STAT 200 WEEK 8 HOMEWORK – 9.6/10 – 96%
Question 1 (0.5 points)
A team of cognitive psychologists studying the effects of sleep deprivation on short-term memory
decay had eight participants stay in a sleep lab for two days. Four participants were randomly assigned
to a condition in which they were not permitted to sleep during that period, while the other four
participants were allowed to sleep when they wanted to. At the end of the two days, the participants
completed a short-term memory task that yielded the results in the table that follows.
Mean Number of Letters Remembered
Sleep Deprived Normal Sleep
7 9
8 8
7 11
9 7
Using the .05 significance level, did sleep deprivation reduce short-term memory?
Choose the correct HO and HA statements:
Question 1 options:
A) HO : μdeprived = μnormal
HA : μdeprived < μnormal
B)
HO : μdeprived =
μnormal HA : μdeprived ≠
μnormal
C)
HO : pdeprived =
pnormal HA : pdeprived <
pnormal
D)
HO : μdeprived =
μnormal HA : μdeprived >
μnormal

Question 3 (0.5 points)
A B2B Marketing Insider blog of October 7, 2010 examined five currently-used sales closing techniques.
Sales scenarios are presented to a sample of 230 purchasing executives. Each subject received one of the
