A neuroscientist measures the reaction times (in seconds) during an experimental session in a sample of cocaine-addicted(n = 8),morphine-addicted(n = 6),and heroin-addicted rats(n = 12).Mean reaction times in each sample were 16, 14, and 12 seconds, respectively. What is the weighted mean for all three samples? Hint: The overall mean is not 14.0 seconds. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)____________ sec______________________________________________________________________________9. A group of researchers measure the weight of five participants prior to a clinical weight loss intervention. They record the following weights (in pounds): 160, 110, 210, 310, and 260 pounds. The mean is 210 pounds.Using the original example of five weights, the researchers added a sixth participant to the sample.(a) If the sixth participant weighed 220 pounds, will the mean increase, decrease, or not change?The mean will increase.The mean will decrease.The mean will not change.(b) If the sixth participant weighed 210 pounds, will the mean increase, decrease, or not change?The mean will increase.The mean will decrease.The mean will not change.(c) If the sixth participant weighted 180 pounds, will the mean increase, decrease, or not change?The mean will increase.The mean will decrease.The mean will not change.______________________________________________________________________________10. Gilman and colleagues (2008) measured general life satisfaction in 1,338 adolescents from two individualistic nations (Ireland, United States) and two collectivist nations (China, South Korea) using the Multidimensional Students’ Life Satisfaction Scale (MSLSS). Mean participant scores on the MSLSS are given in the following table.Nation  Gender Men  WomenUnited States   4.39  4.61Ireland   4.37  4.64China   4.41  4.56South Korea   3.92  3.78(a) Among which group was general life satisfaction lowest on average?women from South Koreamen from the United Stateswomen from Irelandmen from South Koreawomen from the United Statesmen from China men from Irelandwomen from China(b) Among which group was general life satisfaction highest on average?women from South Koreamen from Irelandmen from South Koreamen from the United Stateswomen from Chinawomen from Irelandwomen from the United Statesmen from China______________________________________________________________________________11.

A psychopathologist records the number of criminal offenses among teenage drug users in a nationwide sample of 1,301 participants. To measure the variance of criminal offenses, he computes SS = 46,800 for this sample.(a) What are the degrees of freedom for variance? ______________________(b) Compute the variance and standard deviation.variance ______________standard deviation ____________________________________________________________________________________________16. State whether each of the following will increase, decrease, or have no effect on the population variance.(a) the sum of squares (SS) increasesThis change will increase the population variance.This change will decrease the population variance.This change will have no effect on the population variance.(b) the sample size decreasesThis change will increase the population variance.This change will decrease the population variance.This change will have no effect on the population variance.(c) the size of the population increasesThis change will increase the population variance.This change will decrease the population variance.This change will have no effect on the population variance.______________________________________________________________________________17. A researcher measures the time (in seconds) it takes a sample of five participants to complete a memory task. It took four of the participants 1, 2, 2, and 3 seconds. If M = 2, then what must be the fifth time recorded?______________sec______________________________________________________________________________18, An expert reviews a sample of 10 scientific articles (n = 10) and records the following number of errors in each article: 3, 5, 4, 6, 9, 0, 1, 9, 0, and 8.

To study bonding between mothers and infants, a researcher places each mother and her infant in a playroom and has the mother leave for 10 minutes. The researcher records crying time in the sample of infants during this time that the mother was not present and finds that crying time is normally distributed with M = 8 and SD = 1.1.Based on the empirical rule, state the range of crying times within 68% of infants cried, 95% of infants cried, and 99.7% of infants cried.(a) 68% of infants cried______________ to _____________ min(b) 95% of infants cried______________ to ______________ min(c) 99.7% of infants cried______________ to ______________ min
