3. The city council of a large city is considering a new law that prohibits talking on a cell phone while driving. A consumer ri
ghts organization wants to know if talking on a cell phone while driving distracts a person’s attention, causing that person to make errors while driving. An experiment is designed that uses a driving simulator to compare the two treatments:
driving while talking on a cell phone and driving while not talking on a cell phone.
The number of errors made while driving on an obstacle course will be recorded for each driver. Each person in a random sample of 200 licensed drivers in the city was asked to
participate in the experiment. All of the drivers agreed to participate in the experiment. Half of the drivers were randomly assigned to drive an obstacle course while talking on a phone.
The remaining half were assigned to drive the obstacle course while not talking on a phone.
The Subjects: The subject of this research are the drivers who were selected randomly to take part in the experiment
The Treatment: The treatment for this research will therefore be driving and also talking on a cell phone at the same time and also driving while not talking on the phone
The response variable for the experiment: The number of errors that will be made by the drivers as they drive on an obstacle course.
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. The operation to be done here is just multiplication. We just have to get the product of the two values being enclosed with the parentheses and it is <span>1.05×10−14. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>
