Elaine was enjoying a pleasant day on the ski slopes at Winter Park. When she got on the lift to the top of Parsenn Bowl (12,000 ft), the weather was fine—windy, but sunny. During the 5- or 10-minute ride, the weather changed suddenly; it became a white-out, with icy surface snow, blowing snow, a very strong wind, and extremely low visibility. Many people fell as they got off the lift, including Elaine. However, she got up and joined her family members as they stood, wondering just how they were going to get down the mountain. Meanwhile, the lift closed due to the terrible conditions (50-mile-an-hour wind and a temperature of −20° F). As she adjusted her stance, Elaine somehow twisted and fell again, which resulted in external rotation of her right knee. There was no pain at the time and she thought she could get up and prepare to get down the mountain, but her knee was too unstable. While she sat on the icy surface, her husband notified the lift operator to call the Ski Patrol. In about 20 minutes they arrived and put her on a sled, which they skied down the slope; when they reached the Ski Patrol headquarters, they transferred the sled to a snowmobile and promptly got her down the mountain and into the emergency room.

An amusement park studied methods for decreasing the waiting time (minutes) for rides by loading and unloading riders more efficiently. Two alternative loading/unloading methods have been proposed. To account for potential differences due to the type of ride and the possible interaction between the method of loading and unloading and the type of ride, a factorial experiment was designed. Use the following data to test for any significant effect due to the loading and unloading method, the type of ride, and interaction. Use α = 0.05.

A student who is trying to write a paper for a course has a choice of two topics, A and B. If topic A is chosen, the student will order two books through interlibrary loan, whereas if topic B is chosen, the student will order four books. The student believes that a good paper necessitates receiving and using at least half the books ordered for either topic chosen. If the probability that a book ordered through interlibrary loan actually arrives in time is 0.8 and books arrive independently of one another, which topic should the student choose to maximize the probability of writing a good paper? (Enter your answers to four decimal places.)
| For topic A, P(at least half received) | = . |
| For topic B, P(at least half received) | = . |
Which topic should the student choose if the arrival probability is only 0.6 instead of 0.8? (Enter your answers to four decimal places.)
| For topic A, P(at least half received) | = . |

Consider each of the statements below. For each statement, decide whether it is sometimes, always, or never a true statement.
? Always Sometimes Never 1. In a hypothesis test, the direction of the alternative hypothesis (right-tailed, left-tailed, or two-tailed) affects the way the effect size is estimated.
? Always Sometimes Never 2. In a hypothesis test, the direction of the alternative hypothesis (right-tailed, left-tailed, or two-tailed) affects the way the p-value is computed.
? Always Sometimes Never 3. A hypothesis test that produces a ?p-value <0.001<0.001 will produce an effect size |?̂|>0.8|d^|>0.8
? Always Sometimes Never 4. If two identical studies on the same topic both produced estimated effect sizes less than ?̂=0.6d^=0.6, a third study that uses the same procedures will also produce an estimated effect size less than 0.60.6.
? Always Sometimes Never 5. In general, increasing the sample size in a statistical study will decrease the standard error of the statistic computed from the sample.
