Analyze the data from Part 1 using Microsoft^® Excel^® software.

Write a 700- to 875-word paper that includes the following information:

Describe what method you are using to compare groups.
Copy and paste the output into a Microsoft^® Word document, and also answer the following questions:
- What is the significance level of the comparison?
- What was the alpha level you identified in Week 3?
- What was the means and variance for each variable?
- What was the test statistic?
- What was the critical value for both the one- and two-tailed test?
- Was your test one-tailed or two-tailed?
- Were you able to reject the null hypothesis? In other words, did you prove there was a difference?

Talk about what these results mean in everyday language and in context to your chosen scenario.
Make a recommendation based on the findings.

Format your paper according to APA guidelines.

Part 1
Select one of the following scenarios based on your particular field of interest in psycholoagy:
Industrial/Organizational Psychology:
A few months ago, the upper management at a large corporation decided they wanted to make
major changes in the organization. Leadership is concerned that employees may be resistant to
the change, and they want to find out if there is a change management method that would help
employees sccept change more effectively and keep employee satisfaction high. Two methods
they have considered are the ADKAR Framework and the Prosci Change Management
Methodology. The company wants to implement s small change in two departments before they
make any major organization changes and would like to test the methods. The corporation uses
the Devine Company to measure employee satisfaction with an anonymous sunvey.
Applied Psychology:
A large medical facility is experiencing too many missed appointments in its primary and specialty
care clinics. The facility has noticed that not all patients respond well to reminder calls regarding
follow-up appointments. Some patients do not answer calls and do not seem to respond to voice
mail requesting they call the facility. The result is that many follow-up appointments are missed.
Facility management have read articles that indicate people respond very well to text messages
and would like to see which method provides the least amount of missed appointments. Missed
appointments are tracked in the facility dstabase on a monthly basis.
General Psychology:
Clinicians at a small clinic have been introduced to a new method to treat post-traumatic stress
disorder (PTSD) in their clients for veterans. Research indicates that virtual reality (VR) is a highly
effective treatment option for patients with PTSD. Currently, the clinic uses only cognitive
processing therapy (CPT) with their patients suffering from PTSD. The clinicians would like to find
out whether VR therapy has different results from CPT therapy. The measure used by the clinic to
measure PTSD symptoms is the Combat Exposure Scale. Both therapies need to be applied for a
minimum of 12 weeks to be effectiive.
Write a 525- to 750-word paper that addresses the following for your chosen scenario.
Clearly define the problem or issue you are addressing. Provide a brief background of any research
you have found that might affect your research hypothesis.
Create a research hypothesis based on the information provided in each scenario. You have been
given a data set (Microsoft" Excel" document) with two sets of interval data (just the numbers, as you
must decide what they represent, such as method A results or method B results). This mesns yoU are
going to test one thing against another, such as which method works best (step 1 of the steps to
hypothesis testing). State the null and research hypotheses. Explain whether these hypotheses
require a one-tailed test or two-tailed test, and explain your rationale.

data set Explain what type of sampling you selected,

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
