1.
a) The response variable is proficiency test score.
b)
The study unit are 9 year old children.
c)
The factor is education of a child's parents. The factor levels are
< high school, high school graduate, some university, university
graduate
d)
As, there is only one factor (education of a child's parents), it
is not a multi-factor study.
e)
We are observing education of a child's parents and proficiency
test score and their relation and we do not have control over the
factor - education of a child's parents . We are not giving any
treatments to random sample of study units (students).
So, this is an observational study.
2.
a) The response variable is number of days the first sign of
corrosion occurs.
b)
The study unit are outdoor brass lamps.
c)
The factor is lacquer. The factor levels are lacquer #1, lacquer
#2, lacquer #3, lacquer #4, lacquer 5.
d)
As, there is only one factor (lacquer), it is not a multi-factor
study.
e)
We have control over the factor - lacquer . We are giving
treatments (coating with 5 varieties of lacquer) to random sample
of 25 study units (lacquer) and observing the response variable
(number of days the first sign of corrosion occurs).
So, this is an experiment.

Question 5. [11 marks] IChapter 2] Consider the following studies: Study 1: A study was conducted to see if music can influence people's ability to remember. Memory was tested by giving people a series of pictures to look at for 10 minutes and then asking them to answer a series of questions about the pictures. A memory score was computed based on their answers. 120 people were recruited and randomly allocated to one of 4 groups: the first group did...

Eight studies are described briefly below. What research method was employed in these studies, also write the rationale of your choice of response. 1. A researcher is interested in whether drinking water right before bed increases the likelihood that children will wet the bed at night. The researcher recruits 50 5-year-old children to participate in her study. Twenty-five children are given two glasses of water two hours before their bedtime (one glass per hour) and twenty-five children are prohibited from...
