1)
Average annual earnings of High School graduates = 1 (let)
Average annual earnings of Community College graduates = 2 (let)
Null Hypothesis H0 : 1 - 2 = 0
2)
Size of sample from High School graduates = n1 (let)
Size of sample from Community College graduates = n2 (let)
Given n1 = 2000 , n2 = 2000 , = 0.05
For the alternate hypothesis 1 < 2 in question 4 ;
3)
The risk of Type 1 error is the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis according to the data obtained from the sample although null hypothesis is true; which is equal to the level of significance of the test.
Risk of Type 1 error = P(Type 1 error) = = 0.05
4)
Alternate hypothesis H1 ; 1 < 2
This hypothesis is directional, as it assumes a relationship between the average annual earnings of High School graduates and Community College graduates. This test is one-tailed test.

An Independent Samples T Test is used to make an inference about whether two groups in the population have different averages on some quantitative measure or dependent variable. This test could be used to compare the average annual earnings of High School graduates, compared to Community College graduates For this potential research question, answer the following questions. Please use only numeric values in your answers to questions 1, 2 and 3 and a word to answer question 4 1) According...
QUESTION 11 You run an independent samples t-test between two groups, and find a t-statistic of t=1.67. Is this sufficient to reject the null hypothesis? Assume α=0.05 and a one-sided test. Yes, > 1.67 is sufficient to reject the null. No, > 1.67 is not sufficient to reject the null. Not enough information. 2 points QUESTION 12 In a dependent samples t-test, the sample sizes must be equal. True False 2 points QUESTION 13 In an independent samples...
two samples of n=5 subjects were analyzed with an independent -samples t-test, producing a t=2.295 does this indicate a significant difference in a two tailed test with alpha= .05?
10. In an independent-samples t test, the ________ is used rather than the ________. Select one: A. standard deviation; pooled variance B. variance; pooled variance C. pooled variance; standard deviation D. standard deviation; variance 11. Dr. Jameson wanted to know if IQ scores differed between male and female participants in his study. He gave 28 participants an IQ test and then compared IQ scores for gender differences. He hypothesized that there would be a statistically significant gender difference in IQ...
Twenty undergraduate students were given t Dependent Samples t-test Badate students were given two versions of a Sitem test. Half of the 20 weerst given the multiple choice version of the test They were then given the same test questions presented in open-ended form s presented in open-ended form (without choices). The other half were given open-ended form of the test first followed by the multiple-choice version. The data Ociow list the number of correct answers on each test for...
What would be the minimum sample size for an independent samples t-test with a small effect size where eta squared = .01, alpha = .05, and statistical power = .70?
The comparisons of Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores based on the highest level of education attained by the test taker's parents are provided. A research hypothesis was that students whose parents had attained a higher level of education would on average score higher on the SAT. The overall mean SAT math score was 514. SAT math scores for independent samples of students follow. Two samples are contained in the Excel Online file below. The first sample shows the SAT math...
Match each research question below with the appropriate analysis: (independent samples t-test, dependent samples t-test, one-way ANOVA, or Chi-Square analysis). 1. Do cereals with a grade of A have significantly fewer calories per serving compared to those with a grade of B? 2. Is there a significant difference in the number of grams of carbohydrates and grams of protein within specific cereals? 3. Is there a significant difference in the ratings from cereals of different manufacturing brands?? 4. Is there...

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...
