Many textbooks (though not this one) advocate testing the mean of a sample against a hypothesized population mean by using z even if the population standard deviation is not known, so long as the sample size exceeds 30. Those books recommend this because
a. they don't know any better. b. there are not tables for t for more than 30 degrees of freedom. c. the difference between t and z is small for that many cases. d. t and z are exactly the same for that many cases.
When Justin's mother said to her elderly father, "Dad, Justin wants to share his baseball story with you!" he replied, "I don't care about history anymore." Why would her father respond in that way?
Reduced auditory input prevented him from hearing the entire communication. His memory of baseball has faded, so he did not understand what she said. His working memory could not contain the entire spoken message. His sensory threshold was very sensitive.

According to your textbook, women are ten times as likely as men to suffer from an eating disorder. Research has also demonstrated that parts of the frontal lobes of women's brains are thicker than the frontal lobes of men's brains. It would be easy to
suggest, therefore, that having a thicker area in the frontal lobe causes women to have a higher rate of eating disorders. Why is this explanation invalid? a. Because it does not take into account the impact of societal pressure on women to be thin. b. Because the only way to measure the thickness of cerebral lobes is through autopsy after death, and there is no way to know if those areas are also thicker when a person is alive. c. Because it ignores the fact that men have a thicker parietal cortex, which might also explain the eating disorder disparity. d. Because eating behaviors are controlled by the hypothalamus, which is not located in the frontal lobes of the brain.
