Quiz Instructions

The quiz:

Covers the Learn material from Module 1: Week 1.

Contains 25 multiple-choice questions.
Is limited to 90 minutes.
Allows 1 attempt.
Is worth 50 points.

This quiz is designed to assess understanding of content from this week’s topics covered in the Learn
section (non-cumulative) and will not require use of SPSS. You have 90 minutes to complete these 25
questions. This allows for judicious use of time to refer to assigned readings and presentations (open
book / open notes), but should be completed with no other forms of collaboration.

Please note: that the Qrst question asks you to indicate your agreement to abide by LUO's Online Honor
Code. Answering this question is required.

Submit this assignment by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Sunday of Module 1: Week 1.

Question 2 2 pts

Scenario: Suppose participants complete an experiment where ads are

presented subliminally during a task (e.g., Pepsi ads are \ashed at a very
fast rate during movie ads). Participants are then given a recognition test
for images of the ads, where two images are presented and participants
must choose which one of the two was presented earlier. Both men and
women (18 of each gender) participate in the study, and the researcher
predicts that recognition accuracy (0 â€" 100%) will differ based on
gender. Question: What is the null hypothesis for this scenario?

There is no difference in recognition accuracy based on gender.

There is a difference in recognition accuracy based on gender.

Males have higher recognition accuracy than females.

Males have lower recognition accuracy than females.

Question 6 2 pts
Scenario: A researcher wants to know whether a hard copy of a textbook
provides additional beneQts over an e-book. She conducts a study where
participants are randomly assigned to read a passage either on a piece of
paper or on a computer screen. After a distractor task lasting 30 minutes,
the participants are tested for their comprehension of the passage with a
multiple-choice test containing 10 questions about their passage.

researcher predicts that those randomly assigned to read the passage on
a piece of paper will remember signiQcantly more than those who read
the passage online. Question: What is the null hypothesis for this
scenario?

Question 10 2 pts
Scenario: A researcher wants to see whether ESP abilities in psychics
differ based on environment. Thus, the researcher has psychics predict
