Here is a quote from an npr news article: “on average, working-age adults were eating about 78 fewer calories per day in 2010, compared with five years earlier. the new report is based on data from the national health and nutrition examination survey, which collects details on eating habits and other health-related information from a nationally representative sample of about 10,000 people in the u.s.” which of the following is true about the numerical value 78? a. it is an anecdote. b. it is a parameter. c. it is a simulation. d. it is a statistic.

Weak stimulus will cause a weak action potential. the stronger the stimulus, the stronger the action potential. a. true b. false

(adapted from m. m. duguid and j. a. goncalo, living large: the powerful overestimate their own height. ) in a study of power and self-image, participants were not told the true purpose of the study; instead, they believed they were participating in a business simulation. researchers randomly assigned participants to a high power(n = 44) or low-power (n = 44) condition. in the high-power condition, participants recalled a time when they had power over others, and in the low-power condition, they recalled a time when others had power over them. participants were asked to adjust the height (in centimeters) of an electronic graphical image (an avatar)of themselves to reflect their personal appearance. results indicated a statistically significant difference in participants’ perceptions of their own height across the two conditions. participants in the high-power condition created taller self-images (mean = 6.0, standard deviation = 1.5) than participants in the low-power condition(mean = 4.0, standard deviation = 1.0). * describe independent variable- describe how researchers measured the independent variable- explain why the researchers can conclude that there is a cause-and-effect relationship between the independent and dependent variables. - explain what statistical significance means in the context of the study.- explain why debriefing would be necessary in the study. -
