SHORT ANSWER. Write the word or phrase that best completes each statement or answers the question.
1) Form a conclusion about statistical significance. Do not make any formal calculations. Either
use the results provided or make subjective judgments about the results.
Last year, the average math SAT score for students at one school was 475. The headmaster
introduced new teaching methods hoping to improve scores. This year, the mean math SAT
score for a sample of students was 481. Is there statistically significant evidence that the new
teaching method is effective? If the teaching method had no effect, there would be roughly a 3
in 10 chance of seeing such an increase. Does the result have statistical significance? Why or
why not? Does the result have practical significance?
1)____________
2) Why do you think that cluster sampling is frequently used in practice? 2)____________

a college student after she had questioned 520 randomly selected members of her college.
What is wrong with her conclusion ?

Answer Key
Testname: CHAPTER 1 EXAM C
1) No. The new mean SAT score is not substantially higher. Even if the new teaching method had no effect, a
small increase such as this could easily be seen just by chance. No. The increase is not sufficient to be of
practical significance.
2) Cluster sampling can save time and money and be more efficient, especially when the clusters are
geographically far apart from each other. If a study wants to solicit opinions from the homeless population, it is
more effective to choose a few selected towns and interview a significant number of homeless people in each
town rather than study a few homeless people in all towns. A significant and similar sample are identified in
each cluster. In this case, a study accessing the entire population through simple random sample would be too
big and expensive.
In stratified sampling, the population is divided into strata according to some variables that are thought to be
related to the variables of interest. A sample is taken from every stratum. There is not an identified variable of
interest in the homeless study.
3) The sample is biased. College students are not representative of the U.S. population as a whole.
4) No. Cosmopolitan attracts women with specific demographics and subscribers will not be representative of all
women, however, a sample well selected, will not be representative. No, this s ample will not even be
representative of all Cosmopolitan subscribers because it is a voluntary response sample - subscribers
themselves choose whether to respond. Those with stronger opinions are more likely to respond so the sample
is unlikely to be representative of all subscribers to the magazine.
5) Given the context of the data, we could address the issue of whether the two types of muffins provide the same
amounts of saturated fat, or whether there is a difference between the two types of muffin.
6) The variable of interest is the teaching method. Possible confounding variables are "skill of teacher" (is one
teacher better than the other?), "aptitude of students" (do the two classes have students of the same ability?),
"amount of study time" (does one class have students who are more conscientious?).
7) Yes. There is nothing about left-handedness or right-handedness that would affect being one of the lawyer's
colleagues. In terms of left- or right-handedness, a simple random sample of the lawyer's colleagues is likely to
be representative of all adults in the United States. Convenience samples in general do not tend to provide good
results as the sample is often not representative of a broader population.
8) Sample: the individuals who responded to the website poll; population: all voting age adults; not representative due
to being a convenience sample.
9) Qualitative data can be separated into categories that are distinguished by nonnumeric characteristics.
Quantitative data consist of numbers representing counts or measurements. Examples will vary.
10) Answers will vary. Using self-reported data may be inaccurate since people may want to represent
themselves in a certain way. For example, people often report that they weigh less than they actually do.
11) In both cluster sampling and stratified sampling, sub -groups (clusters or strata) are formed. However, in
stratified sampling, all strata are used and a sample is selected from each strata. In cluster sampling, a sample of
the clusters is first selected, then all members of those clusters are selected.
12) No. If a correlation (or relationship or association) is found, this doesn't mean that one variable is the cause of
another. Larger weights do not cause higher incomes, but tend to be associated with higher incomes because both
weight and income are associated with a third variable, age. Older women tend to be heavier and to have higher
incomes than younger women.
13) An observational study would be more appropriate. An experiment would not be appropriate because it would be
unethical to administer as a treatment a substance known to be toxic. However a retrospective observational
study, for example, could be carried out by examining records from the past and observing the effects where the
substance had been accidentally ingested.
14) No; The exam result of 53.7% is not substantially greater than 50%. Even if Charlie were just guessing, he could
easily do this well just by chance.
15) Yes. Almost all runners have considerably faster times after the training. Yes. The differences appear to be
substantial.
16) Answers will vary. Possible answer: Cluster sampling can save time and money and be more efficient, especially
when the clusters are geographically far apart from each other. For example, if a researcher wishes to interview a
sample of high school teachers in a school district, it will be easier to interview all the teachers at a few schools
than to interview a few teachers from many different schools.
17) Sample: the 3 selected customers; population: all customers; not representative.

18) Sex education gives students information about sexual activities including the results of engaging in those
activities, such as pregnancy and disease . Promiscuous behavior is more about a lack of information. This
fallacy explanation is saying that since sex education is being taught in high schools, the teachings increase the
promiscuity of teenagers. This is completely false because yes the teenagers are learning how to have safe and
protective sex, but it’s up to them and how they choose to use that information about sex to alter the cause of
their promiscuity.
19) An experiment would be more appropriate..
20) Confounding occurs in an experiment when the effects of two or more variables cannot be distinguished from
each other. Examples will vary. One example is that of a school district that conducts a study regarding whether
the science laboratory approach or the computer simulation approach is better for learning chemistry among
seniors. A standardized achievement test is used to measure learning, and the results of the two schools are
compared. Unless controlled in the study, two confounding variables are teaching expertise and student
motivation.
