In this study, the investigators rang the doorbellsof strangers in living in Newyork city or small towns in the vicinity. They explained they had misplaced the address of a friend living in a neighoborhood and asked to use the phone.

Use α=0.05 in making your decision. 20). A researcher believes that individuals in different occupations will show differences in their ability to be hypnotized. Six lawyers, six physicians and six professional dancers are randomly selected for the experiment. A test of hypnotic susceptibility is administered to each. The results are shown in the next column. The higher the score, the higher the hypnotizability. Assume the data violate the assumptions required for use of the F-test but are at least of ordinal scaling. Condition 1 lawyers Condition 2 Physician Condition 3 Dancers 26 14 30 17 19 21 27 28 35 32 22 29 20 25 37 25 15 34 Using α=0.05, what is your conclusion? 24). A psychologist investigates the hypothesis that birth order affects assertiveness. Her subjects are 20 young adults between 20 and 25 years of age. There are seven first born, and seven third born subjects. Each subject is given an assertiveness test, with the following results. High scores indicate greatest assertiveness. Assume the data are so far from normally distributed that the F-test can't be used, but the data are at least of ordinal scaling. Condition 1 first born Condition 2 second born Condition 3 third born 18 18 7 19 21 30 28 22 18 32 1 5 10 14 Use α=0.01 to evaluate the data. What is your conclusion? 26). A major oil company conducts an experiment to assess whether a film designed to tell the truth about , and also promote more favorable attitudes toward, a large oil companies really does result in more favorable attitudes. Tweleve individuals are run in a replicated measures design. In the before condition, each subject fills out a questionnaire designed to asses attitudes towad a large oil companies. In the after condition the subject see the film after which they fill out the questionnaire. The following scores are obtained. High scores indicated more favorable attitudes towar large oil companies.

A social scientist believes that university theology professors are more conservative in political orientation than their colleagues in psychology. A random sample of 8 professors from theology department and 12 professors from from the psychology department at a local university are given a 50- point questionnaire that measures the degree of political conservatism. The following scores were obtained. Higher scores indicate greater conservatism. a). What is the alternative hypothesis? In this case, assume a non-directional hypothesis is appropriate because there are insufficient theoretical and empirical bases to warrant a directional hypothesis. b). What is null hypothesis? c). What is your conclusion? Use the Mann-Whitney U-test and α=0.0521tail
Compute expected frequencies for each of the cells in the table in part c). Do you feel that the exponential distribution provides an adequate description of these data?
What is the conclusion you can draw regarding research question that was posed in this research - would you now move on to interpret the results of the Tests of Between-Subjects Tests?
