Weinstein, McDermott, and Roediger (2010) report that students who were given questions to be answered while studying new material had better scores when tested on the material compared to students who were simply given an opportunity to reread the material. In a similar study, an instructor in a large psychology class gave one group of students questions to be answered while studying for the final exam. The overall average for the exam was μ = 73.4, but the n = 16 students who answered questions had a mean of M = 78.3 with a standard deviation of s = 8.4. For this study, did answering questions while studying produce significantly higher exam scores? Use a one-tailed test with α = .01

Researchers interested in lead exposure due to car exhaust sampled the blood of 52 police officers subjected to constant inhalation of automobile exhaust fumes while working traffic enforcement in a primarily urban environment. The blood samples of these officers had an average lead concentration of 124.32 µg/l and a SD of 37.74 µg/l; a previous study of individuals from a nearby suburb, with no history of exposure, found an average blood level concentration of 35 µg/l. Test the hypothesis that the downtown police officers have a higher lead exposure than the group in the previous study. Interpret your results in context. Based on your preceding result, without performing a calculation, would a 99% confidence interval for the average blood concentration level of police officers contain 35 µg/l? Based on your preceding result, without performing a calculation, would a 99% confidence interval for this difference contain 0? Explain why or why not.
An article in Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy (2005, Vol. 13, pp. 273-279) considered arthroscopic meniscal repair with an absorbable screw. Results showed that for tears greater than 25 millimeters, 14 of 18 (78%) repairs were successful, but for shorter tears, 22 of 30 (73%) repairs were successful. A doctor would like to know if there is evidence that the success rate is greater for longer tears. The P-value for the test H0: p1 = p2 versus H1: p1 > p2 is closest to:

Write down the hypotheses that would be appropriate for testing if the police officers appear to have been exposed to a higher concentration of lead. Explicitly state and check all conditions necessary for inference on these data. Test the hypothesis that the downtown police officers have a higher lead exposure than the group in the previous study. Interpret your results in context.

(b) what are Ho and Ha? (c) with alpha=.05, what is rcrit ?
A survey among the workers in a large manufacturing company was taken, in order to findout from which company the workers had purchased their mobile phones, and to find outwhether the choice of mobile phone company was related to the type of worker. The resultsare shown in the table below. ls there evidence, at 5% level, that the choice of Phone Company is independent of the type ofworker?
Compare the two separate scatterplots. In particular, how do the associtation compare between women with pets vs. women without pets?

If so, for which group?
A nationwide study of undergraduate students reported that the mean number of drinks consumed per week during the spring semester is 7.96. The mean number of drinks consumed per week at USC is 7.64 (s.d.=2.55, N=412 Health services is concerned that USC students are consuming significantly more alcohol per week than the national average. Using an alpha level of .05, Is there sufficient evidence to be concerned? Be sure to select the correct critical value for the alternative hypothesis, and then use this evidence to make your conclusion
A fisheries biologist collected a random sample of fish from a lake and conducted a chi-square goodness-of-fit test to see if the distribution of fish changed over time. The table below shows the distribution of fish that were put into the lake when it was originally stocked. Fish Type Trout Bass Perch Sunfish Catfish Percent 25% 25% 20% 15% 15% The biologist found evidence to reject the null hypothesis in favor of the alternative hypothesis. Which of the following represents the alternative hypothesis of the test?

If the value of Cronbach’s alpha is 0.07, it means ___________; a. Research instrument is not reliable b. Research instrument is internally consistent c. Data is reliable d. Data is internally consistent
In a study attempting to replicate findings by Stephens, Atkins, & Kingston (2009), each participant was asked to plunge a hand into the icy water and keep it there as long as the pain would allow. In one condition, the participants repeated their favorite curse words while their hands were in the water. In the other condition, they repeated neutral words. The original research showed that, in addition to lowering the participants’ perception of pain, swearing also increased the amount of time they were able to tolerate the pain. Data similar to the results obtained in the study are shown in the following table: _____________Amount of Time (in Seconds)_ Participant Swear Words Neutral Words 1 94 59 2 70 61 3 52 47 4…
