The opening statement on the website of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) says its members seek “. . . to secure an efficient, economic and regular supply of petroleum to consumers, a steady income to producers and a fair return on capital for those investing in the petroleum industry.” To achieve this goal, OPEC attempts to coordinate and unify petroleum policies by raising or lowering its members’ collective oil production. However, increased production by Russia, Oman, Mexico, Norway, and other non-OPEC countries has placed downward pressure on the price of crude oil. To achieve its goal of stable and fair oil prices, what must OPEC do to maintain the price of oil at its desired level? Do you think this will be easy for OPEC to do? Explain.

Homer is a safety inspector at a unionized nuclear power plant. He was scheduled to go on a five-day vacation starting on Monday, April 22, and return to work on Monday, April 29. On the morning of his first day of vacation, Homer's sister-in-law died suddenly of undiagnosed lung cancer. Homer called his manager on Friday, April 26, and asked to have four (4) days of his vacation (April 23–26) reinstated and paid as bereavement leave “in accordance with Article 10.04.” The collective agreement reads as follows: Article 10.04: Vacation Reinstatement for Bereavement Leave An employee who is informed of the death of a relative prior to the start of his/her scheduled vacation may have up to three (3) vacation days reinstated and paid as bereavement leave. What would you tell Homer? Would you grant him his request? Why or why not? Make whatever assumptions you feel are necessary in order to defend your answer.

Problem Set 1: The paired-samples t test Research Scenario: Children who experience chronic pain as a result of medical procedures are the focus of a psychiatrist’s study. Specifically, the psychiatrist wants to measure whether a new program helps decrease feelings of chronic pain in the short-term. She measures children’s self-reports of pain levels before treatment on a standardized scale with a range of 0-10, with 10 being the most severe. She then administers the new program, and measures children’s pain levels after treatment. The data are contained in the table below. Does the new treatment decrease self-reported levels of chronic pain? Using this table, enter the data into a new SPSS data file and run a paired-samples t test to test the claim that the new program decreases self-reported levels of chronic pain. Follow the directions below the table to complete the homework.

Problem Set 2: The paired-samples t test

Research Scenario: A social worker in a rural school district is interested in how a new program is affecting the number of days that high school students are truant from school (i.e. absent without permission from parents, doctor, etc.). She takes a sample of 15 students from school records and notes the number of days truant in the year before the program and the year after the program. The data are listed in the table below.

Using this table, enter the data into a new SPSS data file and run a paired-samples t test to test the claim that there is a difference in the number of truant days before and after the program was implemented. Follow the directions below the table to complete the homework.
