11) In the 1936 Presidential Election Franklin D. Roosevelt
defeated Alfred E. Landon in a landslide vote. A Landon
victory had been predicted by the Literary Digest, a magazine
that ran the oldest, largest, and most widely publicized of the
polls at the time. The Digest's final prediction was based on
10 million sample ballots mailed to prospective voters, and
2.3 million were returned. The sample of voters was drawn
from lists of automobile and telephone owners. Despite the
massive size of this sample, it failed to predict a Roosevelt
victory, being off the mark by 19 percentage points. The
Digest was wrong because
A. the sample size, although large, was not large enough
B. the right research questions were not asked
C. respondents intentionally lied about their preferred
candidate
D. the sample used was not representative of the actual
population at the time
12) In a study on the effect of reinforcement on learning
from a company online training program, two experimental
treatments are planned: reinforcement given after every
learning module, or reinforcement given after every two
learning modules. Reinforcement is accomplished with the
addition of more examples. Which one of the following
control groups would serve best in this study?
A. A group that does not read any of the learning modules.

6. B. A group that reads the modules using hardcopy only.
C. A group that reads the learning modules, but does not
receive reinforcement.
D. A group that reads the learning modules with random
reinforcement.

researchers because it states that as sample sizes increase,
the distribution of the sample ________ collected from
consumers on any topic of interest being researched
approaches the normal distribution.
A. medians
B. means
C. standard deviations
D. variances
14) To find confidence intervals for the mean of a normal
distribution, the t distribution is usually used in practical
applications instead of the standard normal distribution
because

D. the sample size is not known
15) We wish to develop a confidence interval for the
population mean. The population follows the normal

represent the level of confidence is
A.
