A team of psychologists studied the concept of visualization in basketball, where players visualize making a basket before shooting the ball. They conducted an experiment in which 20 basketball players with similar abilities were randomly assigned to two groups. The 10 players in group 1 received visualization training, and the 10 players in group 2 did not.
Each player stood 22 feet from the basket at the same location on the basketball court. Each player was then instructed to attempt to make the basket until two consecutive baskets were made. The players who received visualization training were instructed to use visualization techniques before attempting to make the basket. The total number of attempts, including the last two attempts, were recorded for each player.
The total number of attempts for each of the 20 players are summarized in the following boxplots.
(a) Based on the boxplots, did basketball players who received visualization training tend to need fewer attempts…

- The majority of clothing retailers use mannequins to display their merchandise, with approximately one‑third displaying mannequins with heads and two‑thirds displaying mannequins without heads. Researchers recruited 126 female participants and assigned each to one of the two mannequin styles (head/headless). Participants were asked to imagine that they wanted to buy a new dress and told to go to a named store to make their purchase. They then viewed the dress displayed on a mannequin (head or headless) and were asked whether or not they would buy the dress. Of the 63 participants viewing the dress displayed on a mannequin with a head, 18 indicated that they would buy the dress, while only 10 of the 63 participants viewing the headless mannequin indicated that they would buy the dress. Assuming the conditions are met, calculate the test statistic and ?-value. Give the test statistic to two decimal places and ?-value to four decimal places.arrow_forwardThe majority of clothing retailers use mannequins to display their merchandise, with approximately one‑third displaying mannequins with heads and two‑thirds displaying mannequins without heads.

Can another person touching a product create a positive reaction? Subjects were given instructions to contact a sales associate at a university bookstore who would provide them with a shirt to try on. When meeting the sales associate, subjects were told that there was only one shirt left and it was being tried on by another “customer.” The other customer trying on the shirt was a confederate of the experimenter and was either an attractive, well-dressed professional female model or an average-looking female college student wearing jeans and a tee shirt. Subjects, who were either males or females, saw the confederate leaving the dressing room, where the shirt was left for them to try on. There was also a control group of subjects who were handed the shirt directly off the rack by the sales associate. Thus, there were five treatments:…arrow_forward
- A researcher wanted to study the tendency of people’s choices to be influenced by their environment, so she conducted an experiment. The researcher recruited 90 volunteers. She randomly assigned 30 to sit in a room with red walls, 30 to sit in a room with yellow walls, and 30 to sit in a room with orange walls. After sitting in the room for a while doing mundane activities, she offered them all a snack of strawberries, bananas, or oranges. For each individual, she recorded which room the participant was in and which snack they chose. The data are displayed in the table. The researcher would like to know if these data provide convincing evidence that the distribution of snack choice differs for the various room colors in the population of all volunteers like these. Are the conditions for inference met?arrow_forwardThe director of student services at San Bernardino Valley College is interested in whether women are more likely to attend orientation than men before they begin their coursework.

Her results suggest that parents talked less to the babies, the babies had higher heart rates, and they were less likely to fall asleep in away-facing strollers than in parent-facing strollers. You are interested in testing the hypothesis that babies who travel in parent-facing strollers have different expressive vocabularies than babies who travel in away-facing strollers. You randomly assign 13 newborns to parent-facing strollers and 13 newborns to away-facing strollers. You then test the babies’ expressive vocabularies at age 36 months using the Expressive Vocabulary Test (EVT), which is designed primarily to assess children’s expressive vocabulary. The sample means and sums of squares of the scores for each of…arrow_forward

In one question, participants were asked, "If a search engine kept track of what you search for, and then used that information to personalize your future search results, how would you feel about that?" Respondents could indicate either "Would not be okay with it because you feel it is an invasion of your privacy" or "Would be okay with it, even if it means they are gathering information about you." Frequencies of responses by age group are summarized in the following table.
