µD ≤ 0
µ ≤ 5
µ1 > µ2
Question 7
A researcher obtains t = 2.80 for a repeated-measures study examining the difference in reading ability before and after completing a reading comprehension course among a sample of n = 16 participants. What is the value of r2?
Group of answer choices
r2 = .149
r2 = .329
r2 = .343
cannot be determined with the information given.
Question 8
For the repeated measures t-test, the value of r2 tells you ___.
Group of answer choices
the proportion of differences in the dependent variable which can most likely be attributed to the independent variable
the proportion of differences in the independent variable which can most likely be attributed to the dependent variable
the proportion of differences between two measures of the dependent variable which can be accounted for by individual differences
the proportion of differences between two measures of the independent variable which can be accounted for by individual differences
Question 2
Answer:
individual differences
----------
Question 3
Answer:
µD = 0
-------------
Question 7
t = 2.80
n = 16
df = n-1 =15
r² = t²/(t²+df) = 2.8²/(2.8²+15) = 0.343
Answer: r2 = 0.343
-------------
Question 8
Answer:
the proportion of differences in the independent variable which can most likely be attributed to the dependent variable

10. Advantages and disadvantages of the related-samples design Aa Aa E Disadvantages of using a related sample (either one sample of participants with repeated measures or two matched samples) versus using two independent samples include which of the following? Check all that apply. O A study that uses related samples to compare two drugs (specifically, one sample of participants with repeated measures) can have a carryover and/or order effect such that the effects of the drug taken before the first...
The primary factor that determines the statistical test students should use is the number of independent and dependent variables. True or False When investigating the relationship between two or more quantitative variables, chi-square is the appropriate test.True or False The Pearson correlation coefficient measures the association between two quantitative variables, distinguishing between the independent and dependent variables.True or False Multiple regression is used when there are several dependent variables and one independent quantitative variable.True or False When testing for the...
Imagine that you wish to examine two sample means to decide if you can reject the hypothesis that µ1= µ2. The sample means are comprised of GPAs (grade point averages) that were collected from different, randomly chosen, students at two different universities. Which of the following types of tests should you use? Group of answer choices A z test A one-sample t test A paired-samples t test An independent-samples t test None of the tests listed above could be appropriate.
6. Engagement Activity: The t Test for Two Related Samples In the last chapter, you were introduced to Professor Ken Bonanno's Statistical Methods in Psychology class, where students are asked to complete a research study as a part of the semester-long course. Many of his students' research questions could be asked using the independent-measures t test, but there are other approaches, which will be explored in this chapter. Click the following topics to see some sample questions asked by Professor Bonanno's students....
Question 7 2 pts A researcher is interested in whether there are significant differences between 5-year olds, 10-year olds, and 15-year olds in working memory scores. In planning his hypothesis tests, the researcher identified age as the independent variable and working memory as his dependent variable. Can the researcher use an independent-samples t test to test his hypothesis? Why or why not? Yes, because there is one nominal independent variable and one scale dependent variable No, because the independent variable...
contrasting a repeated measures research design with matched subjects and independent measures designs A graduate student is interested in whether journaling can affect grief and healing. She has participants who have been widowed within the past 10-14 months complete a battery of psychological questionnaires before and after journaling about their daily problems for 2 months. The first time the graduate student conducted this study, she used a repeated-measures design and compared the widows' and widowers' baseline scores with their scores...
Question 4 1.5 pts Which of the following statement is true based on the following regression equation? IQ = 4.0 + Reading Label * 5.6 A unit point change in IQ will result in 5.6-point increase in reading label. O A unit point change in IQ will result in 9.6-point increase in reading label. A unit point change in reading label will increase IQ by 5.6 point Reading label is not a good predictor of IQ. Question 5 1.5 pts...
please answer all of the following much appreciated!! Question 8 Given the following 2 sets of data, what would the degrees of freedom be for an independent measures t-test? 12, 4, 9, 0, 1,5 2, 4, 8, 16,3 Question 9 4 points Save Answer Shannon Louise wants to see if dunking your face in cold water before a test causes a difference in test scores. She samples two groups, where one group will dunk their face into water before beginning...
Looking for some help with this stats problem - will give good reviews! Attempts Average: /19 10. Comparing repeated-measures ANOVA to independent-measures ANOVA Aa Aa You are interested in studying how formal language exposure and deafness affect language acquisition. You want to compare three groups: a hearing group, a deaf group that began learning American Sign Language (ASL) before age 1, and a deaf group that did not begin learning ASL until age 1. You are trying to decide whether...
Question 10 A psychologist would like to evaluate the relationship between verbal skills as measured by the Scholastic Achievement Test (SAT) and performance on an anagram task. (Anagrams are words with the letters scrambled. The task is to unscramble the letters and identify the word.) Each subject is given a set of 10 anagrams, and the psychologist records how much time is needed to solve all 10. The anagram times and each subject's SAT score are recorded. Please choose the...
