Question: Consumers鈥 attitudes toward advertising. The two most common marketing tools used for product advertising are ads on television and ads in a print magazine. Consumers鈥 attitudes toward television and magazine advertising were investigated in the Journal of Advertising (Vol. 42, 2013). In one experiment, each in a sample of 159 college students were asked to rate both the television and the magazine marketing tool on a scale of 1 to 7 points according to whether the tool was a good example of advertising, a typical form of advertising, and a representative form of advertising. Summary statistics for these 鈥渢ypicality鈥 scores are provided in the following table. One objective is to compare the mean ratings of TV and magazine advertisements.
a. The researchers analysed the data using a paired samples t-test. Explain why this is the most valid method of analysis. Give the null and alternative hypotheses for the test.
b. The researchers reported a paired t-value of 6.96 with an associated p-value of .001 and stated that the 鈥渕ean difference between television and magazine advertising was statistically significant.鈥 Explain what this means in the context of the hypothesis test.
c. To assess whether the result is 鈥減ractically significant,鈥 we require a confidence interval for the mean difference. Although this interval was not reported in the article, you can compute it using the information provided in the table. Find a 95% confidence interval for the mean difference and interpret the result. What is your opinion regarding whether the two means are 鈥減ractically significant.鈥

Corporate sustainability of CPA firms. Refer to the Business and Society (March 2011) study on the sustainability behaviors of CPA corporations, Exercise 2.23 (p. 83). Recall that the level of support for corporate sustainability (measured on a quantitative scale ranging from 0 to 160 points) was obtained for each of 992 senior managers at CPA firms. The accompanying Minitab printout gives the mean and standard deviation for the level of support variable. It can be shown that level of support is approximately normally distributed.
a. Find the probability that the level of support for corporate sustainability of a randomly selected senior manager is less than 40 points.
b. Find the probability that the level of support for corporate sustainability of a randomly selected senior manager is between 40 and 120 points.
c. Find the probability that the level of support for corporate sustainability of a randomly selected senior manager is greater than 120 points.
d. One-fourth of the 992 senior managers indicated a level of support for corporate sustainability below what value?
Descriptive Statistics: Support
Variables | N | Mean | StDev | Variance | Minimum | Maximum | Range |
Support | 992 | 67.755 | 26.871 | 722.036 | 0.000 | 155.000 | 155.000 |
Shopping vehicle and judgment. Refer to the Journal ofMarketing Research (December 2011) study of shopping cart design, Exercise 2.85 (p. 112). Recall that design engineers want to know whether the mean choice of the vice-over-virtue score is higher when a consumer鈥檚 arm is flexed (as when carrying a shopping basket) than when the consumer鈥檚 arm is extended (as when pushing a shopping cart). The average choice score for the n1 = 11 consumers with a flexed arm was = 59, while the average for the n2 = 11
Consumers with an extended arm was = 43. In which scenario is the assumption required for a t-test to compare means more likely to be violated, = 4 and = 2, or, = 10 and = 15? Explain.
Shared leadership in airplane crews. Refer to the Human Factors (March 2014) study of shared leadership by the cockpit and cabin crews of a commercial airplane, Exercise 8.14 (p. 466). Recall that each crew was rated as working either successfully or unsuccessfully as a team. Then, during a simulated flight, the number of leadership functions exhibited per minute was determined for each individual crew member. One objective was to compare the mean leadership scores for successful and unsuccessful teams. How many crew members would need to be sampled from successful and unsuccessful teams to estimate the difference in means to within .05 with 99% confidence? Assume you will sample twice as many members from successful teams as from unsuccessful teams. Also, assume that the variance of the leadership scores for both groups is approximately .04.
