1.      (25 points) A sports psychologist gave a questionnaire about healthy eating habits to randomly selected professional athletes. The results are displayed below. Using the .05 significance level, is there a difference in healthy eating habits among professionals in the three sports?

Baseball Players              Basketball Players              Football Players

            32                                    27                                        27

            26                                    25                                        26

            35                                    30                                        20

a.       Make a graph for the data set.

b.      Use the five steps of hypothesis testing (report results in APA format).

c.       Figure the effect size of this study.

d.      Conduct a planned contrast for Baseball versus Football players (using Tukey’s HSD).

2.      (25 points) A researcher is interested in the effects of sleep deprivation and caffeine intake on mood. Participants were randomly assigned to a sleep condition (normal or deprived) and a caffeine condition (0 cups, 2 cups, or 4 cups). After the manipulations, mood was measured (such that higher numbers indicated better mood). The results were as follows:

               Normal Condition                            Deprived Condition

            0 cups  2 cups  4 cups                          0 cups  2 cups  4 cups

                16       18         18                                0          5          6

                17       20         17                                6          4          8

                20       20         17                                3          4          6

                19       19         17                                2          2          7

                18       18         16                                4          5          8

Analyze these data using a factorial analysis of variance and including R2 for each effect.

3.      (25 points) A researcher was interested in whether college GPA (X) would predict starting salary after college (Y). (For simplicity, salary was converted to a 100-point scale.) The participants' scores were:

            2.25                 55

            1.75                 23

            3.25                 80

            3.75                 42       

            M = 2.75          M = 50

a.       Report the correlation and linear prediction equation.

b.      Make a graph with the regression line.

c.       Figure the standardized regression coefficient.

4.      (25 points) An advertising firm wanting to target people with strong desires for success conducted a study to see if such people differed in the types of television shows they watched.
