A group of Psychology students was interested in writing a paper
for their research class
concerning the difference between girls and boys and their
friendships. They determined
to study primary school aged children on the playgrounds of
schools. They hypothesized
that girls would pursue narrower, more intense friendship groups
than boys, that is, they
would interact with fewer other children than would the boys on
average. They selected
30 boys and 30 girls to watch at their schools. On average...

When group is truly selected randomly from a
population, the probability of its mean value being higher than the
parameter mean is
a. 0.00
b. .50
c. 1.00
d. .33
Whenever the mean of the distribution of differences
equals zero, then one can be fairly safe in concluding that:
a. the samples probably represent a single
population
b. the samples probably represent different populations
c. there was absolutely no sampling error
d. actual standard score
Sampling error is assumed to...

a. Find a 95% confidence interval for the mean test score for
all students.
b. Interpret this 95% CI for the population mean.
c. What is the margin of error?

A certain paper describes a study of the possible cardiovascular
benefits of active video games. Mean heart rate for healthy boys
ages 10 to 13 after walking on a treadmill at 2.6 km/hour for 6
minutes is known to be 98 beats per minute (bpm). For each of 14
boys in this age group, heart rate was measured after 15 minutes of
playing Wii Bowling. The resulting sample mean and standard
deviation were 104 bpm and 16 bpm, respectively. Assume...

A company manufactures printers and fax machines at plants
located in Atlanta, Dallas, and Seattle. To measure how much
employees at these plants know about quality management, a random
sample of 6 employees was selected from each plant and the
employees selected were given a quality awareness examination. The
examination scores for these 18 employees are shown in the
following table. The sample means, sample variances, and sample
standard deviations for each group are also provided. Managers want
to use...

TRUE OR FALSE:
1. The sampling distribution of (X-bar) is
always a normal distribution according to the Central limit
theorem.
4. If the sampled population is a normal distribution, then the
sampling distribution of (X-bar is normal only for a
large enough sample size.
5. If p=.8 and n=50, then we can conclude that the sampling
distribution of the proportions is approximately a normal
distribution.
8. Assuming the same level of significancea, as the
sample size increases, the critical t-value...
