Find the weighted mean of the two samples.arrow_forwardA researcher predicts that people with higher levels of racism (measured on a scale of 1 to 8, with higher numbers meaning more racism) will offer a smaller starting salary to a potential employee who is a racial minority. Given r = –.62, MX = 5.26, SX = 2.33, MY = 350.23, and SY = 25.03, which of these best characterizes the relationship between racism and salary offers? a. A one-point increase in racism is associated with a 0.06-dollar decrease in starting salary offers. b. A one-point increase in racism is associated with a 6.66-dollar decrease in starting salary offers. c. A practically significant predictive relationship does not exist between these variables d.

Construct a 90% c.i. for the difference between the overall average IQs of exposed and unexposed babies. Assume that both populations are normal.arrow_forward
