Vicky is studying whether fishermen catch more fish on cloudy days or sunny days. She observes a sample of fishermen in Portland and records the number of fish caught on a cloudy day. She observes another sample of fishermen in Texas and records the number of fish caught on a sunny. Pablo is studying the same topic. Pablo follows a sample of 10 fishermen for 3 months. Each day he records whether the weather was sunny or cloudy and the number of fish caught. Which researcher should use a Dependent Sample T-test to analyze their data?

Step 1
This is because she is comparing the number of fish caught by the same group of fishermen on different weather conditions (cloudy vs. sunny). The data collected from the same group of fishermen is dependent on each other. Show more…

A researcher is testing the effect of a new cold and flu medication on mental alertness. A sample of n = 16 college students is obtained, and each student is given the normal dose of the medicine. Thirty minutes later, each student's performance is measured on a video game that requires careful attention and quick decision making. The sample has a M = 33 and s^2 = 16. Assuming that scores for students in the regular population average μ = 30, are the data sufficient to conclude that the medication has a significant effect? Use a two-tailed test with α = .05. Make sure to show all 4 steps of hypothesis testing. Compute Cohen's d to measure the size of the effect. Compute r^2 to measure the size of the effect. Write a sentence showing how the outcome of the hypothesis test and the measure of effect size would appear in a research report.

A researcher wants to investigate whether there is a relationship between the number of years of college a person has completed and their place of residence. Three locations were classified for residence (urban, suburban, rural) and three categories for the number of years (No college, four-year degree, advanced degree). A sample of 70 people is selected and classified in a contingency table. The null hypothesis is: Select one: A. H0: A person's place of residence is independent of the number of years of college completed B. H0: A person's place of residence is related to the number of years of college completed C. H0: The location is related to the categories D. H0: A person's place of residence is not independent of the number of years of college completed

Can you help me find the research type, independent variable, dependent variable, and confounding/extraneous variable? 1. Jamee wants to understand the relationship between sugar consumption and ADHD symptoms. To study this relationship, Jamee divides 30 participants into three groups of ten. One group was not allowed to have sugar in their diet at all for the next month. Another group was given 500 mg of sugar each day. The third group received no change to their diet. Address the following items: Research type: IV: DV: CVs (provide 2): 2. Richard wants to study the prevalence of cell phone use in college classrooms. Richard sits outside the window of classroom CLC 104 and counts how many students are caught using their cell phones for at least five minutes during a single class meeting. Address the following items: Research type: IV: DV: CVs (provide 2): 3. A third-grade teacher, Jenny, thinks that students' problem behaviors are reduced by the presence of soothing classical music. For an entire quarter, Jenny plays classical music throughout the school day all the while tracking how many reprimands, detentions, and referrals she provides students. Address the following items: Research type: IV: DV: CVs (provide 2):
