An elementary education researcher was interested in seeing how the color used to make corrections on students’ papers affected their self-esteem. He assembled first graders and asked them to take a third-grade math test. He told the first graders that the test would be very difficult for them and they might not get very many answers right, but he needed their help. After the students were each called into a room to take the test alone, he pretended to grade it. Everyone had 25% of their answers marked wrong. For half the kids, these answers were marked with red ink and for the other half, the “incorrect” answers were marked with pencil. Each child then took a self-esteem inventory on which higher scores indicate more self-esteem. The 17 red ink kids had a mean of 23.00 (s = 5.00); the 10 pencil kids had a mean score of 29.00 (s = 5.00). Using s2pooled =25.0, sM1−M2 =1.99, and alpha of .05 and a two tailed test, determine if there is a difference in self-esteem.

A chef is trying out a new recipe he has been working on and wants to see if it will sell better than his old one. To find out, he performs an experiment where he randomly assigns 20 people to try his new recipe and 20 people to try his old one. He asks each group how much they would be willing to pay for their food, and he finds that the group with the old recipe would pay an average of $20.00 and the second would pay an average of $26.00. He then performs an independent samples t-test between these groups. a. Suppose the sample variance for the price of the chef’s old recipe is $2.00, and the sample variance for the new recipe is $3.00. Perform a one-tailed t-test at a significance level of α = 0.01 and explain what the result means (how does the new recipe compare to the old one?). b. To evaluate the magnitude of effect size, compute the estimated Cohen’s d. Briefly describe what it means, and comment on the strength of the effect: is it weak, moderate or strong?
Researchers wanted to determine whether fence lizards learned to avoid fire ants. To determine this, they gathered lizards from eastern Arkansas (where there were no fire ants), and from southern Alabama (which had been invaded by fire ants). The lizards were then exposed to fire ants, and researchers measured how long (in seconds) it took the lizards to flee. The researchers observed that the lizards from Alabama had an average response time of 32 seconds, and the lizards from Arkansas had an average response time of 44 seconds. Using this, which of the following is closest to the P-value for this hypothesis test? Choice 1:0.5 Choice 2:0.005 Choice 3:0.05 Choice 4:1 Choice 5:0.01 Which is the correct choice and why?
A recent drug survey showed an increase in the use of drugs and alcohol among local high school seniors as compared to the national percent. Suppose that a survey of 100 local seniors and 100 national seniors is conducted to see if the proportion of drug and alcohol use is higher locally than nationally. Locally, 65 seniors reported using drugs or alcohol within the past month, while 60 national seniors reported using them.

If a sample consists of 700 test scores, _________of them would be at or below the 52 th percentile. If a sample consists of 700 test scores, ________ of them would be at or above the 64 th percentile.
In a recent marketing experiment, consumers were given one of four different types of dishwashing detergent and asked to use it for a month. At the end of that time they were asked to rate the detergent in terms of overall quality. The results are presented below. What percentage of the consumers rated their detergent average or better?
You are concerned that nausea may be a side effect of Tamiflu, but you cannot just give Tamiflu to patients with the flu and say that nausea is a side effect if people become nauseous. However, past research indicates that about 30% of people who get the flu experience nausea, and you believe that the percentage of those who experience nausea while having the flu and taking Tamiflu will be greater than 30%, which would indicate that nausea is a side effect of Tamiflu.a) If you going to test this claim at the 0.05 significance level, what would be your null and alternative hypotheses?H0: ____ _____H1: ____ _____b) What type of hypothesis test should you conduct (left-, right-, or two-tailed)?
