2. You are investigating the relationship between cigarette smoking and illness. The number of
cigarettes smoked daily, and the number of days absent from work in the last year due to illness
was determined for 12 individuals employed at the company where you worked. The result is
shown below. Is the correlation between cigarettes smoked and days absent significant? Make a
meaningful discussion.

3. You wanted to determine whether early exposure to school will affect IQ. You enlist the
aid of the parents of 12 pairs of preschool-age identical twins who agree to let their twins
participate in this experiment. One member of each twin pair is enrolled in pre school for
2 years while the other member of each pair remains at home. At the end of 2 years, the
IQs of all children are measured. The result is presented below. Question: Does early
exposure to school affect IQ? Use α =0.05 . Provide a meaningful discussion.

4. Noting that women seem more interested in emotions than men, you are in the field of
women’s studies wondered if women recall emotional events better than men. She
decides to gather some data on the matter. An experiment is conducted in which 20
highly emotional photographs and then asked to recall them in 1 week after showing. The
following recall data are obtained. Scores are percent correct. Make a conclusion. Using
α =0.05 .

5. A sleep researcher conducts an experiment to determine whether sleep loss affects the
ability to maintain sustained attention. Fifteen individuals are randomly divided into the
following three groups of five subject each: group 1, which gets normal sleep (7-8 hours);
group 2, which is sleep-deprived for 24 hours and group 3, which is sleep-deprived for 48
hrs. All three groups are tested on the same auditory vigilance task. Subjects are
presented with half-second tones spaced at irregular intervals over a 1-hour duration.
Occasionally, one of the tones is slightly shorter than the rest. The subject’s task is to
detect the shorter tones. The following percentages of correct detections were observed,
and results were shown below. Determine whether there is an overall effect for sleep
deprivation, using α =0.05 .
