Consider a scenario where two vaccines have been developed and their effectiveness was tested by comparing the mean outcome for a vaccinated group to the mean for a control (placebo) group. Both of the vaccine studies set the significance (α) level for the test at .05, two-tailed, and both found statistically significant differences (i.e., the p-value was very small and H0 was rejected). The results were as follows: Study Effect size (d) t-statistic Vaccine 1 0.7 4.8 Vaccine 2 0.2 4.8 (a) Based on the above information, can we know whether one study involved a larger sample size than the other? If so, which one? Explain. (b) Based on the above information, can we conclude that one vaccine is preferable to (i.e., more effective than) the other? If so, which one? Explain.

For each of the following scenarios, what are two names for the ANOVA that would be conducted to analyze the data? A researcher examined the effect of gender and pet ownership (no pets, one pet, more than one pet) on a measure of loneliness. In a study on memory, participants completed a memory task once each week for 4 weeks—twice after sleeping 8 hours and twice after sleeping 4 hours. In each sleep condition, the participants completed the task after ingesting a caffeinated beverage and again, on another day, after ingesting a “placebo” beverage that they were told contained caffeine. A study examined the impact of students’ Instagram profiles on numbers of Instagram friends. The researchers were interested in the effect of (1) the profile photo—either an identifiable photo of the student or a photo of someone or something else (e.g., a dog)—and (2) bio length—either short (fewer than 75 characters) or long (75 characters or more).
One critique of sentencing research is that it generally focuses on the differences between white defendants and defendants of color and rarely examines differences between minority groups. The JDCC data set can be used to test for differences between the sentences received by black and Hispanic juveniles convicted of property crimes. Black juveniles (Sample 1; N = 229) were sentenced to a mean of 31.09 months of probation (s = 15.42), and Hispanic juveniles (Sample 2; N = 118) received a mean of 40.84 months (s = 16.45). Using an alpha level of .01, test the hypothesis that there is a statistically significant difference between the two group means. Assume unequal population variances. Use all five steps.
If a treatment is expected to decrease scores on a variable for which the mean is expected to be u=50,What is the null hypothesis?
Post-hoc tests are necessary for an analysis of variance comparing only two treatment conditions. t or f
Again, since the DM is statistically savvy, he is resolved to confront the player only if he can establish that the player rolled a mean score significantly higher than the expected mean at the .05 significance level. Based on this, does he have evidence that the player may have cheated? Problem 2: A market researcher recently sent out a survey to determine if the percentage of adults who use social media has changed from 68%, which was the percentage of adults who used social media seven years ago. She found that of the 467 people who responded to survey, 336 stated that they currently use social media. At the .02 significance level, do we have evidence that that the percentage of adults who use social media has changed?
Which of the following is an advantage most likely to be associated with a cross-sectional design compared to a longitudinal design? a) more generalizable b) resistant to the "cohort effect" c) more powerful d) quicker
A nutritionist compared the effectiveness of an online diet program to that of an inperson diet program. After three months, she compared the number of pounds of weight lost. The control group (in-person) lost a mean of 18.00 pounds (s = 14.50, n = 16) and the experimental group (online) lost 16.00 pounds (s = 13.30, n = 21). Use an alpha of .05, a two-tailed test, s2pooled = 191.19, and sM1−M2 = 4.5 to determine if there is a difference between the two programs.
In a study to determine if using low-intensity laser therapy reduces pain for orthodontic patients who are fitted with new braces, patients were randomly assigned to either a control group (who did not receive laser treatment) or an experimental group who did receive laser treatment.† The researchers found that the mean pain rating was lower for those in the laser treatment group than for those in the control group both two days and six days after receiving braces. The researchers used these data to determine if there was evidence to support the claim that the mean pain rating is lower for patients who receive the laser treatment. Answer the four key questions.
