Question

In a psychological study of short-term memory, irrelevant speech effects refer to the degree to which the memorization process is impaired by irrelevant background speech. An analysis of irrelevant speech effects was carried out and published. Subjects performed the memorization task under two conditions: (1) with irrelevant background speech and (2) in silence. The difference in the error rates for the two conditions--called the relative difference in error rate (RDER-was computed for each subject. A histogram summarizing the RDER values for 76 subjects is displayed to the right. Complete parts a through c below. 75 15 105 195 285 RDER Value a. Convert the frequency histogram into a relative frequency histogram. Choose the correct graph below OA.

Answer 1

a)
correlct graph is option D)
diving frequency by total number = 76

b) proportion between 75 and 105
= 16/76
= 0.21052631
=0.211

c)
proportion below 15
= (1 + 2)/76
= 0.03947368
= 0.039
