Chapter 4: Q R4.8. (page 272)

Attitudes toward homeless people Negative attitudes toward poor people are common. Are attitudes more negative when a person is homeless? To find out, read to subjects a description of a poor person. There are two versions. One begins with Jim a 30-year-old single man. He is currently living in a small single-room apartment. The other description begins with Jim is a 30-year-old single man. He is currently homeless and lives in a shelter for homeless people. After reading the description, ask subjects what they believe about Jim and what they think should be done to help him. The subjects are 544 adults interviewed by telephone. Outline a completely randomized design for this experiment. Write a few sentences describing how you would implement your design.

Short Answer

Expert verified

One person from the first group and one person from the second group using the first description

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Jim, a 30-year-old single male, is the first. He currently resides in a tiny one-bedroom apartment. Jim is described as a 30-year-old single male in the other description. He is currently homeless and resides in a homeless shelter.

02

Concept

The treatments are randomly assigned to all of the experimental units in a completely randomized design.

03

Explanation

It is necessary to write a few sentences here describing how to apply the design.

To begin, generate the random numbers and divide them into two groups. Assign half of the participants to one group and the other half to another. Choose one individual from the first group using the first description, and one person from the second group using the second description.

What is the purpose of the control group in this experiment?

Effects of binge drinking A common definition of 鈥渂inge drinking鈥� is 5 or more drinks at one sitting for men and 4 or more for women. An observational study

finds that students who binge drink have lower average GPA than those who don鈥檛. Identify a lurking variable that may be confounded with the effects of binge drinking. Explain how confounding might occur.

Do placebos really work? Researchers in Japan conducted an experiment on 131 individuals who were extremely allergic to poison ivy. On one arm, each subject was rubbed with a poison ivy leaf and told the leaf was harmless. On the other arm, each subject was rubbed with a harmless leaf and told it was poison ivy. All the subjects developed a rash on the arm where the harmless leaf was rubbed. Of the

13subjects, 11 did not have any reaction to the real poison ivy leaf.

(a) What was the placebo in this experiment?

(b) Explain how the results of this study support the idea of a placebo effect.

Room temperature and dexterity An expert on worker performance is interested in the effect of room temperature on the performance of tasks requiring manual dexterity. She chooses temperatures of 70掳Fand 90掳Fas treatments. The response variable is the number of correct insertions, during a 30-minute period, in a peg-and-hole apparatus that requires the use of both hands simultaneously. Each

subject is trained on the apparatus and then asked to make as many insertions as possible in 30 minutes of continuous effort.

(a) Outline a completely randomized design to compare dexterity at70掳 and 90掳. Twenty subjects are available.

(b) Because individuals differ greatly in dexterity, the wide variation in individual scores may hide the systematic effect of temperature unless there are many subjects in each group. Describe in detail the design of a matched pairs experiment in which

Student archaeologists An archaeological dig turns up large numbers of pottery shards, broken stone tools, and other artifacts. Students working on the project classify each artifact and assign it a number. The counts in different categories are important for understanding the site, so the project director chooses 2% of the artifacts at random and checks the students鈥� work. Identify the population and the sample.
