1. A researcher is investigating the physical characteristics that influence whether a person's face is judged as beautiful. The researcher selects a photograph of a woman and then creates two modifications of the
photo by (1)moving the eyes slightly farther apart and (2) moving the eyes
slightly closer together. The original photograph and the two modifications are then shown to a sample of n=150 college students, and
each student is asked to select the "most beautiful" of the three faces.
The distribution of responses are as follows:
Original Photo Eyes Moved Apart Eyes Moved Together
51 72 27
Do the data indicate any significant preferences among the three versons of the photograph? Test at the .05 level of significance.
2. Gender differences in dream content are well documented (see Winget & Kramer, 1979). Suppose a researcher studies aggression content in the dreams of men and women.

the following matrix:
Aggression Content
Gender Low Medium High
Female 18 4 2
Male 4 17 15
Is there a relationship between gender and the aggression content of dreams? Test with α=.01.
