Is status related to a student’s understanding of science? The article “From Here to Equity: The Influence of Status on Student Access to and Understanding of Science” (Culture and Comparative Studies [1999]: 577– 602) described a study on the effect of group dis- cussions on learning biology concepts. An analysis of the relationship between status and “rate of talk” (the num- ber of on-task speech acts per minute) during group work included gender as a blocking variable. Do you think that gender is a useful blocking variable? Explain.

- The article “Developing a Tool to Measure the Factors Influencing Nurses' Enjoyment of Nursing” (L. Wilkes, M. Doull, et al., Journal of Clinical Nursing, 2016:1854–1860) reports that in a sample of 124 nurses, 54 said that a busy workload had a positive effect on their enjoyment of their job. Can you conclude that less than 45% of nurses feel that a busy workload has a positive effect on their enjoyment of their job?In 2010, Seery, Holman, & Silver found that individuals with some history of adversity report better mental health and well-being compared to people with little to no history of adversity. In an attempt to examine this phenomenon, a researcher surveys a group of college students to determine the negative life events they experienced in the last 5 years and their current feeling of well-being. Participants: With 5-10 negative experiences With 2 or fewer negative experiences n=7 n=7 Well-being score of M=48 Well-being score of M=41 SS=325 SS=347 1. State the hypotheses both experimental and statistical 2. Do the results indicate significantly different reports of Well-being? Use a two-tailed test with a=.05. Please show work and state your decision regarding the H0. 3. Compute the estimated Cohen's d to measure the size of the effect. State…Leisure Activities and Dementia. An article appearing in the Los Angeles Times discussed the study “Leisure Activities and the Risk of Dementia in the Elderly” (New England Journal of Medicine, Vol. 348) by J.Verghese et al. The article in the Times, titled “Crosswords Reduce Risk of Dementia,” contained the following statement: “Elderly people who frequently read, do crossword puzzles, practice a musical instrument or play board games cut their risk of Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia by nearly two-thirds compared with people who seldom do such activities.” Comment on thestatement in quotes, keeping in mind the type of study for which causation can be reasonably inferred.
- Three experiments investigating the relation between need for cognitive closure and persuasion were reported in “Motivated Resistance and Openness to Persuasion in the Presence or Absence of Prior Information,” by A. W. Kruglanski (Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Vol. 65, No. 5, pp. 861–874). Part of the study involved administering a “need for closure scale” to a group of students enrolled in an introductory psychology course. The “need for closure scale” has scores ranging from 101 to 201. For the 73 students in the highest quartile of the distribution, the mean score was 178.70 . Assume a population standard deviation of 7.81. These students were all classified as high on their need for closure. Assume that the 73 students represent a random sample of all students who are classified as high on their need for closure. Find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean score on the “need for closure scale” for all students with a high need for closureIn the journal Mental Retardation, an article reported the results of a peer tutoring program to help mildly mentally retarded children learn to read. In the experiment, Form 2 of the Gates-MacGintie Reading Test was administered to both an experimental group and a control group after 6 weeks of instruction, during which the experimental group received peer tutoring and the control group did not. For the experimental group n1 = 30 children, the mean score on the vocabulary portion of the test was x1 = 368.4, with sample standard deviation s1 = 39.1. The average score on the vocabulary portion of the test for the n2 = 30 subjects in the control group was x2 = 349.0with sample standard deviation s2 = 56.2. Use a 1% level of significance to test the claim that the experimental group performed better than the control group. (a) What is the level of significance? What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Test the difference μ1 − μ2.

The students who had been recipients of an intervention program are in the treatment group and while those who are not are in the control group. Questions:1. Is there a significant difference in the math, reading and IQ scores ofstudents in the treatment and controlgroups?2. Is the intervention program effective?3. Is there a significant difference in the math, reading and IQ scores ofstudentswhen they are grouped according to the extent of their physicaldisability?4.

Lloyd-Richardson, C. Stanton, et al., Am J Health Behav, 2008:3–15) reported that in a group of 230 European-American HIV-positive smokers, 102 of them had used a nicotine patch to try to quit smoking, and in a group of 72 Hispanic-American HIV-positive smokers, 20 had used a nicotine patch. Can you conclude that the proportion of patch users is greater among European-Americans?

According to results obtained by Elbel, Gyamfi, and Kersh(2011), the answer is no. The researchers monitoredthe calorie content of food purchases for children andadolescents in four large fast-food chains before andafter mandatory labeling began in New York City. Although most of the adolescents reported noticing thecalorie labels, apparently the labels had no effect ontheir choices. Data similar to the results obtained showan average of M = 786 calories per meal with s =85 for n =100 children and adolescents before thelabeling, compared to an average of M = 772 calorieswith s = 91 for a similar sample of n = 100 after themandatory posting.a. Use a two-tailed test with a = .05 to determinewhether the mean number of calories after theposting is significantly different than before caloriecontent was posted.b. Calculate r2to measure effect size for the mean difference.Do cell phones increase drivers' reaction times while driving? A 2003 American Journal of Health Education study investigated the effects of cell phone use on reaction time. In the study, 60 participants were randomly selected and placed into one of two groups: the cell phone group or the control group. Those in the control group participated in the experiment with no distractions, whereas those in the cell phone group had access to text documents on a cell phone. Participants in each group were then asked to take a computerized reaction time test. Researchers then recorded each subject's reaction time in seconds. The table shows the results of the experiment.
