Chapter 4: Q. 77 (page 267)

SAT preparation A school counselor wants to compare the effectiveness of an online SAT preparation program with an in-person SAT preparation class. For an experiment, the counselor recruits 30students who have already taken the SAT once. The response variable will be the improvement in SAT score.

a. Design an experiment that uses a completely randomized design to investigate this question.

b. Design an experiment that uses a matched pairs design to investigate this question. Explain your method of pairing.

c. Which design do you prefer? Explain your answer.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The experiment that uses a completely randomized design to investigate is assigning unique no. between one and thirty.

(b) The 15corresponding students will receive the Online SAT preparation program first, followed by the in-person SAT preparation class whereas the remaining 15students will receive the in-person SAT preparation class first, followed by the Online SAT preparation program.

(c) The design preferred is matched pairs experiment.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given information

We need to find the experiment that uses a completely randomized design to investigate.

02

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation

All subjects are randomly assigned to a group in a truly randomized experiment.

Let's give each of the 30pupils a unique number between one and thirty (inclusive).

Draw 15different numbers between one and thirty at random (including) using slips of paper, a random digits table, or technology.

The online SAT preparation program will be assigned to the fifteen students who correlate to the fifteen selected integers, while the in-person SAT preparation session will be assigned to the remaining fifteen students.

03

Part (b) step 2: Given information

We need to find an experiment that uses a matched pairs design to investigate.

04

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation

We know that

The fifteen corresponding students will receive the Online SAT preparation program first, followed by the in-person SAT preparation class (while taking the SATS between treatments), whereas the remaining fifteen students will receive the in-person SAT preparation class first, followed by the Online SAT preparation program (while the students take the SATS after each treatments).

05

Part (c) Step 1: Given information

We need to find the preferred design.

06

Part (c) Step 2: Explanation

We prefer the matched pairs experiment because there are more subjects assigned to each treatment than in a completely randomized experiment, and the two treatment groups are identical before the treatments begin, making it easier to compare treatment results and the differences in results more reliable (that is, we are more certain that the differences are due to the treatments).

Kissing the right way According to a newspaper article, 鈥淢ost people are kissing the

鈥榬ight way.鈥欌�� That is, according to a study, the majority of couples prefer to tilt their heads

to the right when kissing. In the study, a researcher observed a random sample of124

kissing couples and found that 8312466.9%of the couples tilted to the right. To

determine if these data provide convincing evidence that couples are more likely to tilt

their heads to the right, 100simulated SRSs were selected.

Each dot in the graph shows the number of couples that tilt to the right in a simulated SRS

of124couples, assuming that each couple has a 50%chance of tilting to the right.

a. Explain how the graph illustrates the concept of sampling variability.

b. Based on the data from the study and the results of the simulation, is there convincing

evidence that couples prefer to kiss the 鈥渞ight way鈥�? Explain your answer.

You wonder if TV ads are more effective when they are longer or repeated more often

or both. So you design an experiment. You prepare 30-second and 60-second ads for a

camera. Your subjects all watch the same TV program, but you assign them at random

to four groups. One group sees the 30-second ad once during the program; another sees

it three times; the third group sees the 60-second ad once; and the last group sees the

60-second ad three times. You ask all subjects how likely they are to buy the camera.

Which of the following best describes the design of this experiment?

a. This is a randomized block design, but not a matched pairs design.

b. This is a matched pairs design.

c. This is a completely randomized design with one explanatory variable (factor).

d. This is a completely randomized design with two explanatory variables (factors).

e. This is a completely randomized design with four explanatory variables (factors).

Unequal benefitsResearchers on aging proposed investigating the effect of

The rolls of a large medical clinic were to be randomly assigned to treatment and control.

groups. The treatment group would be offered hearing aids, dentures, transportation, and other services not available without charge to the control group. The review board believed that providing these services to some but not other people in the same institution raised ethical questions. Do you agree?

Can a vegetarian or low-salt diet reduce blood pressure? Men with high blood pressure are

assigned at random to one of four diets: (1) normal diet with unrestricted salt; (2)

vegetarian with unrestricted salt; (3) normal with restricted salt; and (4) vegetarian with

restricted salt. This experiment has

  1. one factor, the type of diet.
  2. two factors, high blood pressure and type of diet.
  3. two factors, normal/vegetarian diet and unrestricted/restricted salt.
  4. three factors, men, high blood pressure, and type of diet.
  5. four factors, the four diets being compared.

Precise offers People often use round prices as first offers in a negotiation. But would a more precise number suggest that the offer was more reasoned and informed? In an experiment, 238adults played the role of a person selling a used car. Each adult received one of three initial offers: \(2000, \)1865(a precise under-offer), and \(2135(a precise over-offer). After hearing the initial offer, each subject made a counter-offer. The difference in the initial offer and counter-offer was the largest in the group that received the \)2000 offer. Describe how the researchers could have randomly assigned the subjects to the treatments

a. using slips of paper.

b. using technology.

c. using Table D.
