Chapter 6.5, Problem 17E
T-maze A mouse is put into a T-maze (a maze shaped like a T). In this maze, it has the choice of turning to the left and being rewarded with cheese or going to the right and receiving a mild shock. Before any conditioning takes place (i.e., on trial 1), the mouse is equally likely to go to the left or to the right. After the first trial, its decision is influenced by what happened on the previous trial. If it receives cheese on any trial, the probabilities of going to the left or right become .9 and .1, respectively, on the following trial. If it receives the electric shock on any trial, the probabilities of going to the left or right on the next trial become .7 and .3, respectively. What is the probability that the mouse will turn left on the second trial?

Each day, mice are put into a T maze. In this maze they have a choice of turning left (are rewarded with cheese) or to the right (receive cheese along with mild shock). After the first day, their decision whether to turn right or left is influenced by what happened on the previous day. Of those that go to the left on a certain day, 90% go to the left and the next day 10% go to the right. Of those that go to the right on a certain day, 60% go to the left on the next day and 30% go to the right.
a. Set up a stochastic matrix with columns and rows labeled L and R that describes this situation
b. Compute the second power of martrix in part a
c. Suppose that the first day (day 0), 50% go to the left and 50% go to the right. So the initial distribution is given by the column matrix .5 and .5 using the matrixes in part a and part b find the distribution matrixes for the next two days , day 1 and day 2
d. Make a guess as to the percentage of mice that will go to th left after 50 days.
It is claimed that a vitamin supplement helps mice learn to run a maze more quickly and, in fact, to beat a non-treated mouse 70% of the time (whereas without the supplement, it would only win half of the time). To test this claim, you divide a group of 20 mice randomly into ten pairs, giving one of each pair the vitamin supplement. You run each pair through the maze and find that seven out of ten of the mice treated with the vitamin supplement beat the untreated mice.
a) What is the probability of obtaining this result if the claim is true?
b) What is the probability of obtaining this result if the claim is false (i.e., the supplement has no effect)?
c) Suppose before you ran this experiment, you thought it was equally likely that the claim was true or false. After running the experiment, what is your belief? What is the updated probability?
A researcher is interested in the effects of cocaine on learning. A group of rats is randomly assigned to receive either cocaine or a non-harmful saline solution. The rats are taught how to run a maze. The cocaine rats need to be reared away from the control group rats, so they are handled and taught by one experimenter, and the control group rats are handled and taught by another experimenter. The results showed that the control group rats learned how to run the maze more quickly than the cocaine rats.

- Many animals, including humans, tend to avoid directeye contact and even patterns that look like eyes.Some insects, including moths, have evolved eye-spotpatterns on their wings to help ward off predators.Scaife (1976) reports a study examining how eye-spotpatterns affect the behavior of birds. In the study, thebirds were tested in a box with two chambers andwere free to move from one chamber to another. Inone chamber, two large eye-spots were painted onone wall. The other chamber had plain walls. Theresearcher recorded the amount of time each birdspent in the plain chamber during a 60-minute session.Suppose the study produced a mean of M = 34.5 minutes on the plain chamber with SS = 210 for a sample of n = 15 birds. (Note: If the eye spots have no effect,then the birds should spend an average of μ = 30minutes in each chamber.)a. Is this sample sufficient to conclude that the eyespots have a significant influence on the birds’behavior? Use a two-tailed test with α = .05.b.

- Itranscript One male and one female dam rat pup were randomly selected from 8 litters to perform the swim maze. Each pup was placed in the water at one end of the maze and allowed to swim until it escaped at the opposite end. If the pup failed to escape after a certain period of time, it was placed at the beginning of the maze and given another chance. The experiment was repeated until each pup accomplished three successful escapes. The table to the right reports the number of swims required by each pup. Is there sufficient evidence of a difference between the mean number of swims required by male and female pups? Use a=0.01. Comment on the assumptions required for the test to be valid.

They conducted an experiment in which 20 basketball players with similar abilities were randomly assigned to two groups. The 10 players in group 1 received visualization training, and the 10 players in group 2 did not. Each player stood 22 feet from the basket at the same location on the basketball court. Each player was then instructed to attempt to make the basket until two consecutive baskets were made. The players who received visualization training were instructed to use visualization techniques before attempting to make the basket. The total number of attempts, including the last two attempts, were recorded for each player. The total number of attempts for each of the 20 players are summarized in the following boxplots.

- An Instructor teaching three sections of Introductory Psychology, each section covering the same material. She has made up a different final exam for each section, but she suspects that one of the versions is more difficult than other two. She decides to conduct an experiment to evaluate the difficulty of the exams. During the review period, just before finals, she randomly selects five volunteers for each class. Class 1 volunteers are given version 1 of the exams, Class 2 volunteers get version and Class 3 volunteers receive version 3. Of course, all volunteers are sworn not to reveal any of the exam questior and also, of course, all of the volunteers will receive different final exam from the one they took in the experiment. The following are the results.

- Reflexology and Breast Cancer cancer. Prior to the study, each patient was asked to identify a friend or family member (called the caregiver) who was willing to learn how to deliver a foot reflexology treatment and perform the treatment at least once per week A recently published journal article describes a study conducted by MSU researchers. The researchers recruited 256 women living in the Midwest who were undergoing treatment for breast for four weeks. At the beginning of the study, all 256 patients were interviewed by trained data collectors via telephone. Data collectors recorded the age, race, ethnicity, level of education, employment income, and their relationship to their caregiver. They also recorded responses to questions evaluating their depressive symptoms and the severity of 13 medical symptoms such as pain, fatigue, nausea, dry mouth, etc. Symptoms were rated as mild, moderate, or severe. After the first interview, half of the patients were randomly assigned to receive…arrow_forwardA researcher wanted to study the tendency of people’s choices to be influenced by their environment, so she conducted an experiment. The researcher recruited 90 volunteers. She randomly assigned 30 to sit in a room with red walls, 30 to sit in a room with yellow walls, and 30 to sit in a room with orange walls. After sitting in the room for a while doing mundane activities, she offered them all a snack of strawberries, bananas, or oranges. For each individual, she recorded which room the participant was in and which snack they chose. The data are displayed in the table. The researcher would like to know if these data provide convincing evidence that the distribution of snack choice differs for the various room colors in the population of all volunteers like these. Are the conditions for inference met?arrow_forward"Coffee drinkers often claim that the caffeine in the coffee makes them more alert. A researcher wonders if this enhanced alertness is merely an illusion or if caffeine actually makes people more alert. To test the effect of caffeine on alertness, the researcher asks people to drink one cup of caffeinated coffee, one cup of plain water, one cup of caffeinated water, or one cup of decaffeinated coffee. After drinking the beverage each participant was given an electroencephalogram (EEG). The researcher hypothesized that the caffeinated beverages would result in greater electrical activity than the non-caffeinated beverages. Which of the following would be most likely to increase the size of the treatment effect in this study? " Only use people in the study who are between the ages of 25 and 35 rather than 25 and 75. Increase the amount of beverage participants drink from one cup to two cups. Have experienced EEG technicians collect data rather than train students…arrow_forward
