EapatelThe Moon Illusion refers, roughly speaking, to the common experience that the moon appears larger (and closer to us) when it is near the horizon than when itis at its zenith. Wishing to investiçate the causes of the illusion (which are still debated), we have designed an experiment in which participants must adjust thediameter of a variable circular light placed at eye level to match the diameter of a fixed circular light placed well above eye level. (See, for example, Kaufman, L.& Rock, 1. (1989), The moon illusion thirty years later," chapter 8 in M. Hershenson (Ed.) The Moon Musion, Hillsdale, NJ: L. Earlbaum.) We have tested 25participants and recorded for each participant her experimental "adjustable/ fixed ratio."

A medical doctor who had been working in the US states of Arizona and New Mexico moved to the state of Minnesota near the border with North Dakota (see map below). He was surprised when he saw lower mortality rates of skin cancer in Minnesota/North Dakota than he saw in Arizona/New Mexico. Based on his observations that the two northern states had lower mortality rates of skin cancer than the two southern states, he developed the following hypothesis- increasing latitude (moving farther north in the northern hemisphere) causes the mortality rates of skin cancer to decrease. To test this hypothesis he determined the mortality rate of skin cancer in each of the 50 states and determined the latitude of the center of the state. Prediction: if the hypothesis is true, there should be a negative correlation between latitude and skin cancer mortality rates, as shown below. Comment on the doctor’s conclusion that his results show that increasing latitude caused skin cancer mortality…
To see the effect of a relatively small error in the estimate of the amount of carbon-14 in a sample being dated, consider this hypothetical situation: a. A bone fragment found in central Illinois in the year 2000 contains 17% of its original carbon-14 content. Estimate the year the animal died. b. Repeat part (a), assuming 18% instead of 17%. c. Repeat part (a), assuming 16% instead of 17.
A. Clearly state an appropriate null hypothesis and an alternative hypothesis. B. What proportion of deaths occurred while the windows were set at a vertical orientation? C. What statistical test would you use to test the null hypothesis? D. Carry out the statistical test from part (c). Is there evidence that window angle affects the mortality rates of birds?
For each of the following settings, define the parameter of interest and write the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses for the test that is described.

According to published reports, practice under fatigued conditions distorts mechanisms that govern performance. An experiment was conducted using 15 college males, who were trained to make a continuous horizontal right-to-left arm movement from a microswitch to a barrier, knocking over the barrier coincident with the arrival of a clock sweephand to the 6 o’clock position. The absolute value of the difference between the time, in milliseconds, that it took to knock over the barrier and the time for the sweephand to reach the 6 o’clock position (500 msec) was recorded. Each participant performed the task five times under prefatigue and postfatigue conditions, and the sums of the absolute differences for the five performances were recorded. An increase in the mean absolute time difference when the task is performed under postfatigue conditions would support the claim that practice under fatigued conditions distorts mechanisms that govern performance. Assuming the populations to be…
