A psychologist wanted to study the effect of television violence on cortisol levels in the blood (high scores indicate high levels). The psychologist measured cortisol levels in seven participants before and after the participants watched a violent show. Participants' cortisol level scores are listed below. The researcher is interested if there is a change in the cortisol levels after watching the violent show. Carry out a t test for dependent means (using the .01 significance level). What should the researcher conclude? a.) Use the five steps of hypothesis testing. Label all the steps clearly. Show ALL work/calculations. b.) Report the statistic in APA format (the statistical sentence). Cortisol Levels in Blood Before and After Watching Violent Show Participant Before After A 3 3 C 169 F 4 2) 6

Individual actions can play a large role in the overall health of our planet. A researcher interested in evaluating environment friendly behaviors evaluated how often people recycle (per month) based on whether they have an overall optimistic or an overall pessimistic attitude toward eco-friendly behaviors. The results from this hypothetical study are given in the table. Test whether or not recycling behaviors differed between groups using a .05 level of significance. State the value of the test statistics and the decision to retain or reject the null hypothesis. Compute effect size using eta- squared (n^2).

An IO psychologist is measuring the number of items a factory worker produces during the morning, afternoon or at night. What kind of test should be used on this data?
The respiratory disturbance index (RDI), which is the number of apneic and hypopneic episodes per hour of sleep, was used as a measure of severity of sleep apnea. An RDI of 5 or more indicates sleep-related breathing disturbances. The RDIs for the females and males samples in a study in US are as follows. Female 0.1 0.5 0.3 2.3 2.0 1.4 0.0 Male 2.6 19.3 1.4 1.0 0.0 39.2 4.1 0.0 2.1 1.1 5.6 5.0 7.0 2.3 4.3 7.5 16.5 7.8 3.3 8.9 7.3 At the 1% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the female patients are less suffer than male from the apnea disease?
Researchers asked soda drinkers to view either the logo for their favorite soda or a graphic warning demonstrating the harmful effects of sugary beverages (e.g., tooth decay, obesity) and then measured their negative mood with a short survey. They found that those participants who saw the warnings reported significantly greater negative moods than those who saw the logos. Which statistical test should be used?
A study was done to determine if food insecurity/hunger impacts psychological distress (this is fake data to make it simple, but it is based off of a 2020 study that examined the associations between food insecurity and psychological distress among older people in Ghana). Participants were broken into three groups based on their responses: no food insecurity, moderate food insecurity, and severe food insecurity. Psychological distress was measured on the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10), where scores range from 0 to 50. Enter data and test to determine if there is a significant difference between the 3 groups in psychological distress Food insecurity: Psychological distress scores (higher = more distress) No food insecurity 5 6 8 10 5 4 14 9 Moderate food insecurity 16 14 9 7 14 8 16 17 Severe food insecurity…
Verbal intelligence was a topic that Jamie was very interested in. She conducted a study to see whether children with ADHD had lower scores on measures of verbal intelligence than those without ADHD. She divided children in her study into 4 groups- those clearly diagnosed with ADHD- combined type, those clearly diagnosed with ADHD- inattentive type, those with ADHD symptoms but not clearly diagnosed, and those without ADHD. Then she measured their scores on the Reading Comprehension task, Vocabulary task and Writing Task. What type of statistic did she run? A 4 way MANOVA A 4 way MANCOVA A one way MANOVA A Factorial MANOVA
For this example should a correlated or independent sample t test be used? Delayed posttest achievement scores were compared withimmediate posttest scores for all participants.
A study was conducted to examine the impact of speaking in public on college students. A class of 15 students participated in the study. At the beginning of a lecture the students recorded their systolic blood pressure. During the lecture the instructor called on each student to stand and answer questions about topics in the lecture. After speaking the students once again recorded their blood pressure. The resulting values are given below along with summary statistics. We are interested if the blood pressure increased because of speaking. Provide the test statistic value in the box below. Use 3 decimal places. Mean SD Before 125.3 15.03 After 127.9 15.5 Difference (Before - After) -2.6 14.87
A lecturer wants to see if a PowerPoint presentation will change students' understanding of a certain concept in Statistics. Five students were randomly selected for the study and were given a pre-test on their understanding of the statistical concept. Then, the students viewed the PowerPoint presentation and afterwards were given a post-test on their understanding of the statistical concept. The data are shown in the table below: Student 3 20 18 4 20 18 18 25 35 Pre-test score 22 Post-test score 35 41 Test at a 5% level of significance whether the PowerPoint presentation makes a difference in the average understanding of the statistical concept. Assume that samples are drawn from a normal population.
