Textbook Question
Chapter 15.3, Problem 15.27ACI
Does rudeness really matter in the workplace? Refer to the Academy of Management Journal (October 2007) study on rudeness in the workplace, Exercise 8.21 (p. 445). Recall that 98 college students enrolled in a management course were randomly assigned to one of two experimental conditions: rudeness condition (where students were berated by a facilitator for being irresponsible and unprofessional) and control group (no facilitator comments). Each student was asked to write down as many uses for a brick as possible in 5 minutes.
The data are reproduced in the next table (p. 15-20).
- a. Show that although the data for the rudeness condition are approximately
normally distributed , the control group data are skewed. - b. Conduct the appropriate non parametric test (at α = .01) to determine if the true median performance level for students in the rudeness condition is lower than the true median performance level for students in the control group.
- c. Explain why the parametric 2-sample test conducted in Exercise 8.21 is appropriate even though the data for both groups are not normally distributed. (Note that the nonparametric and parametric tests yield the same conclusions.)

An online clothing retailer is testing a new e-mail campaign by sending one version of the e-mail with the word “free” in the subject line (version A) to a group of 1,500 customers and another version of the e-mail with word “discount” in the subject line (version B) to a different group of 1500 customers. After tracking the responses to the two versions of the e-mail advertising, the retailer finds that 75 responded to version A and 105 responded to version B. At 0.05 significance level, can it be concluded that the response rate for version B is higher than the response rate to version A

- What is meant by the sample space of an experiment?arrow_forward. Although there is a popular belief that herbal remedies such as Ginkgo biloba and Ginseng may improve learning and memory in healthy adults, these effects are usually not supported by wellcontrolled research (Persson, Bringlov, Nilsson, and Nyberg, 2004). In a typical study, a researcher obtains a sample of n = 16 participants and has each person take the herbal supplements every day for 90 days. At the end of the 90 days, each person takes a standardized memory test. For the general population, scores from the test form a normal distribution with a mean of μ = 50 and a standard deviation of σ = 12. The sample of research participants had an average of M = 54. Assuming a two-tailed test, state the null hypothesis in a sentence that includes the two variables being examined. Using the standard 4-step procedure, conduct a two-tailed hypothesis test with α = .05 to evaluate the effect of the supplements.arrow_forwardRogers, Farlow, and colleagues (1998) conducted an experiment to investigate whether donepezil improved cognitive function in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease (AD). A total of 1,775 patients were randomly assigned to treatment with either donepezil or a placebo (a look-alike pill with no pharmacological effect). Cognitive function, as measured by the Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale (ADAS-cog), was significantly improved in patients taking donepezil compared with the placebo group at weeks 12, 18, and 24.

- Does It Pay to Plead Guilty? The accompanying table summarizes randomly selected sample data for San Francisco defendants in burglary cases (based on data from “Does It Pay to Plead Guilty? Differential Sentencing and the Functioning of the Criminal Courts,” by Brereton and Casper, Law and Society Review, Vol. 16, No. 1). All of the subjects had prior prison sentences. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the sentence (sent to prison or not sent to prison) is independent of the plea.

Is this a randomized experiment or an observational study? a) Randomized experiment, since researchers gave students standardized tests. b) Observational study, since whether the student took private music lessons was not randomly assigned. c) Observational study, since math scores were not randomly assigned. d) Observational study, since this was not a random sample.arrow_forwardA table represents the possibility of an association between eye color and hair color.
