A result is stated as “not statistically significant” whenever

DR. CAROL SCENARIO: Dr. Carol conducts a study examining the relationship between exam performance, number of class absences, and amount of time spent studying in a large random sample. Below are her findings. Assume we are using .05 as our level of significance. Exam performance and number of class absences: r = −.67, p = .01 Exam performance and time spent studying: r = .31, p = .04 Number of class absences and time spent studying: r = .04, p = .66 Dr. Carol has decided to examine one of her relationships with a scatterplot to double-check for a curvilinear relationship. Which relationship will be most important for her to examine?

Dr. Lowe has decided to measure how happy his students are with his teaching this semester. He is teaching two classes this semester—Research Methods and Social Psychology. He gives his students a survey. A total of 43 of 50 Research Methods students and 46 of 48 Social Psychology students complete the survey. Based on this information, which of the following can Dr. Lowe say?

Below is a multiple regression table from the Bazzini et al. (2010) article.     The following is an appropriate description of the results: The relationship between beauty and goodness is significant and positive, even when character role is controlled for.

Participants completed a self-report conscientiousness scale using response options that ranged from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree).  If a participant marks a “6” for an item that needs to be reverse-scored, what new value you should you assign to the participant?

Which of the following substances could behave as an Arrhenius base?

DR. CAROL SCENARIO: Dr. Carol conducts a study examining the relationship between exam performance, number of class absences, and amount of time spent studying in a large random sample. Below are her findings. Assume we are using .05 as our level of significance. Exam performance and number of class absences: r = −.67, p = .01 Exam performance and time spent studying: r = .31, p = .04 Number of class absences and time spent studying: r = .04, p = .66 Dr. Carol creates a scatterplot of the relationship between exam performance and number of class absences. In doing so, she realizes there are three scores that seem to be very extreme and are nowhere near the other points on the scatterplot. Specifically, it appears that three people report very high levels of class absences and very low levels of exam performance. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

Ice has a(n) ____ entropy than that of liquid water.

Which of the following is a means of controlling for observer bias?

A) List the steps of the scientific method (in order) as discussed in class. (1 pts) B) Design an experiment involving BSC1005 students, sleep, and test performance.  (4 pts) Include all steps from the scientific method in detail. Include your test groups and all information you want other “scientists” to know.  C) Add procedures you would follow to make sure you are doing “good science”. (2 pts) The experiment may be structured any way you like as long as you follow the scientific method.
