For Dizon-Ross (2019), consider the subsample of children randomly assigned to the control group. For these 2,654 children, the mean math score is 45.41673 with a s.d. of 20.14343. The mean English score is 44.48945 with a s.d. of 20.03665. The mean difference (= math - English) is 0.9272796 with a s.d. of 19.23806. In testing the research hypothesis that these children score better on math than English, what is the value of the test statistic? (Record your answer accurate to at least the nearest second decimal place with standard rounding.) .

"Parents' Beliefs About Their Children's Academic Ability: Implications for Educational Investments." For the sample of 5,256 kids, the mean overall score is 46.73364 with a s.d. of 17.48102. The mean believed overall score is 62.35426 with a s.d. of 16.50940. The mean difference (= believed - actual) is 15.62062 with a s.d. of 19.52081. What is the coefficient of correlation between the overall score and the believed overall score? (Record your answer accurate to at least the nearest second decimal...
In the largest clinical trial ever conducted, 401,974 children were randomly assigned to two groups. The treatment group consisted of 201,229 children given the Salk vaccine for polio, and the other 200,745 children were given a placebo. Among those in the treatment group, 33 developed polio, and among those in the placebo group, 115 developed polio. If we want to use the methods for testing a claim about two population proportions to test the claim that the rate of polio...
In a large clinical trial, 393,888 children were randomly assigned to two groups. The treatment group consisted of 198,120 children given a vaccine for a certain disease, and 38 of those children developed the disease. The other 195,768 children were given a placebo, and 116 of those children developed the disease. Consider the vaccine treatment group to be the first sample. Complete parts (a) through (d) below. a. Assume that a 0.05 signiticance level will e used to test the...
Twenty-seven participants (9 per group) were randomly assigned to do a series of math tasks while listening to sof. gentle music, while listening to loud-intense music, or while in silence. The means and estimated population variances for the three groups were: Soft-Gentle: M-37, s 32; Loud-Intense: M- 33, S 28; Silence: M-41, 30. Using the 05 significance level, is there a difference in performance on this kind of math task under these three conditions? Step I. Restatethe research Question. 23...
A psychologist is interested in the mean I score of a given group of children. It is known that the IQ scores of the group have a standard deviation of 14. The psychologist randomly selects 60 children from this group and finds that their mean IQ score is 112. Based on this sample, find a 90% confidence interval for the true mean IQ score for all children of this group. Then complete the table below Carry your intermediate computations to...
A psychologist is interested in the mean IQ score of a given group of children. It is known that the IQ scores of the group have a standard deviation of 10. The psychologist randomly selects 80 children from this group and finds that their mean IQ score is 111. Based on this sample, find a 95% confidence interval for the true mean IQ score for all children of this group. Then complete the table below. Carry your intermediate computations to...
A social psychologist studying mass communication randomly assigned 87 volunteers to one of two experimental groups. Fifty-seven were instructed to get their news for a month only from television, and 30 were instructed to get their news for a month only from the Internet. After the month was up, all participants were tested on their knowledge of several political issues. The researcher simply predicted that there is some kind of difference. These were the results of the study. TV group:...
Do education programs for preschool children that follow the Montessori method perform better than other programs? A study compared five-year-old children in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, who had been enrolled in preschool programs from the age of three. All the children in the study applied to the Montessori school. The school district assigned students to Montessori or other preschools by a random lottery. (a) Comparing children whose parents chose a Montessori school with children of other parents would not show whether Montessori...
In a study, researchers randomly assigned 500 people to the “treatment group” and the other 500 to the “control (or placebo) group”. A statistically significant difference was reported between the responses of the two groups with p-value < 0.005. What is the best conclusion? A. There is little evidence that the treatment has any effect. B. Here is strong evidence that the treatment is effective. C. Using a 5% significance level, we can conclude that the treatment was not effective,...
