Dr. Mоynihаn cоnducts а study exаmining the relatiоnship between the number of panic attacks a person experienced in the past month, the number of nightmares experienced in the past month, and people’s levels of neuroticism (a personality trait characterized by instability, anxiety, and worry). She collects a convenience sample of 50 community college students (25 males, 25 females). Below are her findings: A (number of panic attacks in the past month and neuroticism): r = –.03, 95% CI [–.10, .04]. B (number of panic attacks in the past month and number of nightmares in the past month): r = –.14, 95% CI [–.22, –.60] C (number of nightmares in the past month and neuroticism): r = .48, 95% CI [.28, .68]. Of the three findings in Dr. Moynihan’s study, which associations are statistically significant? How do you know this from the results? What does it mean that an association is statistically significant?
Dr. Pаrrett is а spоrts psychоlоgist for а large Southern university. The provost and chancellor have asked her to examine the relationship between athletic performance and academic stress at the university. For example, is it the case that the most talented athletes experience the greatest concern over their grades? The provost and chancellor have made it clear to Dr. Parrett that they want a large amount of external validity in the study. She has valid and reliable measures of both athletic performance and academic stress. She knows that she does not have the time or the money to study the entire population of interest. What is the difference between a cluster technique and a multistage technique? Explain why Dr. Parrett would be advised to use a cluster technique rather than a simple random sample.

I think that people who illegally ruin their lives by smoking pot are all alike. I think that marijuana should be legal in all 50 states and that people should have easy access to it. Marijuana consumption should never not be controlled. People who smoke marijuana are breaking the law. For each of Dr. Omiata’s statements, state whether it is well worded.
