In a study of memory process, rats were first presented with a fear-inducing stimulus on a learning task as soon as they stepped across a line in a test chamber. Afterwards, the rats were divided and given electrical stimulation either 50 or 150 milliseconds after crossing the line. In addition, the rats differed in terms of the area in which the stimulation electrodes were implanted in their brains (Neutral Area, Area A, or Area B). Researchers were interested in the time it took the animals to re-cross the line on a subsequent learning task. The idea is that stimulation of certain areas in the brain would interfere with memory and hence delay learning to avoid the line on the subsequent learning task. The data on time to re-cross the line are below. What can be concluded with an α of 0.05?

Dentists make many people nervous. To see whether such nervousness elevates blood pressure, the blood pressure and pulse rates of 60 subjects were measured in a dental setting and in a medical setting.

Summary data are given below.

Do faculty and students have similar perceptions of what types of behavior are inappropriate in the classroom? This question was examined by the author of an article. Each individual in a random sample of 173 students in general education classes at a large public university was asked to judge various behaviors on a scale from 1 (totally inappropriate) to 5 (totally appropriate). Individuals in a random sample of 98 faculty members also rated the same behaviors.

The mean rating for three of the behaviors studied are shown here (the means are consistent with data provided by the author of the article). The sample standard deviations were not given, but for purposes of this exercise, assume that they are all equal to 1.0.
