1. NHST techniques produce probability (p) figures such as p < .06. What event has a probability of .06 in NHST context? Explain.
2. Which of the following phrases go with events that are in the rejection region of a sampling distribution? Circle all that apply. It may be helpful to make a drawing.
p is small // retain the null hypothesis accept
H1 // middle section of the sampling distribution
3. The table below has blanks for you to fill in. Use the t-distribution table to find the t-critical values or in some cases, use these t-critical values to determine the other missing piece of information such as a level.
N | A level | 2-tail or 1-tail test | critical value |
10 | .05 | two | |
20 | .01 | one | |
35 | .05 | 2.042 | |
6 | .001 | two | |
24 | one | 1.714 | |
56 | .02 | two |

Hypothesis Testing Method A = ADKAR Framework (column A) Method B = Prosci Change Management Methodology (column B) Null hypothesis is H0: Method A = Method B Research (Alternative) hypothesis is H1:Method A < Method B Sample size: 30 One-tailed test: Direction stated in the hypothesis is determine more effective (greater or less than). Level of Significance (a): .05 t-test is used because standard deviation of population is unknown, sample size is less than 30 Cutoff Sample Score (critical value)...
1.) In a sampling distribution of sample slopes, what is each “building block” in the distribution? a.) the difference between a sample slope and the population slope b.) a sample mean c.) a predicted value using the regression equation d.) a sample slope e.) a gently sloping turtle 2.) In inference with regression, what does the p-value represent? a.) the probability that the population slope is zero b.) the probability that the population slope is not zero c.) the probability...
Use Excel Functions and show which functions you used. You may take screenshots. For Problems #1 through #9, consider the following information: According to product packaging, the calorie count for a single house brand premium milk chocolate chip pecan cookie baked exclusively for Sale Mart is 200 calories. A consumer health testing lab tech is double checking this claim, and has collected a random sample of 16 individual milk chocolate chip pecan cookies. The corresponding calories were as follows 193...
Question 4 3 pts The Critical Value changes as we move from a two-tailed hypothes is test to a one-tailed test True False Question 5 3 pts In reference to a Confidence Interval, which are true All the answers are correct The larger the level of alpha, the smaller the Bound of Error (BOE) The larger the level of alpha, the larger the Confidence Coefficient The larger the level of alpha, the larger the standard deviation Question 8 3 pts...
READ THE DIRECTIONS PLEASE 6) Make your own word problem of the form of this problem. Your word problem should apply directly to biology major. State the null and alternative hypotheses and alpha (α) . (Since you don’t have any data, you need not actually conduct the hypothesis test). Please make a word problem stated above and answer all the parts based on the question below. 2 A data set includes data from student evaluations of courses. The summary statistics...
6. The t test for two independent samples - One-tailed example using tables Aa Aa Most engaged couples expect or at least hope that they will have high levels of marital satisfaction. However, because 54% of first marriages end in divorce, social scientists have begun investigating influences on marital satisfaction. [Data source: This data was obtained from National Center for Health Statistics.] Suppose a counseling psychologist sets out to look at the role of economic hardship in relationship longevity. He...
1.) Is the national crime rate really going down? Some sociologists say yes! They say that the reason for the decline in crime rates in the 1980s and 1990s is demographics. It seems that the population is aging, and older people commit fewer crimes. According to the FBI and the Justice Department, 70% of all arrests are of males aged 15 to 34 years.† Suppose you are a sociologist in Rock Springs, Wyoming, and a random sample of police files...
Ste?1 (a) Find an interval containing the ponding P-value for a two-tailed test. we are given a Student's t distribution with df. # 9 and t-, 1.890. We wish to find an interval containing the corresponding P-value for a two-tailed test. To do this, we will use the Critical values for Student'st Distribution. Below is an excerpt from this table. one-tail area 0.250 0.125 0.100 0.075 0.050 0.025 0.010 0.005 0.0005 two-tail areal o.500 ?.250 o.200 0.150 0.100 0.050 0.020...
10. The owner of a company has asked you to conduct an evaluation of the customer satisfaction ratings to see if the company continues to provide customers with customer service that ranks above average. To be considered above average the average customer satisfaction score has to be above 7. Suppose a random sample of 60 customers is taken from a population to evaluate customer satisfaction. The sample mean is 7.25. The sample standard deviation is 1.05. The population mean is...
In this problem, assume that the distribution of differences is approximately normal. Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smalier. In some situations, this choice of d.f. may increase the P-value by a small amount and therefore produce a slightly more "conservative" answer. At five weather stations on Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park, the peak wind gusts (in miles per hour) for January and April are...
