A professor from the University of Álabama is interested in determining whether or not people from different geographic parts of the country (Northeast, Midwest, South, and West) feel differently about the threat of Natural disasters. Therefore he gathers data from each geographic region. Which method should the researcher use to analyze the data? 1. T-test for independent samples 2. T-test for dependent samples 3. ANOVA 4. Correlation

What causes us to overeat? One surprising factor might be the material of the plate on which our food is served. Williamson, Block, and Keller (2016) gave participants two donuts each and measured the amount of food that was wasted by each participant. In an independent-samples design, participants received their donuts either on a disposable paper plate or on a reusable plastic plate. Data like those observed by the authors are listed below. Paper Plate (Grams of Wasted Food) Plastic Plate (Grams of Wasted Food) 37 34 35 31 34 36 36 30 40 34 34 33 33 37 39 29 Test the hypothesis that participants who received donuts on a paper plate wasted more food than participants who were served donuts on a plastic, reusable plate. Use , two-tailed. Construct a 95% confidence interval to estimate the size of the mean difference. Write the results as they would appear in a scientific journal article.
Below are several research scenarios. Indicate which set of statistical analyses (e.g., ANOVA, independent samples t test, correlated samples t test, correlation, chi-square, regression) should be used to analyze the data collected in study, and explain why that statistical test should be used. (a) Teachers at a local middle school were interested in exploring the effects of a collaborative peer tutor teaching program on the motivation levels seventh-grade students. Four of eight classes of seventh grade students were randomly selected at Bulloch Middle School to serve as subjects in this study. Students within each class were then randomly assigned to one of three groups: a collaborative peer tutor teaching program, group learning activities, or individual learning activities. Each class was taught by a different teacher. The Middleman motivation scale was used to measure motivation in the subjects, and this scale produces scores that range from 1 to 25 with higher scores indicating…

Is gender independent of education level ? A random sample of 395 people were surveyed and each person was asked to report the highest education level they obtained .The data that resulted from the survey is summarized in the following table: High School Bachelors Masters PhD. Female 60 54 46 41 Male 40 44 53 57 Question: Are gender and education level dependent at 5percent level of significance ? In other words given the data collected above is there a relationship between the gender of an individual and the level of education that they have obtained ?
Prof. Lopez wants to know whether type of the exam formats will impact on student’s final exam by ask a group of students taking the final exam with paper format and another group of students taking the same exam with computer format. a. Repeated measure t test b. One way ANOVA c. Independent- measures t test d. Correlation
One of the primary advantages of a repeated-measures design, compared to an independent-measures design, is that it reduces the overall variability by removing variance caused by individual differences. The following data are from a research study comparing three treatment conditions. Treatments Person I II III Totals A 6 8 10 P = 24 B 5 5 5 P = 15 C 1 2 3 P = 6 D 0 1 2 P = 3 M = 3 M = 4 M = 5 N = 12 T = 12 T = 16 T = 20 G = 48 SS = 26 SS = 30 SS = 38 ∑X² = 294 A. Now assume that the data are from a repeated-measures study using the same sample of n = 4 participants in all three treatment conditions. Use a repeated-measures ANOVA with α = .05 to test the significance of the mean differences. Source SS df MS F Between treatments Within treatments Between subjects Error Total B. F critical = C. Explain why the two analyses lead to…
Why is it important to report both a measure of central tendency and variability to describe a set of scores? Group of answer choices Sets of data with different central tendencies may have different patterns of variability. Sets of data with the same central tendency may have the same patterns of variability. Sets of data with the same variability may have different patterns of central tendency. Sets of data with the same central tendency may have different patterns of variability.
