on the above conceptual framework develops at least four alternate hypotheses.
According to a study administered by the National Bureau of Economic Research, half of Americans would struggle to come up with $2000 in the event of a financial emergency. The majority of the 1900 Americans surveyed said they would rely on more than one method to come up with emergency funds if required. In the survey, 397 people said that they "certainly" would not be able to cope with an unexpected $2000 bill if they had to come up with the money in 30 days, and 553 people said they "probably" would not be able to cope. Step 1 of 2 : What percentage of Americans "certainly" would not be able to produce $2000 in the event of an emergency according to the study? Round your answer to one decimal place, if necessary.
Suppose you have been employed by ALADIN Solutions Ltd. as an Operations Manager to study the efficiency of customer service center of SONE Bank in handling customers. The customer service center has two serving points, Alpha and Bravo, through which customers are catered. Your field survey results are presented in Table 1 as follows: Table 1: Wait time of Service Points in Minutes Customer No. Alpha Bravo 1 12 10 2 16 3 3 11 8 4 10 7 5 17 6 6 10 16 7 13 15 8 18 16 9 6 20 10 17 9 You are required to write a letter to your supervisor for presenting the results of your analysis. Use mean waiting times and box plots as the tools to compare the efficiency of Alpha and Bravo serving points. Assuming a customer visits Alpha and Bravo points and is handled in 18 minutes. Which point is handling customer better? Use Z-Score to determine this and incorporate the results in your letter.
In the study of evolutionary behavior, the Trivers-Willard hypothesis indicates that healthyparents should tend to have more male offspring than female, and that weaker parents should tendto have more female offspring than male. This tendency may maximize the number of each parent’sgrandchildren (and thus help to ensure that its genetic code is preserved) since a healthy maleoffspring can win many mates, but a relatively unhealthy offspring has the best chance of mating ifit is female. In an experiment to examine this hypothesis, a group of 40 opossums were monitoredand 20 of them were given an enhanced diet. After a certain period of time, the opossums with theenhanced diet had raised 19 male offspring and 14 female offspring, and the opossums without theenhanced diet had raised 15 male offspring and 15 female offspring. Does this finding provideevidence in support of the Trivers-Willard hypothesis? (a) Describe the unknown parameters ?1 and ?2. Then state the null and…
High school seniors with strong academic records apply to the nation's most selective colleges in greater numbers each year. Because the number of slots remains relatively stable, some colleges reject more early applicants. Suppose that for a recent admissions class, an Ivy League college received 2,852 applications for early admission. Of this group, it admitted 1,032 students early, rejected 857 outright, and deferred 963 to the regular admission pool for further consideration. In the past, this school has admitted 18% of the deferred early admission applicants during the regular admission process. Counting the students admitted early and the students admitted during the regular admission process, the total class size was 2,377. Let E, R, and D represent the events that a student who applies for early admission is admitted early, rejected outright, or deferred to the regular admissions pool. (a) Use the data to estimate P(E), P(R), and P(D). (Round your answers to four decimal…
A multinational corporation is considering starting a subsidiary in an Asiancountry. Management realizes that the success of the new subsidiary depends, in part,on the ensuing political climate in the target country. Management estimates that theprobability of success (in terms of resulting revenues of the subsidiary during its firstyear of operation) is 0.55 if the prevailing political situation is favorable, 0.30 if thepolitical situation is neutral, and 0.10 if the political situation during the year is unfavorable. Management further believes that the probabilities of favorable, neutral, andunfavorable political situations are 0.6, 0.2, and 0.2, respectively. What is the successprobability of the new subsidiary?
In a large metropolitan area, 20% of the commuters currently use the public transportation system, whereas the remaining 80% commute via automobile. The city has recently revitalized and expanded its public transportation system. It is expected that 6 months from now 30% of those who are now commuting to work via automobile will switch to public transportation, and 70% will continue to commute via automobile. At the same time, it is expected that 20% of those now using public transportation will commute via automobile and 80% will continue to use public transportation. (a) Construct the transition matrix for the Markov chain that describes the change in the mode of transportation used by these commuters. P A T = P A (b) Find the initial distribution vector for this Markov chain. X0 = (c) What percentage of the commuters are expected to use public transportation 6 months…
Akiko Hamaguchi, the manager at a small sushi restaurant in Phoenix, Arizona, is concerned that the weak economic environment has hampered foot traffic in her area, thus causing a dramatic decline in sales. Her cousin in San Francisco, Hiroshi Sato, owns a similar restaurant, but he has seemed to prosper during these rough economic times. Hiroshi agrees that higher unemployment rates have likely forced some customers to dine out less frequently, but he maintains an aggressive marketing campaign to thwart this apparent trend. For instance, he advertises in local papers with valuable two-for-one coupons and promotes early-bird specials over the airwaves. Despite the fact that advertising increases overall costs, he believes that this campaign has positively affected sales at his restaurant. In order to support his claim, Hiroshi provides his restaurant’s monthly sales (in $1,000s) and advertising costs (in $), as well as the monthly unemployment rate (in %) from San Francisco County. A…

A national study found that treating people appropriately for high blood pressure reduced their overall mortality by 20%. Treating people adequately for hypertension has been difficult because it is estimated that 50% of hypertensives do not know they have high blood pressure, 50% of those who do know are inadequately treated by their physicians, and 50% who are appropriately treated fail to follow this treatment by taking the right number of pills. If the preceding 50% rates were each reduced to 35% by a massive education program, then what effect would this change have on the overall mortality rate among true hypertensives; that is, would the mortality rate decrease and, if so, what percentage of deaths among hypertensives could be prevented by the education program? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) The overall mortality rate among hypertensives would be reduced by how much? If possible please demonstarte how this can be done on a calculator, thank you!
