Choice blindness is the term that psychologists use to describe a situation in which a person expresses a preference and then doesn't notice when they receive something different than what they asked for. The authors of the paper "Can Chocolate Cure Blindness? Investigating the Effect of Preference Strength and Incentives on the Incidence of Choice Blindness"† wondered if choice blindness would occur more often if people made their initial selection by looking at pictures of different kinds of chocolate compared with if they made their initial selection by looking at the actual different chocolate candies.

Suppose that 200 people were randomly assigned to one of two groups. The 100 people in the first group are shown a picture of eight different kinds of chocolate candy and asked which one they would like to have. After they selected, the picture is removed and they are given a chocolate candy, but not the one they actually selected. The 100 people in the second group are shown a tray with the eight different kinds of candy and asked which one they would like to receive. Then the tray is removed and they are given a chocolate candy, but not the one they selected.

If 22 of the people in the picture group and 13 of the people in the actual candy group failed to detect the switch, would you conclude that there is convincing evidence that the proportion who experience choice blindness is different for the two treatments (choice based on a picture and choice based on seeing the actual candy)? Test the relevant hypotheses using a 0.01 significance level. (Let p1 be the proportion who experience choice blindness based on a picture treatment, and p2 be the proportion who experience choice blindness based on seeing the actual candy treatment.)

State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses.

H0: p1 − p2 = 0

Ha: p1 − p2 ≠ 0

H0: p1 − p2 > 0

Ha: p1 − p2 < 0

    

H0: p1 − p2 = 0

Ha: p1 − p2 > 0

H0: p1 − p2 = 0

Ha: p1 − p2 < 0

H0: p1 − p2 < 0

Ha: p1 − p2 > 0

Find the test statistic and P-value. (Use a table or technology. Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to four decimal places.)

P-value=

State your conclusion.

We reject H0. We have convincing evidence that the proportion who experience choice blindness is different for the two treatments.

We fail to reject H0. We do not have convincing evidence that the proportion who experience choice blindness is different for the two treatments.

A study was done to investigate what people think is "creepy." Each person in a sample of women and a sample of men were asked to do the following. Imagine a close friend of yours whose judgment you trust. Now imagine that this friend tells you that she or he just met someone for the first time and tells you that the person was creepy. The people in the samples were then asked whether they thought the creepy person was...

The report titled "Digital Democracy Survey"† stated that 31% of the people in a representative sample of adult Americans age 33 to 49 rated a landline telephone among the three most important services that they purchase for their home. In a representative sample of adult Americans age 50 to 68, 48% rated a landline telephone as one of the top three services they purchase for their home. Suppose that the samples were independently selected and that the sample size was...

A company surveyed adult Americans about their consumer debt. They reported that 46% of Millennials (those born between 1980 and 1996) and 61% of Gen Xers (those born between 1965 and 1971) did not pay off their credit cards each month and therefore carried a balance from month to month. Suppose that these percentages were based on representative samples of 450 Millennials and 300 Gen Xers. Is there convincing evidence that the proportion of Gen Xers who do not pay...

A report summarizes a survey of people in two independent random samples.

The parents of young adults were...

Birds use color to select and avoid certain types of food. The authors of a particular article studied the pecking behavior of 1-day-old bobwhites. In an area painted white, they inserted four pins with different colored heads. The color of the pin chosen on the bird's first peck was noted for each of 34 bobwhites, resulting in the accompanying table.
