A study reported in the Journal of Small Business Management concluded that self- employed individuals do not experience higher job satisfaction than individuals who are not self-employed. In this study, job satisfaction is measured using 18 items, each of which is rated using a Likert-type scale with 1-5 response options ranging from strong agreement to strong disagreement. A higher score on this scale indicates a higher degree of job satis- faction. The sum of the ratings for the 18 items, ranging from 18–90, is used as the mea- sure of job satisfaction. Suppose that this approach was used to measure the job satisfaction for lawyers, physical therapists, cabinetmakers, and systems analysts. The results obtained for a sample of 10 individuals from each profession follow.

A psychologist wanted to know if students in her class were more likely to cheat if they were low achievers. She divided her 60 students into three groups (low, middle, and high) based on their mean exam score on the previous three tests. She then asked them to rate how likely they were to cheat on an exam if the opportunity presented itself with a very limited chance for consequences. The students rated their desire to cheat on a scale ranging from 1-100, with lower numbers indicating less desire to cheat.

Seattle Grace Medical Center. As part of a long-term study of individuals 65 years of age or older, doctors at the Seattle Grace Medical Center in Washington state investigated the relationship between state of residence and depression. A sample of 60 individuals, all in reasonably good health, was selected; 20 individuals were residents of Texas, 20 were residents of Washington state, and 20 were residents of South Carolina. Each of the individuals sampled was given a standardized test to measure depression. The data collected follow; higher test scores indicate higher levels of depression. These data are contained in the attached data file SeattleGrace1. A second part of the study considered the relationship between state of residence and depression for individuals 65 years of age or older who had a chronic health condition such as diabetes and/or high blood pressure. A sample of 60 individuals with such conditions was identified. Again, 20 were residents of Texas, 20 were residents…
You want to compare males and females in their use of coping strategies when engaged in conflict in relationships. You send surveys to couples obtained from marriage license application at the county clerk's office. You identify several distinct coping strategies on the survey and have the respondents rate their use of each strategy on a 7-point scale. You then compare scores that come from the two members of each relationship. If testing hypotheses about the effects of gender on use of coping strategies, it would be most appropriate to calculate a ... 1) independent-samples t 2) one sample t 3) paired samples t 4) z test
A substance abuse counselor wants to demonstrate the effect of situational stress on alcohol cravings. He recruits two groups of men who are similar in respect to history of alcohol use and demographic variables. He divides them in to two groups. In one group(n=11), the men are exposed to a stressful situation and then asked to complete a measure rating their alcohol cravings on a scale from 0-10, where 0 representsno cravings and 10 represents intense cravings. In the second group (n=10), the men are exposed to a neutral situation and asked to complete the same measure. What test and graph should I create to find out if a stressful situation result in more intense alcohol cravings than a non-stressful situation?

Caden then performs a significance test. First, he performs 100 simulations. For each simulation, he randomly reorganizes the subjects into two groups, A and B, of size 10. In the simulations, group A plays the role of the treatment group and group B plays the role of the control group. After each simulation, he subtracts the average for group B from the average for group A. The distribution of the differences for all 100 simulations is shown in the histogram. 30 28 26 24 22 12 10 6. 2 Group A avg. - Group B avg.

GSS 2018 respondents were asked to rate their level of agreement to the statement, “Differences in income in America are too large.” Responses were measured on a 5-point scale: 1 = strongly agree, 2 = agree, 3 = neutral, 4 = disagree, and 5 = strongly disagree. Strong Democrats had an average score of 1.69 (s = 1.04, N = 86) while strong Republicans had an average score of 2.11 (s = 1.05, N = 67). The estimated standard error of the difference between meansis 0.17. What is the appropriate test statistic? Why? Test the null hypothesis with a one-tailed test (strong Democrats are more likely to agree with the statement than strong Republicans); α = .05. What do you conclude about the difference in attitudes for these two political groups? If you conducted a two-tailed test with α = .05, would your decision have been different?
A visiting comparative literature student from Cambridge University believes that contemporary readers prefer novels from George RR Martin (the author of the Games of Thrones saga) to Shakespeare. She devises a study in which 40 participants are asked to read excerpts from both Shakespeare plays and Games of Thrones books and rate their level of satisfaction for each excerpt. Satisfaction is measured using a 5-point Likert scale (5 indicates high satisfaction). In order to allow for a fair comparison, she hides the name of the authors and recruits a professional translator to adapt the Games of Thrones text to old Elizabethan English. The order of presentation is also randomised and balanced across participants. The attached CSV file contains the data that was collected for the experiment. What can you conclude from the results of this experiment? I require assistance on: Identifying the appropriate statistical test. Conducting the statistical test in JASP, Excel or SPSS. Reporting…

The Consumer Reports Restaurant Customer Satisfaction Survey is based upon 148,599 visits to full-service restaurant chains (Consumer Reports website). One of the variables in the study is meal price, the average amount paid per person for dinner and drinks, minus the tip. Suppose a reporter for the Sun Coast Times thought that it would be of interest to her readers to conduct a similar study for restaurants located on the Grand Strand section in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The reporter selected a sample of 8 seafood restaurants, 8 Italian restaurants, and 8 steakhouses. The following data show the meal prices ($) obtained for the 24 restaurants sampled.

Do people feel hungrier after sampling a healthy snack? Researchers randomly assign volunteers into one of three groups. The people in the first group were asked to taste a snack that was billed as a new health bar containing high levels of protein, vitamins, and fiber. The people in the second group were asked to taste the same snack but there told it was a tasty chocolate bar with a raspberry center. After tasting the snack, participants were asked to rate their hunger on a scale from 1 (not at all hungy) to 7 (very hungry). The people in the third group were asked to rate their hunger but were not given a snack. Healthy Tasty No Snack 8 3 3 7 1 3 7 3 5 4 2 6 5 6 5 a. Perform a complete one-way ANOVA hypothesis test.
