• Obama was expected to give his keynote speech on Tuesday night 27 July. Before his presentation, some Obama advisors were worried, because it was the first time he had used a teleprompter.Obama soon went into a brief autobiographical session talking about his grand-dad made a living by working as a servant for the British, to his own dad who had got a scholarship so that he could come to the United States. Then talked about his mother's family, explaining his grandfather fighting in World War II under Patton while his grandmother was working and taking care of his mom..  

• He spoke about the simple librety enunciated in the Declaration of Independence, and he said in the 2004 election he thought was a time to reassure these values and remember that "We have more work to do." He then went on to mention several Americans he met who weren’t doing good with jobs, healthcare, and education, saying that "they don't expect the government to fix all their problems, but they hope, deep in their hearts, that with just a small change in priorities, we can ensure that every child in America has a fair shot at life and that the doors in opportunity remain open to all.In the next piece of his speech, Obama addressed John Kerry, stating his core principles and convictions on a variety of topics, interrupted by a tale of a young Marine he had met and affirmed that when military action is conducted, the families and soldiers involved must be looked after and that there is a duty to never go to war without adequate troops to win the war, secure peace and gain world respect. "Obama subsequently returned to Kerry and expressed his determination to keep America safe. Obama then discussed the notions of community and cohesion in America that individuals suffering elsewhere affects us even though we are not directly involved in it.

Free will is an important concept to individuals and societies. In the context of cognitive neuroscience, mounting evidence suggests that free will is an illusion, constructed by processes in the brain, similar to visual illusions. Recent research has demonstrated that people who believe in free will tend to also believe in the paranormal (Mogi, 2014). A psychologist at Arizona State University (ASU) wanted to replicate this study with students in the psychology major. Following the procedure of Mogi (2014), an anonymous survey was sent to students with a call to participate in a “study of free will.” There was no mention of paranormal beliefs at this stage. One thousand and thirty-eight (1038) students completed the following survey. First, subjects were asked a series of questions regarding their belief in free will. After the free will questions, subjects were asked a series of questions regarding their belief in the paranormal. Care was taken so that the questions related to the paranormal was not phrased in a way that suggested a correlation between free will and the paranormal. Below are the findings:

1. (Test of Independence) The researcher now wants to look at just the psychology students at ASU. Does this data suggest a significant relationship between belief in free will and belief in the paranormal amongst the budding psychologists at ASU?
   
   1. Which variables are being tested in this Test of Independence?
      
   2. What are the hypothesis (H₁), the null hypothesis (H₀), and alpha level?
      

3. What is the df value for the chi-square statistic?
4. What is the population size?
5. Using SPSS and the dataset, ParaFW.csv, conduct a Test of Independence. What is the chi-square statistic and p-value?
   

1. 6. BY HAND! Calculate the chi-square statistic for this test of independence with α = .05.
      
2. 7. Conduct a measure the Effect Size. Is this effect size small, medium, or large?
      

State your decision: Based on your statistical analysis, does this data suggest a significant relationship between belief in free will and belief in the paranormal amongst the budding psychologists at ASU?
