A health researcher conducted an experiment in which participants watched a film that either did or did not include a person being injured because of not wearing a seat belt. A week later, as part of a seemingly different study, these same participants reported how important they thought it was to wear seat belts. The 16 participants who had seen the injury film gave a mean rating of 8.9 with an estimated population standard deviation of 2.1. The 36 participants in the control condition had a mean of 7.0 with an estimated population standard deviation of 2.4. Do these results suggest that seeing a movie with a person being injured due to not wearing a seat belt makes attitudes more positive (higher ratings) towards seat belt usage? (Use the .01 level.)

A letter written by the vice president of academic affairs that lists sanctions for faculty and students who criticize the institution or staff in the student newspaper, classrooms, and electronic forums such as blogs and Facebook.
An applicant’s letter that states that the admissions office has refused to accept her because she came to her admissions interview wearing a headscarf and refused to remove it when interviewed.
An anonymous letter from an admissions counselor stating that he has been told to inform applicants that “”this institution does not support students with learning disabilities.””
A report on the number of admission exceptions submitted by the admissions office last semester in which the director of admissions waived entry requirements. More than 90% of all students who are accepted to the institution fall in the exceptions category.

A three-month-old grade appeal that includes a student complaint stating that a faculty member had made unwanted sexual advances and threatened to lower her grades if she did not comply with the demands. The student reported the incident to the dean of student affairs, who told her to “”just say no.”” The student did so and earned an “”F”” in the course.
