A researcher in the field of women’s studies wondered if women recall emotional events better than men. She decides to gather some data on the matter. An experiment is conducted in which 10 mean and 10 women were randomly selected and shown 20 highly emotional photographs and then asked to recall them 1 week after the showing. The following recall data are obtained. Scores are indicated as percent correctly recalled.

Using α =0.05 _1tail answer the questions below.

Men	Women
74	87
87	90
64	80
76	77
85	91
86	95
84	89
78	92
77	90
80	94

1. What is the alternative hypothesis? ["Women recall emotional events better than men", "Women recall emotional events worse than men", "Women recall emotional events the same as men", "Women do not recall emotional events better than men"]

2. What is the null hypothesis? ["Women recall emotional events better than men", "Women recall emotional events worse than men", "Women recall emotional events the same as men", "Women do not recall emotional events better than men"]

3. What inferential test is being conducted? ["single sample z test", "single sample t test", "independent group t test", "paired group t test"]

4. What is the obtained statistic? ["3.27", "-3.27", "-0.08", "0.08", "14.65", "-14.65", "2.19", "-2.19"]

5. What is the critical value? ["1.734", "2.101", "1.725", "2.086"]

6. What is your decision? ["reject the null hypothesis", "reject the alternative hypothesis", "accept the null hypothesis", "accept the alternative hypothesis", "retain the null hypothesis"]

7. What is your conclusion? ["We conclude that women recall emotional events better than men", "We conclude that women do not recall emotional events better than men"]

8. What is your effect size? ["large", "medium", "small", "Not applicable as we failed to reject the null hypothesis"]

9. What error might you be making? ["type II", "type I"]

Expert Solution

First we calculate the pooled estimator of s.d and then substitute that into the test statistic formula. The critical value is obtained from STATKEY(image attached for reference). We compare the test statistic with the critical value and make the necessary the conclusion.

2. A women’s group believes that women are offered lower starting salaries than men applying for similar jobs. To test this claim, the group sends 10 women and 10 men to interviews for similar positions at various companies. The women were offered a mean starting salary 0f $29,500 with a standard deviation of $1,100, The men were offered a mean starting salary of $30,500 with standard deviation of $950. Assume that the population standard deviations are different and test the...

5. [2 marks] Can we do better than this? Recall that the human player is at some fixed location (px, py). Your task is to work out how you would sort the array A so that those enemy AIs that need to be marked can be identified in log(N) time.Specifically, complete the following comparison function that would be used while sorting the array A. Here, (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two points from the array A. The function should...

Some studies have shown that in the United States, men spend more than women on Valentine's Day. A researcher wants to estimate how much more men spend by observing the amounts spent for random samples of men and women. We want to estimate the difference (µ men - µ women) using a 90% confidence interval. a) Find the AD (Anderson-Darling) for both Men and Women (using Minitab). (round to 3 decimal places) b) Report the endpoints of the 90% confidence...

Some studies have suggested that, on average, women earn less than men with the same productive characteristics, not because of labor market discrimination, but because they do not have as many occupational choices. Why would occupational choices matter in terms of earnings or employment differences between men and women? Similar, the U.S. used to have laws preventing women from working in certain occupations. Analyze the consequences of this law for male and female workers.

A researcher believes that women today weigh less than in previous years. To investigate this belief, she randomly samples 15 adult women and records their weights. The scores have a mean of 111 lbs. and a standard deviation of 13.4. A local census taken several years ago shows the mean weight of adult women was 120 lbs. What would you conclude using α =0.011tail? Make sure to indicate your hypotheses, your critical value, your decision, and your conclusion. 1. What...

A researcher was interested in investigating if younger women feel more positively toward themselves than older women. She obtains the cooperation of five mother-daughter pairs. The daughters are all college students. She then administers a measure of self-esteem to these ten women. The scores range from zero to ten with ten meaning high self-esteem. The scores are as follows: Mother-Daughter Pair Mother Daughter 1 4 6 2 10 10 3 6 8 4 9 7 5 6 9 1. State...
