Do cell phones interfere with a person’s ability to drive? To investigate this question, a psychologist recruits a group of 32 participants and has them drive a simulated test course on two occasions. On one occasion, the participants are instructed to use their phone while driving; on the other occasion, they are instructed to put their phones away. The psychologist records the number of driving errors during two 15-minute driving simulations. The appropriate statistical test is a(n):

Recent polling finds that 71% of the American public supports same-sex marriage, 27% is opposed to same-sex marriage, and 2% are undecided. To see if students at your university have attitudes that mirror the larger U.S. population, you survey 200 students on your campus on their attitudes toward same-sex marriage. To analyze these data, the most appropriate test would be a:

The following table reflects the results of a study by Roediger and Karpicke (2006). The authors investigated whether the test-enhanced learning effect (the demonstration that repeated testing improves memory for material) was due merely to repeated exposure to the material. They randomly assigned participants to one of two study conditions (study–study or study–test) and to one of three retention interval conditions (final test at a delay of 5 minutes, 2 days, or 1 week). The dependent variable was the proportion of idea units recalled from an encyclopedia passage.Table: Test-Enhanced Learning   5 minutes 2 days 1 week Mean Study–study 0.80 0.55 0.42 0.59 Study–test 0.75 0.70 0.55 0.67 Mean 0.78 0.63 0.49     Reference: Ref 14-1 (Table: Test-Enhanced Learning) Based on the cells of this study, which effects appear to be present?
