You want to find the independent and dependent variables taken from a sample of 30 dropouts. You measure the number of delinquent offenses they committed in the year before and the year after they dropped out.
What type of t test should be used when analyzing the data and why?
Would a one-tail or two-tailed test be appropriate and why?
A] Since here we are comparing same data before and after. So these data are paired. Therefore for testing such data we will be used paired t test..
B] One tailed test would be appropriate because here we are measuring the number of delinquent offenses they committed in the year before and the year after they dropped out. so one tailed test will be used.

Explain when you would you use a dependent samples t-Test rather than an independent sample t-Test? What are the benefits and problems with each design? Be specific! Using similar IVs and DVs, design a study that uses a dependent samples t-Test design and a study that uses an independent samples t-Test (base them on the same general topic – this can be any topic, not just the “how fast” topic)). Make sure to note your independent and dependent variables for...
Describe a situation with dependent and independent variables in which you would use a t-test.
A random sample of size 12 is taken from a population, and for each individual in the sample measurements on two variables (X and Y) are obtained. The sample correlation of X and Y is calculated to be r2=0.549081. Carry out a hypothesis test on H0:ρ=0against HA:ρ≠0. If the null hypothesis is true, then the test statistic will follow a t distribution with what degrees of freedom? Number Calculate the value of the test statistic t using the appropriate formula....
For each situation, determine your dependent (DV) and independent (IV) variables and their levels of measurement. Determine an appropriate statistical test for the following situations. You want to know if your colleagues attribute greater importance to social hour than to teamwork. You measured importance of both social hour and team work on a 1 through 7 semantic differential scale where 1 = not at all important and 7 = very important. DV = IV = Test = You want to...

You have a sample of 45 3rd graders who took a reading comprehension test before and after participating in a reading program. The scores on the reading comprehension test are then compared. What is the appropriate test to use? one-sample z-test two-sample t-test for dependent samples none of the above two-sample t-test for independent samples
What is the scenario when performing an independent Sample t Test is required? Assume that a researcher interested in growth spurts among young teens decided to measure the height difference between boys and girls in middle school from a random sample of 200 boys and girls. In this study, what are the two variables of interest and which of the two variables is dependent variable and the other is the dependent variables? In the above scenario, state the null and...
We are interested in determining whether a sample of students at FAU differ significantly from the national college population in terms of the average amount of time spent in college. To evaluate this, we need to conduct a(n) independent samples t-test dependent samples t-test one-sample t-test any of these would be appropriate Question 8 1 pts We are interested in determining whether husbands differ from their wives on weight loss after taking a weight loss supplement. To evaluate this, we...
A sample of size 100, taken from a population whose standard deviation is known to be 8.90, has a sample mean of 51.16. Suppose that we have adopted the null hypothesis that the actual population mean is greater than or equal to 52, that is, H0 is that μ ≥ 52 and we want to test the alternative hypothesis, H1, that μ < 52, with level of significance α = 0.05. a) What type of test would be appropriate in...
Consider a multiple regression model of the dependent variable y on independent variables x1, X2, X3, and x4: Using data with n 60 observations for each of the variables, a student obtains the following estimated regression equation for the model given: y0.35 0.58x1 + 0.45x2-0.25x3 - 0.10x4 He would like to conduct significance tests for a multiple regression relationship. He uses the F test to determine whether a significant relationship exists between the dependent variable and He uses the t...
