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).

High-speed Internet Laying fiber-optic cable is expensive. Cable companies want to make sure that if they extend their lines to less dense suburban or rural areas, there will be sufficient demand so the work will be cost-effective. They decide to conduct a survey to determine the proportion of households in a rural subdivision that would buy the service. They select a simple random sample of 5blocks in the subdivision and survey each family that lives on one of those blocks.

a. What is the name for this kind of sampling method?

b. Give a possible reason why the cable company chose this method.

SRS of students? At a party, there are 30 students over age 21 and 20students underage21. You choose at random 3 of those over 21 and separately choose at random 2 of those under 21 to interview about their attitudes toward alcohol. You have given every student at the party the same chance to be interviewed. Is your sample an SRS? Explain your answer.

Initial public offerings (1.3) The business magazine Forbes reports that 4567companies sold their first stock to the public between 1990and 2000. The mean change in the stock price of these companies since the first stock was issued was +111%. The median change was -31%. Explain how this difference could happen.

Go Blue! Michigan Stadium, also known as "The Big House," seats over 100,000fans for a football game. The University of Michigan Athletic Department wants to survey fans about concessions that are sold during games. Tickets are most expensive for seats on the sidelines. The cheapest seats are in the end zones (where one of the authors sat as a student). A map of the stadium is shown.


a. Describe how to obtain a sample using stratified random sampling. Explain your choice of strata and why this method might be preferred to simple random sampling.

b. Describe how to obtain a sample using cluster sampling. Explain your choice of clusters and why this method might be preferred to simple random sampling.

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.
