This means that Select one: a. support for the ban is highest among the rich b. the electorate will approve the ban c. as prestige goes up, support for the ban goes down d. support tends to increase as prestige increases

How many hours of sleep do people get by listening to music? I record 10 subjects’ hours of sleep after they listen to 4 types of music: White noise, Rock, Pop, and Classical. For each music condition, they provide an average amount of hours of sleep they got for 1 week.

A dentist wanted to determine if a relationship existed between childhood fluoride exposure and cavities. She took a sample of adults in her practice and counted how many cavities each person had in his or her permanent teeth. She also determined how many years of childhood each person was exposed to tap water with fluoride. The minimum value on this variable was 0 and the maximum was 18. Using the data below, an alpha of .05 and a two-tailed test, was there a significant relationship? Years of fluoride Number of cavities 0 10 18 1 2 7 12 3 3 4 10 5 M = 7.5s =6.98 M = 5.00s = 3.16
