Chapter 12.9, Problem 12.100ACB

Shared leadership in airplane crews. Refer to the Human Factors (March 2014) study of shared leadership by the cockpit and cabin crews of a commercial airplane. Exercise 8.14 (p. 442). Recall that simulated flights were taken by 84 six-person crews, where each crew consisted of a 2-person cockpit (captain and first officer) and a 4-person cabin team (three flight attendants and a purser.) During the simulation, smoke appeared in the cabin and the reactions of the crew were monitored for teamwork. One key variable in the study was the team goal attainment score, measured on a 0 to 60 point scale. Multiple regression analysis was used to model team goal attainment (y) as a function of the independent variables job experience of purser (x₁), job experience of head flight attendant (x₂), gender of purser (x₃). gender of head flight attendant (x₄), leadership score of purser (x₅), and leadership score of head flight attendant (x₆).

a. Write a complete, first-order model for E(y) as a function of the six independent variables.
b. Consider a test of whether the leadership score of either the purser or the head flight attendant (or both) is statistically useful for predicting team goal attainment. Give the null and alternative hypotheses as well as the reduced model for this test.
c. The two models were fit to the data for the n = 60 successful cabin crews with the following results: R² = .02 for reduced model, R² = .25 for complete model, On the basis of this information only, give your opinion regarding the null hypothesis for successful cabin crews.
d. The p-value of the subset F-test for comparing the two models for successful cabin crews was reported in the article as p < .05. Formally test the null hypothesis using α =.05. What do you conclude?
e. The two models were also fit to the data for the n = 24 unsuccessful cabin crews with the following results: R² = .14 for reduced model, R² = .15 for complete model. On the basis of this information only, give your opinion regarding the null hypothesis for unsuccessful cabin crews.
f. The p-value of the subset F-test for comparing the two models for unsuccessful cabin crews was reported in the article as p < .10. Formally test the null hypothesis using α =.05. What do you conclude?

A U.S. study published in The American Journal of Preventive Medicine compared state-level prevalence of firearm ownership in 2002 with state-level rates of firearm assault and firearm robbery in the subsequent year. The investigators found a positive association - meaning that states with higher prevalence of firearm ownership also tended to be the states with higher rates of firearm assault. Which design best describes this study? a)Observational cohort study b)Randomized trial c)Case-control study d)Ecological study

In studies examining the effect of humor on interpersonal attractions, McGee and Shevlin (2009) found that an individual’s sense of humor had a significant effect on how the individual was perceived by others. In one part of the study, female college students were given brief descriptions of a potential romantic partner. The fictitious male was described positively as being single and ambitious and having good job prospects. For one group of participants, the description also said that he had a great sense of humor. For another group, it said that he has no sense of humor. After reading the description, each participant was asked to rate the attractiveness of the man on a seven-point scale from 1 (very unattractive) to 7 (very attractive). A score of 4 indicates a neutral rating. The females who read the “great sense of humor” description gave the potential partner an average attractiveness score of M = 4.53 with a standard deviation of s = 1.04. If the sample consisted of n = 16…
