A snapdragon plant has red, pink, or white flowers, inherited in an incomplete dominance pattern. It’s height is inherited in a dominant/recessive pattern. It can come in tall (T) or dwarf (homozygous recessive) varieties. What is the ratio expected if you cross a pink-tall (Tt) plant with a pink-short (tt) plant?

Explain why, specifically, the three stories utilized in Experiment 1 were chosen as modes of researching honesty in children for this experiment. How do these stories differ from each other in a way that can be accurately tested? [Introduction] The experimenters chose these stories because parents and teachers regularly use them to promote honesty in children. The three stories use different methods to promote honesty; one promotes honestly in immediate negative consequence (Pinocchio’s nose grows immediately); one teaches that the consequences to lying are long-term (the boy who cries wolf lies so often that no one believes him when the wolf finally comes); the last teaches positive consequences of honesty (George Washington’s father rewards and commends him after he confesses to cutting down the cherry tree).
2. Explain the modified temptation-resistance task used in this experiment. Do you think this is a good task for measuring lying in children? Why or why not? [Methods — Materials and Procedure] Participants played a game with the experimenter that required identifying a type of toy by the sound it made; the children sat with their back to a table, and the experimenter pressed a sound-toggle button on a toy. The children were asked to guess what the toy was. Then, the experimenter said that s/he needed to get a book from the car, placed a new toy on the table, and instructed the participant not to look at the toy. Then, the experimenter returned with a book and read the story that matched the condition. Afterwards, the experimenter asked the children if they peeked at the toy while the experimenter was gone. Responses to the opinion portion of the question will vary.
3. What were the hypotheses for the three stories presented? Be sure to differentiate these predictions between the younger and older children. The authors predicted that the cheaters who heard “the boy who cried wolf” would be more included than cheaters who heard the other stories to confess to cheating (due to the fatal consequences of lying in the story). They also predicted this effect would only be seen in older children because they have a better understanding of death. They expected that children who heard “Pinocchio” would be more likely to confess their cheating behavior across age groups, because the consequences of lying (in this case) involve public humiliation – something that should be relatable across age groups. They also predicted that “George Washington and the Cherry Tree” would be effective in promoting honesty across age groups because the story features the benefits of honesty.
4. Explain the purpose behind why “The Tortoise and the Hare” was used in this experiment. The story “The Tortoise and the Hare” was told in the control condition, because it didn’t involve lying nor discussed the consequences.
5. The children in Experiment 1 were coded into three separate groups. What were these and how was this coding procedure conducted? Non-Peekers, Peekers who lied (liars), and Peekers who confessed (confessors). Peeking was operationalized as the presence or absence of a 90o head turn when the researcher was away. Peekers who confessed when the researcher asked, were coded as confessors; peekers who lied when the researcher asked were coded as liars.
6. Based on the results from Experiment 1, what answer did the authors get to their research question? The researchers found that hearing “George Washington and the Cherry Tree” promoted honesty in children.
7. What was added for Experiment 2, and what was the purpose of adding this factor? The authors changed the story slightly in Exp 2, because they hypothesized that the GW story promoted honesty by illustrating the benefits of honesty, rather than the implications of dishonesty. To test this, they added a new GW story condition but changed the classic ending to focus on the implications of lying.

Important: please show work for each question. Thank you!
In a previous section of PSY230, the second exam was worth 80 points. The scores from that class were normally distributed with a mean (μ ) of 65 and a standard deviation (σ) of 5. If the exam scores were converted to a Z distribution, the distribution would form a perfect bell shape. The following questions require locating individual exam scores on the Z distribution and examine the percentage (or proportion) of cases above or below a score.
Hints: It helps to draw a Z distribution (bell curve) and place John’s and Tom’s Z scores on the distribution for answering the questions. Use the Z table for converting between Z score and area (percentage) of the distribution.
