A researcher suspects that the actual prevalence of generalized anxiety among children and adolescents is higher than the previously reported prevalence of generalized anxiety disorder among children and adolescents. The previously reported prevalence of generalized anxiety disorder among children and adolescents is 4.1%, and the researcher conducts a study to test the accuracy of the previously reported prevalence of generalized anxiety disorder by recruiting 98 children and adolescents from various pediatricians' offices and tests them for generalized anxiety disorder using the DSM-5. The researcher determines that the prevalence of generalized anxiety disorder among the participants of the study is 6.8%. What should the researcher's conclusion be for a 5% significance level? A) We reject H0 at the 5% level because 1.35 is less than -1.96. We do have statistically significant evidence to show the actual prevalence of generalized anxiety disorder among children and adolescents is above the previously reported prevalence of 4.1%. B) We fail to reject H0 at the 5% level because 1.35 is less than 1.645. We do not have statistically significant evidence to show the actual prevalence of generalized anxiety disorder among children and adolescents is above the previously reported prevalence of 4.1%. C) We fail to reject H0 at the 5% level because 1.09 is less than 1.96. We do not have statistically significant evidence to show the actual prevalence of generalized anxiety disorder among children and adolescents is above the previously reported prevalence of 4.1%. D) We fail to reject H0 at the 5% level because 43.56 is greater than 1.645. We do not have statistically significant evidence to show the actual prevalence of generalized anxiety disorder among children and adolescents is above the previously reported prevalence of 4.1%.

A researcher suspects that the actual prevalence of generalized anxiety among children and adolescents is higher than the previously reported prevalence of generalized anxiety disorder among children and adolescents. The previously reported prevalence of generalized anxiety disorder among children and adolescents is 3.9%, and the researcher conducts a study to test the accuracy of the previously reported prevalence of generalized anxiety disorder by recruiting 98 children and adolescents from various pediatricians' offices and tests them for generalized anxiety disorder using the DSM-5. The researcher determines that the prevalence of generalized anxiety disorder among the participants of the study is 6.1%. The researcher's hypothesis, for a level of significance of 5%, should resemble which of the following sets of hypothesis? a) H0: p > .039; Ha: p = .039; alpha = .05 b) H0: p ā¤ .039; Ha: p > .039; alpha = .05 c) H0: p = .061; Ha: p < .061; alpha = .95 d) H0: p < .039: Ha: p > .061; alpha = .95

The researcher determines that the prevalence of generalized anxiety disorder among the participants of the study is 6.1%. For a level of significance of 5%, what should the researcher's decision rule look like? A. Reject H0 if z is greater than or equal to 1.645. B. Reject H0 if z is less than or equal to -1.645. C. Reject H0 if z is less than or equal to -1.96. D. Reject H0 if z is greater than or equal to 1.96.

An experiment that claimed to show that meditation lowers anxiety proceeded as follows. The experimenter interviewed the subjects and rated their level of anxiety. Then the subjects were randomly assigned to two groups. The experimenter taught one group how to meditate and they meditated daily for a month. The other group was simply told to relax more. At the end of the month, the experimenter interviewed all the subjects again and rated their anxiety level. The meditation group now had less anxiety. Psychologists said that the results were suspect because the ratings were not blind. Explain what this means and how lack of blindness could bias the reported results.
