A personality psychologist wanted to know if men and women differ in their sympathy and compassion expressed to others. She gave a personality test to randomly selected men and women. One component of the test measured empathy, with higher scores indicating more empathy. The data are shown in the spreadsheet. Carry out a t-test on H0: μ M = μ W (population means for Men and Women are the same) vs. Ha: μ M ≠ μ W (population means for Men and Women differ) at the alpha=.05 level.

This table has three seats on each of the longer sides of the table, and one seat at each end of the table. The seats at the end of the table are considered to be the dominant seats. (A diagram may help you to visualize this). a. If the people choose their seats randomly, determine...

A behavioral psychologist wanted to know if making a public commitment to lose weight will make a difference in how much weight is actually lost. He obtained 14 volunteers who wanted to lose weight and randomly assigned them to one of two groups. The “commitment” group met together and each participant stood and announced an intent to lose weight and signed a pledge to adhere to the diet and exercise regimen. The “control” was placed on the same diet and...

A psychologist wanted to know if students in her class were more likely to cheat if they were low achievers. She divided her 60 students into three groups (low, middle, and high) based on their mean course-testings score on the previous three tests. She then asked them to rate how likely they were to cheat on an course-testings if the opportunity presented itself with very limited chance for consequences. The students rated their desire to cheat on a scale ranging...
