Yawning Study Applet

But to explore the long-run distribution of these results, we need to repeat the "could have been" results a large number of times, to evaluate how unusual the Mythbusters' results are under the model of random assignment alone.


Below is an internet applet you are to use for this lab. The first window gives you instructions for using the applet. Remember to scroll down in that window for more instructions.)



Optional: Click here for a demo of the above steps using a slightly different applet, but with the same functionality.

Saving the output:

You can create a “screen capture” of your results by pressing the “Print Screen” button on your keyboard (may read “PrtScn” or such). This (invisibly) puts a copy of what you see on the screen on the Clipboard. In Word, you can then paste the image (e.g., CTRL-V or the Paste icon), and the image should appear. Click here for more information on screen captures (e.g., for Macs) if you need it, including how to "crop" the image to focus on the most relevant parts. Remember to save your Word file often.
