The effect of a monetary incentive on performance on a cognitive task was investigated. The researcher predicted that greater mo

netary incentives would result in higher performance. Participants were told that they would receive either 5 cents, 25 cents, or 50 cents for each word puzzle that they correctly solved. A statistical test showed that there was a significant effect of incentive on performance at the .01 level. The greater the incentive, the more puzzles were solved.

Answer:

1) H_0:\mu_5=\mu_{25}=\mu_{50}

2) H_a:\mu_{50}>\mu_{25}>\mu_{5}

3) A Type I error happens when we reject a null hypothesis that is true. In this case, that would mean that the conclusion is that there is evidence to support the claim that the greater the incentive, the more puzzles are solved, but that in reality there is no significant difference.

4) A Type II error happens when a false null hypothesis is failed to be rejected. In this case, that would mean that there is no enough evidence to support the claim that the greater the incentive, the more puzzles are solved, but in fact this is true.

5) The probability of a Type I error is equal to the significance level, as this is the chance of having a sample result that will make the null hypothesis be rejected.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the claim is that the greater the incentive, the more puzzles were solved, the null hypothesis will state that this claim is not true. That is that there is no significant relation between the incentive and the amount of puzzles that are solved. In other words, the mean amount of puzzles solved for the different incentives is equal (or not significantly different):

H_0:\mu_5=\mu_{25}=\mu_{50}

The research (or alternative hypothesis) is that the greater the incentive, the more puzzles were solved. That means that the mean puzzles solved for an incentive of 50 cents is significantly higher than the mean mean puzzles solved for an incentive of 25 cents and this is significantly higher than the mean puzzles solved for an incentive of 5 cents.

H_a:\mu_{50}>\mu_{25}>\mu_{5}

A Type I error happens when we reject a null hypothesis that is true. In this case, that would mean that the conclusion is that there is evidence to support the claim that the greater the incentive, the more puzzles are solved, but that in reality there is no significant difference.

A Type II error happens when a false null hypothesis is failed to be rejected. In this case, that would mean that there is no enough evidence to support the claim that the greater the incentive, the more puzzles are solved, but in fact this is true.

The probability of a Type I error is equal to the significance level, as this is the chance of having a sample result that will make the null hypothesis be rejected.

The center of a circle lies on the line y = 4x + 1 and is tangent to the x-axis at (−3,0) . What is the equation of the circle i
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

(x+3)^2+(y+11)^2=121

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider a sketch of the problem as shown in the picture, where:

  • Blue line is given by y = 4x + 1.
  • Point B is the center of the circle.
  • Point A is (-3, 0).

Since the center of the circle lies on the line y = 4x +1 and is tangent to the x-axis at point A, then its radius BA is perpendicular to the x-axis. To find the coordinates of point B, we must replace x = -3 into the blue line equation: y = 4x(-3) + 1 = -11.

So, we know that the center of the circle is at B=(-3, -11). And furthermore, the radius BA is of length r=11.

Since the <em>general equation of the circle</em> of radius lenght r centered at (h, k) is given by

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2

then with h = -3, k = -11 and r= 11, the equation of our circle is

(x+3)^2+(y+11)^2=121

If you are given the following stem and leaf display and asked to construct a frequency distribution chart, what would be the wi
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

Width of intervals: 8

Step-by-step explanation:

We first look at how data is represented in a stem-leaf diagram.

Any number of the left (before -) is the stem and all numbers on right (after -) are the leaves. Each combination of stem and leaf represents one number. For example: 1 - 332 represents: 13, 13, 12.

Our data is as follows:

13, 13, 12, 24, 25, 31, 31, 35, 37, 42, 43, 41, 52, 51, 51, 52

To calculate the width of the frequency distribution chart, we have the following formula:

Class\ width = \frac{Range}{Number\ of\ classes}

The range of any data set = Maximum value in the data set - Minimum value in the data set

Maximum value in this case as seen from the data is 52 and minimum is 12.

Range = 52 - 12 = 40

Since we had only 5 stems in the data, we shall use that as the number of classes required in the frequency distribution chart.

Class\ width = \frac{40}{5}  = 8

Hence, the class width in this data set will be 8.

To make the intervals, we begin from the minimum value and add 8 to it. The intervals will be:

12 - 20

20 - 28

28 - 36

36 - 44

44 - 52

Observe, that all the values of the stem lie within each interval.

For example, there are 3 values for stem 1: 12, 13, 13 and each lie in the first interval 12 - 20.

Next, the values of stem 2 are 24 and 25. Each of these value lie in the second interval 20 - 28; and henceforth.
