An independent-samples t test and getting ready for a date: In an example we sometimes use in our statistics classes, several semesters’ worth of male and female students were asked how long, in minutes, they spend getting ready for a date. The data reported below reflect the actual means and the approximate standard deviations for the actual data from 142 students.
Men: 28, 35, 52, 14
Women: 30, 82, 53, 61

9.28 Assume we know the following for a paired-samples t test: N -32, Mdifference -1.75, s -4.0. a. Calculate the t statistic. b. Calculate a 95% confidence interval for a two-tailed test. c. Calculate effect size using Cohen
After conducting an independent samples t-test, a researcher finds that the 95% confidence interval estimating the difference between the treatment group and the control group is 2.37 ± 1.85. Which of the following is definitely true? Choose one of the 3 the choices. A. The effect size of the comparison between groups is 3.7. B. The mean of the treatment group is 2.37. C. The difference between groups is significant.
Paired-samples t test and graduate admissions: Is it harder to get into graduate programs in psychology or in history? We randomly selected five institutions from among all U.S. institutions with graduate programs. The first number for each is the minimum grade point average (GPA) for applicants to the psychology doctoral program, and the second is for applicants to the history doctoral program. These GPAs were posted on the Web site of the well-known college guide company Peterson’s. Wayne State University:...
Single Sample t-Test Coach Brown is training his runners for an upcoming race, but he is concerned about their pace. He takes down sample times from his top 7 runners to compare it to his all-time standard race speed of 7.9 minutes per kilometer (μ). The sample times from his runners were 8.55 minutes per kilometer (M) with a standard deviation estimate of 0.78 (s). Based on this data, complete the six steps of hypothesis testing given that our research...
Conduct an independent samples t-test (a.k.a., between-subjects design). Each sample should have at least n=8 individuals. What to turn in: 1. What is your research question? 2. State the null (Ho) and alternative (H1) hypotheses. 3. Conduct the hypothesis test using an alpha level of .05, and state your conclusion (Reject Ho/Fail to Reject Ho) regarding the original hypotheses. 4. Calculate and interpret a measure of effect size (est. Cohen's d or r2) and a 95% confidence interval.
For each example, state whether the one-sample, the two-independent-sample, or the related samples t-test is most appropriate. If it is a related samples t-test, indicate whether the test is a repeated measures design or a matched-pairs design. 1) A researcher matches right-handed and left-handed siblings to test whether right-handed siblings express greater emotional intelligence than left-handed siblings. A. one-sample t-test B. two-independent sample t-test C. related samples t-test using the repeated measures design D. related samples t-test using the matched-pairs...
1. When do we use an independent groups t-test? a. b. c. d. When we are comparing means from one sample that has been measured twice. When we are comparing means from two different samples. When we are comparing a sample mean to a population mean. When we are comparing two population means. 2. Which of the following is true regarding the use of t-tests for true experiments versus quasi-experimental designs? a. b. We use the same t-test whether it...

The confidence interval for the independent-samples t test is centered around the _____. difference between means difference between variances sample mean population mean
Using the following data set, conduct an independent samples t-test. Use a= 0.05 and a two-tailed test. Sample 1: 14, 14, 13, 13, 10, 12, 14, 15, 17 Sample 2: 15, 11, 15, 13, 14, 13, 14, 14, 15 1. hypotheses: null and alternative 2. t-critical value; shade of regions of rejection 3. t-obtain 4. conclusion 5. decide if significant 6. compute for confidence interval is significant
