Six-year-old Santiago, who is Mexican American, seems to be a very bright boy. He began reading simple picture books when he was 4 years old, and he can solve many one-digit addition and subtraction problems in his head
Yet when the teacher asks the class to answer these types of math problems Santiago is tentative in providing his answers compared to the other students (who are mostly European Americans and African Americans) who shout them out to the teacher. With the textbook's discussion of cultural differences in verbal interaction in mind, identify the most likely explanation of Santiago's behavior. a. He has been taught that saying anything at all to adults is rude. b. He is accustomed to his culture, which values tentativeness in expressing opinions. c. He is accustomed to speaking only in unison with other children. d. He has learned that to be polite he must wait at least a minute before responding.
Your head of research has followed your advice and now wants you to measure effect sizes. You report a Pearson’s r of 0.50 for the impact of increased consumption of oily fish supplements on student reading scores. Your head of research wants to know if this is bad, as she remembers that a p-value of 0.30 is not good. What do you tell her?
A. You tell her that effect size and p-values are not the same and that a Pearson’s r of 0.50 is a large effect, suggesting she should encourage the use of oily fish supplements. B. You tell her that effect size and p-values are the same and that a Pearson’s r of 0.50 means there is no statistically significant effect and oily fish supplements should not be given. C. You tell her that effect size and p-values are not the same and that a Pearson’s r of 0.50 is a small effect, suggesting she should stop the use of oily fish supplements until more data analysis is done. D. You tell her that effect size and p-values are not the same and that a Pearson’s r of 0.50 is a medium effect, suggesting she should encourage the use of oily fish supplements.
