For the following studies, indicate which kinds of t-test, single sample, two independent samples, or repeated samples, has to be used. a. A researcher is comparing the amount of time spent playing video games each week for college males versus females. b. A researcher is comparing two new designs for cell phones by having a group of high school students send a text message on each model and measuring the difference in speed on each student. c. A researcher is evaluating the effects of fatigue by testing people in the morning when they are well rested and testing again at midnight when they have been awake for at least 14 hours. d. A researcher in nursing wanted to know if the recovery of patients was quicker when some received additional in-home care whereas others received the standard amount.

What are the independent and dependent variables for the following examples? What statistical test would you use for each of the following scenarios? What would you set your alpha-level at? Sally wants to examine whether there is a difference in muscular strength between participants who engaged in an 8-week resistance training program and participants who engaged in an 8-week endurance training program. The participants only took part in one of the 8-week programs, not both. What test would she use to determine whether the differences in muscular strength are significant? Why?
Compare the two separate scatterplots. In particular, how do the associtation compare between women with pets vs. women without pets? Does one group have more variation in systolic blood pressure than the other? If so, for which group? Does systolic blood pressure seem higher for common ages between the two groups? If so, for which group?
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.
A consumer group, concerned about the mean fat content of a certain grade of ground beef, submits a random sample 12 packets of ground beef for analysis, to an independent laboratory. The percentage of fat from each packet is as follows Sample Percentage of Fat 1 21 2 18 3 19 4 16 5 18 6 24 7 22 8 19 9 24 10 14 11 18 12 15 The manufacturer claims that the mean fat content for this grade of ground beef is less than 20%. Assuming that the percentage fat content is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 3, conduct the appropriate hypothesis test and advise the consumer group about the validity of the manufacturer’s claim.
With the long lines we have experienced waiting to enter local grocery stores, a researcher wanted to compare the wait times for two stores. Consider the following data. Wait times to enter Store A: 13 16 12 20 15 15 8 Wait times to enter Store B: 10 26 16 18 15 5 19 A) If the researcher wanted to compare the stores and find which store had a more consistent expected wait time to enter, what numerical measure should the researcher compute for each sample to compare? The researcher should compute the ________ for each sample. a) mean b) median c) mode d) range e) standard deviation f) Z-score Now compute the measure you discussed in part (A) to make the comparison. You can use the functions built into your calculator or use the formula to compute these results. B) Using your calculations, which store would have a more consistent expected wait time to enter? [Store A or Store B] ________ would have a more consistent expected…
In a study examining the effect of alcohol on reaction time, Liguori and Robinson (2001) found that even moderate alcohol consumption significantly slowed response time to an emergency situation in a driving simulation. In a similar study, researchers measured reaction time 30 minutes after participants consumed one 6-ounce glass of wine. Again, they used a standardized driving simulation task for which the regular population averages μ = 400 msec. The distribution of reaction times is approximately normal with σ = 40. Assume that the researcher obtained a sample mean of M = 422 for the n = 25 participants in the study A) Are the data sufficient to conclude that the alcohol has a significant effect on reaction time? Use a two-tailed test with α = .01. B) Do the data provide evidence that the alcohol significantly increased reaction time? Use a one-tailed test with α = .01 C) Compute Cohen’s d to estimate the size of the effect.

If a newborn lab rat receives a hormone and its weight (in ounces) is converted into a z score that is greater than +2.00, what would the researcher most likely conclude about whether or not the hormone had an effect on the rat's weight?

If Elliot collects data from a single sample and her dependent variable is assessed on a nominal scale, which of these difference tests would Elliot need to use to analyze her data? A. a single-sample t test B. a single-sample z test C. a between-subjects ANOVA D. a chi-square goodness-of-fit test
A deficiency of the trace element selenium in the diet can negatively impact growth, immunity, muscle and neuromuscular function, and fertility. The introduction of selenium supplements to dairy cows is justified when pastures have low selenium levels. Authors of a research paper supplied the following data on milk selenium concentration (mg/L) for a sample of cows given a selenium supplement (the treatment group) and a control sample given no supplement, both initially and after a 9-day period.
