Study of recall of TV commercials. Refer to the Journal of Applied Psychology (June 2002) completely randomized design study to compare the mean commercial recall scores of viewers of three TV programs, presented in Exercise 9.28 (p. 520). Recall that one program had a violent content code (V) rating, one had a sex content code (S) rating, and one was a neutral TV program. Using Tukey’s method, the researchers conducted multiple comparisons of the three mean recall scores.
- a. How many pairwise comparisons were made in this study?
- b. The multiple comparison procedure was applied to the data and the results are shown in the Minitab printout at the top of the next page. An experimentwise error rate of .05 was used. Locate the confidence interval for the comparison of the V and S groups. Interpret this result practically.
- c. Repeat part b for the remaining comparisons. Which of the groups has the largest mean recall score?
- d. In the journal article, the researchers concluded that “memory for [television] commercials is impaired after watching violent or sexual programming.” Do you agree?

A U.S. study published in The American Journal of Preventive Medicine compared state-level prevalence of firearm ownership in 2002 with state-level rates of firearm assault and firearm robbery in the subsequent year. The investigators found a positive association - meaning that states with higher prevalence of firearm ownership also tended to be the states with higher rates of firearm assault.
Which design best describes this study?
a)Observational cohort study
b)Randomized trial
c)Case-control study
d)Ecological study
Whirling disease is a deadly disease that affects trout in Montana riversIn a follow-up to a 2006 study conducted by the Montana Department of FishWildlife and Parks (FWP)researchers sought to determine if the proportion of trout afflicted by whirling disease in the Gallatin river differs between rainbow trout and brown trout. To test this theory, researchers collected a representative sample of 527 rainbow trout and 459 brown trout. Of the 527 rainbow trout collected, 120 had developed whirling disease; of the 459 brown trout collected, 74 had developed whirling disease Calculate the relative risk of whirling disease for rainbow trout compared to brown trout in this sample.
In randomized, double-blind clinical trials of a new vaccine, children were randomly divided into two groups. Subjects in group 1 received the new vaccine while subjects in group 2 received a control vaccine. After the second dose, 116 of 651 subjects in the experimental group (group 1) experienced fever as a side effect. After the second dose, 73 of 532 of the subjects in the control group (group 2) experienced fever as a side effect. Does the evidence suggest that a higher proportion of subjects in group 1 experienced fever as a side effect than subjects in group 2 at the α=0.10 level of significance?

- What is meant by the sample space of an experiment?arrow_forwardA study of the effects of color on reducing anxiety compared anxiety test scores of participants who completed the test printed on either soft yellow paper or on harsh green paper. The scores for five participants who completed the test printed on the yellow paper were 17, 19, 28, 21, and 18. The scores for four participants who completed the test on the green paper were 20, 26, 17, and 24. Using the .05 level, one-tailed (predicting lower anxiety scores for the yellow paper), what should the researcher conclude?arrow_forwardIn a study of the effectiveness of a fabric device that acts like a support stocking for a weak or damaged heart, 110 people who consented to treatment were assigned at random to either a standard treatment consisting of drugs or the experimental treatment that consisted of drugs plus surgery to install the stocking. After two years, 30% of the 60 patients receiving the stocking had improved and 24% of the patients receiving the standard treatment had improved. (Use a statistical computer package to calculate the P-value. Use pexperimental − pstandard. Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to four decimal places.) z = ?

- In a study to determine if using low-intensity laser therapy reduces pain for orthodontic patients who are fitted with new braces, patients were randomly assigned to either a control group (who did not receive laser treatment) or an experimental group who did receive laser treatment.† The researchers found that the mean pain rating was lower for those in the laser treatment group than for those in the control group both two days and six days after receiving braces. The researchers used these data to determine if there was evidence to support the claim that the mean pain rating is lower for patients who receive the laser treatment. Answer the four key questions.

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_forwardAn industrial/organizational psychologist has been consulting with a company that runs weekend job-seeking workshops for the unemployed. She collected data on several issues related to these workshops and, after conducting statistical tests, obtained statistically significant findings. She needs to find a way to evaluate effect size so that she can make recommendations to the company. One of the psychologist’s findings is that immediately after the workshop, a sample of 81 job seekers who received training on using the Internet to find job listings worked more than 30 hours per week an average of 8.7 months in the last year, with a standard deviation of 4.1. The typical job seeker works 7.4 months. The psychologist finds that the estimated Cohen’s d is , the t statistic is 2.83, and r² is . Using Cohen’s d and Cohen’s guidelines for interpreting the effect size with the estimated Cohen’s d, there is a treatment effect. Using r² and the extension of Cohen’s guidelines…arrow_forward
- A low-level CDC bureaucrat wants to please his boss by gathering evidence thatthe current government-mandated shutdown of society is not causing people’s mentalhealth to deteriorate, so that it can safely be continued for several years if anyexpert says it’s necessary.He polls a random sample of 1600 citizens, gathering data on such items asincome loss, weight gain, access to toilet paper, hours spent binge-watchingNetflix, and number of injuries caused by household fights, and compiles all thisinto a scientifically-weighted “misery index”.The mean misery index from the sample is 99.2; it seems reasonable to use apopulation standard deviation σ = 19.1.a) Does this information provide significant evidence (at the 5% level) that thenationwide mean misery index is less than 100?
