Chapter 9.2, Problem 27BB

No Variation in a Sample An experiment was conducted to test the effects of alcohol. Re-searchers measured the breath alcohol levels for a treatment group of people who drank ethanol and another group given a placebo. The results are given below (based on data from “Effects of Alcohol Intoxication on Risk Taking, Strategy, and Error Rate in Visuomotor Performance,” by Streufert et al.. Journal of Applied Psychology, Vol. 77, No. 4). Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the two sample groups come from populations with the same mean.

Treatment Group: n₁ = 22, x ¯ 1 = 0.049, s₁ = 0.015

Placebo Group: n₂ = 22, x ¯ 2 = 0.000, s₂ = 0.000

Stressed-Out Bus Drivers. Previous studies have shown that urban bus drivers have an extremely stressful job, and a large proportion of drivers retire prematurely with disabilities due to occupational stress. In the paper, “Hassles on the Job: A Study of a Job Intervention With Urban Bus Drivers” (Journal of Organizational Behavior, Vol. 20, pp. 199–208), G. Evans et al. examined the effects of an intervention program to improve the conditions of urban bus drivers.Amongother variables, the researchers monitored diastolic blood pressure of bus drivers in downtown Stockholm, Sweden. The data, in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg), on the WeissStats site are based on the blood pressures obtained prior to intervention for the 41 bus drivers in the study. Use the technology of your choice to do the following. a. Obtain a normal probability plot, boxplot, histogram, and stemand-leaf diagram of the data. b. Based on your results from part (a), can you reasonably apply the one-mean t-test to the…

In a study examining the effect of alcohol on reaction time, Liguori and Robinson (2001) found that evenmoderate alcohol consumption significantly slowed response time to an emergency situation in a drivingsimulation. In a similar study, researchers measured reaction time 30 minutes after participants consumed one6-ounce glass of wine. Again, they used a standardized driving simulation task for which the regular populationaverages μ = 400 msec. The distribution of reaction times is approximately normal with σ = 40. Assume that theresearcher obtained a sample mean of M = 422 for the n = 25 participants in the study.a. Are the data sufficient to conclude that the alcohol has a significant effect on reaction time? Use a two-tailed testwith α = .01.

A Canadian study measuring depression level in teens (as reported in the Journal of Adolescence, vol. 25, 2002) randomly sampled 112 male teens and 101 female teens, and scored them on a common depression scale (higher score representing more depression). The researchers suspected that the mean depression score for male teens is higher than for female teens, and wanted to check whether data would support this hypothesis. What conclusion can you draw from the output? The data provide sufficient evidence to reject H0 and to conclude that the mean depression score for male teens is larger than that of female teens. The data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that male and female teens do not differ in mean depression score. The data do not provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean depression score of male teens is larger than that of female teens. The data do not provide sufficient evidence to reject H0, so we accept it, and conclude that male and female teens do…
