Week 1

1. Study 2
2. μ1 −μ2=0; μ_1 > μ_2
3. If the null hypothesis is true, the chance of finding that people’s voting habits are
influenced by pictures of baby animals is less than 2.5%
4. We can reject the null hypothesis because there is a 5% chance that this would happen if
the null hypothesis was true.
5. Type I error

measurement instruments

13. For option 1 we would use an independent groups analysis. For option 2 we would use a
“dependent” or “matched” groups analysis.
14. 1.517929376
15. xd = 0.4, t = 0.3888, fail to reject null hypothesis in two-sided test.
16. Mediator, moderator, confounder
17. You would reject the null hypothesis.
18. You would fail to reject the null hypothesis

Week 2
1. We want to see if gender and drink preference are independent
2. Neighborhood2
3.

Wrong
Our null hypothesis is that neighborhood and type of crime are independent.
If neighborhood and crime are not independent, we can calculate the observed
marginal frequencies by multiplying the joint frequencies, divided by the sample
size.
If the expected frequencies under the null hypothesis are significantly different
from the observed frequencies, then the categories are dependent.

10. No answer
11. Visitors come to the cafeteria at random, not all visitors buy anything
12. He had too few cases to reliably reject the null hypothesis, the sampling was not at random
13. You would reject the null-hypothesis at a significance level of 0.05
14. Table 2
15. The frequency of correctly identifying a liar is equal to the expected frequency of 6.
Correct and incorrect responses are independent from lying and not lying.
