Suppose you wanted to evaluate the performance of the three judges in Smallville, Texas: Judge Adams, Judge Brown, and Judge Carter. Over a three-year period in Smallville, Judge Adams saw 24% of the cases, Judge Brown saw 31% of the cases, and Judge Carter saw the remainder of the cases. 4% of Judge Adams' cases were appealed, 7% of Judge Brown's cases were appealed, and 8% of Judge Carter's cases were appealed. (See the case problem on pages 216-218 of your textbook for a similar problem.) Question 3 Given thejudge in a case from this three-year period was not Judge Brown, what is the probability the case was not appealed?

In her last semester at SPC, Polly Hedron needs to take Statistics, Composition 2, and Ethics.  Because Polly is registering early, she has 16 choices for her section of Statistics, 20 choices for her section of Composition, and 11 choices for her section of Ethics.  From how many possible schedules can Polly choose? (You may presume that none of these sections interfere with each other)

Rebecca Chory, Ph.D., now an associate professor of communication at West Virginia University, began studying the effect of such portrayals on patients' attitudes toward physicians. Using a survey of 300 undergraduate students, she compared perceptions of physicians in 1992—the end of the era when physicians were shown as all-knowing, wise father figures—with those in 1999, when shows such as ER and Chicago Hope (1994–2000) were continuing the transformation to showing the private side and lives of physicians, including vivid demonstrations of their weaknesses and insecurities. Dr. Chory found that, regardless of the respondents' personal experience with physicians, those who watched certain kinds of television had declining perceptions of physicians' composure and regard for others. Her results indicated that the more prime time physician shows that people watched in which physicians were the main characters, the more uncaring, cold, and unfriendly the respondents thought physicians…

As you read about each​ study, (a) classify the type of research that it​ reflects, and​ (b) identify the kinds of conclusions that might reasonably be drawn from the results. An educational psychologist videotapes 20 high school history teachers in action for a period of 4 weeks. He then codes every teacher statement as belonging to one of three​ categories: whether it​ (a) presents new​ information, (b) asks a​ question, or​ (c) gives instructions. He summarizes this information and compares the amount of teacher questioning to the​ students' scores on a​ district-wide history achievement test given later in the year. The researcher finds that when teachers ask a lot of questions in​ class, students are more likely to score at high levels on the achievement test. ​(a) Classify the research as one of the​ following:   ​Quantitative/descriptive   ​Quantitative/correlational   ​Quantitative/experimental   ​Quantitative/quasi-experimental   Qualitative   Mixed​ methods, and…
