Researchers are trying to gain knowledge into the cognitive distortions of sexual offenders. They
expect that there will be a "norm" of cognitive distortions, but what is emerging is a substantial
amount of variability.
Whereas it is evident that some offenders distort their intentions, some distort
the interests in their victims, and some have distortions about the concepts of love and intimacy.
What is the name of the type of statistics that illustrates how much responses vary from the "norm?"
a) Measures of variability
b) Measures of central tendency
c) Range
d) Variance

A valet parking attendant is interested in when she gets bigger tips. To study this question, she records the size of the tip given by her customers on 3 extremely hot summer days, 3 warm spring days, and 3 cold winter days
Complete an analysis of variance to test the differences between mean tips with significance (a = .05), to determine which groups differ from each other. Hot Day Warm Day Cold Day $2.00 $4.00 $5.00 $2.00 $4.00 $6.00 $3.00 $3.00 $4.00 17. What is the null hypothesis? 18. What is the research hypothesis? 19. Calculate the total sum of squares. 20.
