PSYC 2317 - Introduction to Statistical Methods Data Analysis Project To test compliance with authority, a classical experiment in social psychology required participants to administer increasingly painful electric shocks to seemingly helpless victims who agorlize in adjacent room. Each participant earns a score between 0 and 30, depending on the point at which the participant refused to comply with authority an investigator dressed in a white lab coat who orders the continued administration of increasingly intense shocks. A score of 0 signifies the participant' s unwillingness to comply at the very outset. A score of 30 signifies the participant's willingness to comply completely with the experimenter's orders. Ignore the very real ethical issues raised by this type of experiment and assume that you want to study the effect of a \"committee atmosphere\" on compliance with authority. In one condition, shocks are administered only after an affirmative decision by the committee consisting of one real participant and two associates of the investigator who act as participants but in fact always vote to administer the shock. In the other condition, shocks are administered only after an affirmative decision by a solitary real participant. A total of 12 participants are randomly assigned either to the committee condition or to the solitary condition. Below are the compliance scores obtained by each participant.

Determine basic descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, range) for each group and explain what these statistics tell you about the overall performance of the two groups. Explain in complete sentences using terms a person with limited skills and understanding of basic math or statistics could understand. 2. Your research question is to explore whether the two groups differ in compliance to authority. Briefly describe the appropriate statistical strategy and mathematical expressions (i.e., formulas) necessary for addressing this problem. Explain in detail your rationale for your choice of strategy. 3. Perform the statistical analysis you described in item 2. Obit '1 ['(lt l (3'? 4.
