Question 8.45

Sample size, z statistics, and the Graded Naming Test: In an exercise in Chapter 7, we asked you to conduct a z test to ascertain whether the Graded Naming Test (GNT) scores for Canadian participants differed from the GNT norms based on adults in England. We also used these data in the How It Works section of this chapter. The mean for a sample of 30 adults in Canada was 17.5. The normative mean for adults in England is 20.4, and we assumed a population standard deviation of 3.2. With 30 participants, the z statistic was −4.97, and we were able to reject the null hypothesis.

Question 8.48

Confidence intervals, effect sizes, and tennis serves: Let’s assume the average speed of a serve in men’s tennis is around 135 mph, with a standard deviation of 6.5 mph. Because these statistics are calculated over many years and many players, we will treat them as population parameters. We develop a new training method that will increase arm strength, the force of the tennis swing, and the speed of the serve, we hope. We recruit 9 professional tennis players to use our method. After 6 months, we test the speed of their serves and compute an average of 138 mph.

Question 8.49

Confidence intervals and football wins: In an exercise in Chapter 7, we asked whether college football teams tend to be more likely or less likely to be mismatched in the upper National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) divisions. During one week of a college football season, the population of 53 Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS; formerly Division I-A) games had a mean spread (winning score minus losing score) of 16.189, with a standard deviation of 12.128. We took a sample of four games that were played that week in the next-highest league, the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS; formerly Division I-AA), to see if the spread were different; one of the many leagues within FBS, the Patriot League, played four games that weekend. Their mean was 8.75.

Effect size and football wins: In Exercises 8.49 and 8.50, we considered the study of week 11 of the fall 2006 college football season, during which the population of 53 FBS games had a mean spread (winning score minus losing score) of 16.189, with a standard deviation of 12.128. The sample of four games that were played that week in the next highest league, the FCS, had a mean of 8.75.

Question 8.53

Confidence intervals, effect sizes, and Valentine’s Day spending: According to the Nielsen Company, Americans spend $345 million on chocolate during the week of Valentine’s Day. Let’s assume that we know the average married person spends $45, with a population standard deviation of $16. In February 2009, the U.S. economy was in the throes of a recession. Comparing data for Valentine’s Day spending in 2009 with what is generally expected might give us some indication of the attitudes during the recession.

Question 8.58

Question 8.59

Meta-analysis, mental health treatments, and cultural contexts: A meta-analysis examined studies that compared two types of mental health treatments for ethnic and racial minorities—the standard available treatments and treatments that were adapted to the clients’ cultures (Griner & Smith, 2006). An excerpt from the abstract follows:

Many previous authors have advocated traditional mental health treatments be modified to better match clients’ cultural contexts. Numerous studies evaluating culturally adapted interventions have appeared, and the present study used meta-analytic methodology to summarize these data. Across 76 studies the resulting random effects weighted average effect size was d = .45, indicating a…benefit of culturally adapted interventions (p. 531).

Question 8.60

Meta-analysis, mental health treatments, and cultural contexts (continued): The research paper on culturally targeted therapy described in Exercise 8.59 reported the following:

Across all 76 studies, the random effects weighted average effect size was d = .45 (SE = .04, p < .0001), with a 95% confidence interval of d = .36 to d = .53. The data consisted of 72 nonzero effect sizes, of which 68 (94%) were positive and 4 (6%) were negative. Effect sizes ranged from d = −48 to d = 2.7 (Griner & Smith, 2006, p. 535).

Question 8.61

Fantasy baseball: Your roommate is reading Fantasyland: A Season on Baseball’s Lunatic Fringe (Walker, 2006) and is intrigued by the statistical methods used by competitors in fantasy baseball leagues (in which competitors select a team of baseball players from across all major league teams, winning in the fantasy league if their eclectic roster of players outperforms the chosen mixes of other fantasy competitors). Among the many statistics reported in the book is a finding that Major League Baseball (MLB) players who have a third child show more of a decline in performance than players who have a first child or a second child. Your friend remembers that Red Sox player David Ortiz has three children and drops him from consideration for his fantasy team.

Question 8.63

Effect size and an intervention to increase college applications: Caroline Hoxby and Sarah Turner (2013) conducted an experiment to determine whether a simple intervention could increase the number of college applications among low-income students. The intervention consisted of information about the college application process and about college costs that were specific to the student, along with an easy-to-implement waiver of college application fees. The following is an excerpt from a table. The intervention had a statistically significant effect on this variable at a p level of 0.01.
