A farmer would like to evaluate Miracle Grow when used on his potted daisy plants. He sets up 20 plants in a room all facing the same window, obtaining the same amount of sunlight, and waters them identically each day. For a month, he monitors how much each plant grows. Then, he adds Miracle Grow to every pot and monitors how much each plant grows during a month with Miracle Grow. At the end of two months, he discovers that 14 plants grew more with Miracle Grow. Test the hypothesis that Miracle Grow increases plant growth (using an alpha level of .01).
a) Is this a one-tailed or two-tailed test? (
b) State the null hypothesis.
c) State the alternative hypothesis.
d) Find the critical value(s).
e) Calculate the obtained statistic.
f) Calculate the P-Value (significance) of the obtained statistic).
g) Make a decision.
h) What does your decision mean?
Exercise 4
Twelve people completed a difficult hand-eye coordination task twice: once in a quiet room, and once in the same room while loud rock-and-roll music was being played. The order in which subjects experienced these conditions was counterbalanced: half performed in the quiet environment first, half performed in the loud environment first. The researcher measured the number of errors committed by the participant while performing. Thus, the lower the score, the better the performance. Here are the results:

- In a classic study of infant attachment, Harlow (1959) placed infant monkeys in cages with two artificial surrogate mothers. One “mother” was made from bare wire mesh and contained a baby bottle from which the infants could feed. The other mother was made from soft terry cloth and did not provide any access to food. Harlow observed the infant monkeys and recorded how much time per day was spent with each mother. In atypical day, the infants spent a total of 18 hours clinging to one of the two mothers. If there were no preference between the two, you would expect the time to be divided evenly, with an average of μ=9 hours for each of the mothers. However, the typical monkey spent around 15 hours per day with the terry-cloth mother, indicating a strong preference for the soft, cuddly mother. Suppose a sample of n=9 infant monkeys averaged M=15.3 hours per day with SS=216 with the terry-cloth mother. Is this result sufficient to conclude that the monkeys spent significantly more time with…arrow_forwardYou are interested in finding out if kangaroo rats that have been offered food ad lib(unlimited food) for the previous 24 hours store a different amount of food in their pouches than kangaroo rats that have been starved for 24 hours. You take 8 kangaroo rats and starve them for 24 hours, then offer them food and count how many seeds are stored in their pouches in the next hour. You let your rats rest for one week, and repeat the experiment with the same rats, but offer them unlimited food for the 24 hours prior to the experiment. Run the appropriate statistical test.

They also have half of those who did and did not attend the small-group tutoring session read a cryptic crossword guide.

- Which of the following is the largest number of jobs that could theoretically be within the software industry at present, based on the information available? A) 1,4 million B) 2,4 million C) 4 million D) 8 million E) 10 million Transcribed Image Text:Preparing for Automation The possibility of having robots or mechanical assistants completing our laborious, dangerous, or repetitive day-to-day tasks has long been a dream of humanity. Now, as Robotic Process Automation (RPA) becomes commonplace, this dream or concern, depending on viewpoint - is getting closer. RPA, far from the walking, talking android commonly found in science fiction series, can be thought of as a programmable piece of software which, through using a series of rules, will complete repetitive tasks with a lower error rate and less interruption than a human completing the same tasks. The aim of RPA, beyond improving efficiency, is to free up humans from the monotony of roles like data entry, stock management and…arrow_forwardIn a lumberjack competition, a contestant is blindfolded and spun around 9 times. The blindfolded contestant then tries to hit the target point in the middle of a horizontal log with an axe. The contestant receives 15 points if his hit is within 3 cm of the target, 10 points if his hit is between 3 cm and 10 cm of the target, 5 points if his hit is between 10 cm and 20 cm of the target, and Zero points if his hit is 20 cm or more away from the target. Let Y record the position of the hit, so that Y=y>0 corresponds to missing the target point to the right by y cm Y=-y<0 corresponds to missing the target to the left by y cm. Assume that Y is normally distributed with mean mu=0 and variance 100 cm2. Find the expected number of points that the contestant wins.arrow_forward1. A researcher observed a rat respond for a food reward by pressing one of the three levers in a cage. Pressing the lever to the right (R) produced no food reward. pressing the lever to the left (L) produced a single food pellet, and pressing the lever at the center (C) produced two food pellets. Because the center level produced the largest reward, the researcher hypothesized that the rat would press this lever most often. Each trial ended when the rat produced a level. The researcher recorded lever pressing for 30 trials.
