22. The previous problem demonstrates that remov- ing individual differences can substantially reduce variance and lower the standard error. However, this benefit only occurs if the individual differences are consistent across treatment conditions. In problem 21, for example, the participants with the highest scores in the more-sleep condition also had the highest scores in the less-sleep condition. Similarly, partici- pants with the lowest scores in the first condition also had the lowest scores in the second condition. To construct the following data, we started with the scores in problem 21 and scrambled the scores in treatment 1 to eliminate the consistency of the individual differences.

Suppose I'm using chi-square analysis to determine the relationship, if any, between a pair of categorical variables. How should I interpret the results if I get a significant chi-square statistic but see that the high value is driven essentially by only a couple of cells in the crosstab? Is there a better way to proceed to get an imnproved understanding of what's going on? Thanks.
A clinical trial for a psychological therapy for trauma takes 37 women and gives them one treatment for trauma and then, a year later, gives them a different treatment. The measure used to indicate success is a Likert scale where 5 means 'l found the treatment very helpful' and 1 means 'l didn't find it helpful at all. The lead researcher gathers the data and she finds a very high variance of scores across the women in each treatment, and considers giving up the analysis. She plans to do a difference in means analysis with unequal variances (she tested and found the variances were unequal). She asks for your advice: a. She is being too hasty because she is using the wrong technique. This is a paired sample and when she takes the difference in the Likert scale for each subject across the two treatments the variance of the remaining lifferences might be so low that she can detect which treatment is statistically better b. She cannot give different treatments to the same people - it…
5) What is true about a regression using data from a randomized controlled trial? a) The independent variable is exogenous because it was determined randomly. b) The line of best fit does not minimize the sum of squared residuals. c) It eliminates all error due to unmeasured variables. d) The estimated slope is significant no matter how many observations are in the sample. e) The slope of the line of best fit must be equal to the true relationship.
A snow shovel manufacturer is considering a new shovel with small holes punched in it, thought to reduce energy expenditure of the user. The data in the Problem 4 tab provides information for 13 workers using both the conventional shovel and the perforated shovel. Does the data suggest that the energy expenditure of the perforated shovel is lower than that of the conventional shovel? Does the data suggest that the variance of the two shovels is different?
A researcher is testing the effectiveness of an intervention for patients with type 2 diabetes and depression that focuses on increasing medication adherence compared with usual primary care. Patients randomized to the intervention group were more likely to achieve remission of depression compared with patients in the usual care group at 12 weeks (intervention 58.7% vs usual care 30.7%, p < .001). Based on this information and the information found in table 1, how would you interpret the study findings. Table 1.

We are running a hypothesis test to see if blood pressure of African zebras differs significantly from Arabian horses. We assume blood pressure in both populations is normally distributed and both populations have the same population variance in blood pressure which is unknown to us, so we use the sample variances to estimate the standard error for our calculations. We have a sample of size 9 for the African zebras and a sample of size 16 for the Arabian horses. How many degrees of freedom does our test statistic have?
The data from an independent-measures research study produce a sample mean difference of 4 points, and each sample has a variance of 10. If there are n = 20 scores in each sample, then what is the estimated standard error of the difference between means?
A factor in determining the usefulness of an examination as a measure of demonstrated ability is the amount of spread that occurs in the grades. If the spread or variation of examination scores is very small, it usually means that the examination was either too hard or too easy. However, if the variance of scores is moderately large, then there is a definite difference in scores between "better," "average," and "poorer" students. A group of attorneys in a Midwest state has been given the task of making up this year's bar examination for the state. The examination has 500 total possible points, and from the history of past examinations, it is known that a standard deviation of around 60 points is desirable. Of course, too large or too small a standard deviation is not good. The attorneys want to test their examination to see how good it is. A preliminary version of the examination (with slight modifications to protect the integrity of the real examination) is given to a random sample of…
When two independent variables produce effects when combined that would not be present if each independent variables was manipulated in a separate study, we say that there is O no main effect. O only a measured variable an interaction. O a planned comparison. rist and Stangor (2001) studied prejudice and found that you can't predict a person's behavior toward minorities on the basis of whether they are high or low
Roediger and Karpicke (2006) investigated whether the test-enhanced learning effect (the demonstration that repeated testing improves memory for material) was due merely to repeated exposure to material. They randomly assigned participants to one of two conditions(study-study or study-test) and to one of three interval conditions (final test at a delay of 5 minutes, 2 days, or 1 week). The dependent variable was the proportion of idea units recalled for an encyclopedia. How should this be labeled? a. 4x2 between-groups ANOVA b. 2x2 within-groups ANOVA c. 2x3 within-groups ANOVA d. 2x3 between-groups ANOVA
