In a study examining the effect of humor on interpersonal attractions, McGee and Shevlin (2009) found that a man's sense of humor had significant effect on how he was perceieved by woman. In the study, female college students were given brief descriptions of a po tential romantic partner and then rated the attractiveness of the male on a scale from 1 (low) to 7 (high). The fictitious male was described positively as being single , ambitious, and having good job prospects. In one dition, the description also said that he had a great sense of humor. The results showed that the description was rated significantly higher when "a sense of humor" was included. To further examine this effect, a researcher selected a sample of n = 16colle college males and asked them to read a brief description of a female and then rate the attractiveness of the woman in the description . The description had been used in previous research but was modified by adding a statement describing a good sense of humor…
A group of psychologists recently examined the how odor influences emotion between male and female. Three groups of participants (half male, half female) were first subjected to different types of smell (pleasant, neutral, and unpleasant), and then filled out questionnaire of happiness. The data present the pattern of results obtained in the study, with higher scores indicating a higher level of happiness

Sociologists published a study on the link between the level of masculinity and criminal behavior in men. Using a sample of newly incarcerated men, the researcher
identified 1,179 violent events and 531 events in which violence was avoided that the men were involved in. Each of the sampled men took the Masculinity-Femininity
Scale (MFS) test to determine his level of masculinity, based on common male stereotyped traits. MFS scores ranged from 0 to 56 points, with lower scores indicating a
more masculine orientation. One goal of the research was to compare the mean MFS scores for two groups of men: those involved in violent events and those who
avoided violent events.
a. Identify the target parameter for this study. Let μ₁ = mean MFS score for the violent-event group and μ₂ = mean MFS score for the avoided-violent-event group. Choose
the correct answer below.

The variable of interest, relational intimacy score, was measured (on a 7-point scale) for each participant after each of three different meeting sessions.

Subjects in the control group received a placebo and the subjects in the two treatment groups received either a 0.2 mg or a 0.4 mg dosage of the drug. After several weeks of drug (or placebo) treatment, the researcher measured the subjects' level of depression (a low score indicating greater depression) The following data were obtained.
