Dr. Rodriguez was interested in how quickly students help someone who has fallen and who was perceived as having a health proble

m as compared to someone who has fallen but was not perceived as having a health problem. Dr. Rodriguez was also interested in whether the number of students who witness the fall affected how quickly students would help the person who fell. Dr. Rodriguez recruited 18 college students and offered to pay them $5 each for participating in a psychological study. She randomly assigned students to each group. She had two confederates participate in the study; one used a cane for the study, and the other did not. Dr. Rodriguez had either one, three, or five students wait in what they were told was a waiting room before the study began. The confederates were instructed to fall shortly after all of the participants entered the waiting room. There was a one-way mirror in the room, and Dr. Rodriguez recorded how long it took for the participants to respond to the person who fell. After the study, Dr. Rodriguez thanked the participants and dismissed them. The results of the study are represented in the tables below. Assume all differences are significant. Dr. Rodriguez concluded that both the number of students in the room and whether the person who fell was perceived as having a health problem affected how quickly students responded to the person who fell.

The dependent variable, also the predicted variable is 'how quickly students respond to the person who fell'

The Independent variable refers to the predictor variable which influences the outcome of the dependent variable. The independent variables are ;

Number of students in the room ;

Perception of health problem in the person who fell.

2.)

The possible confounding variable may be the cane being held by one of the confederates, as this might cause a disruptive association between the dependent and independent variable.

3.)

From the result of the experiment, it could be observed that there is a positive trend between the number of witnesses(student in the room) and the time it took students to respond to someone who has fallen.

4.

Σfx / Σf

[(90*1) + (180*3) + (360*5)] ÷ (1+3+5)

2430 / 9

= 270

Inferential statistics is used to make possible deductions or predictions from a data sample. It allows us to make conclusions about a certain population from a sample to f the population data.
