Expert Solution

In the given questionnaire, the first question is an example of a filter question.
A filter question is a question that is asked further only if the respondent gives a particular response to previous question. For example : Q. Are you stressed? (a) NO (b) YES,if yes , What are the reasons.
in this questionnaire ,the researcher asks first question "Do you currently smoke cigarettes?" and the next question "How many packs a day do you smoke?" here researcher asks first question in order to determine if they are qualified or experienced enough to answer a subsequent one. Hence, option A . a filter question is the answer.
Option B is not the answer because an open ended questions are those questions that provide opportunity to the respondents to express their opinions and answers in their own way.
Option C is not the answer because a vignett is a method that can elicit perceptions,opinions,beliefs, and attitudes from responses or comments to stories depicting scenarios and situations.
Option D is not the answer because a skip pattern is a question that is associated with conditional response. for example : a question asked for gender a) Male or b) Female.

A researcher wanted to learn whether the urge to smoke cigarettes was associated with the number of times a person exercised in the last week. So the researcher gathered 10 who smoke for the study. Participants were asked to rate their urge to smoke on a scale of 0 (no urge) to 10 (extreme urge), and to give the number of times each had worked out in the last week. Using the data below, an alpha of .05 (two-tailed), use...

A researcher claimed that less than 20% of adults smoke cigarettes. A Gallup survey of 1016 randomly selected adults showed that 17% of the respondents smoke. Is this evidence to support the researcher’s claim? (a) What is the sample proportion, ˆp, for this problem? (b) State the null and alternative hypothesis. H0 : p = H1 : p < Note that you should have written the same number in the null and alternative hypotheses. This is the value that the...

Upper Slobbovians smoke 10 million cigarettes per year; so do Lower Slobbovians. To discourage smoking, each country imposes an excise tax of 50 cents per pack. As a result, the price of cigarettes rises by 35 cents per pack in Upper Slob … but by only 15 cents per pack in Lower Slob. Assuming the slope of the supply curves are identical in both countries but that the slope of the demand curves vary, in which country does the tax...
