For each of the following studies Identify whether the hypothesis can be tested experimentally or if it is a non-experimental hypothesis. What is the independent variable/grouping variable (and which is it, IV or GV)? What is the dependent variable? Identify the null hypothesis, both in your own words and by writing the statistical hypothesis using the population parameter notation discussed in class. What is the non-directional alternate hypothesis? Write it both in your own words and the statistical parameter notation discussed in class. (Make sure these both specify the same direction.) Make your best guess about a directional alternative hypothesis – that is, what you would expect to happen in this study. Write it in your own words and using the statistical parameter notation discussed in class.

  • What is the independent variable/grouping variable (and which is it, IV or GV)?
  • What is the dependent variable?
  • Identify the null hypothesis, both in your own words and by writing the statistical hypothesis using the population parameter notation discussed in class.
  • What is the non-directional alternate hypothesis? Write it both in your own words and the statistical parameter notation discussed in class. (Make sure these both specify the same direction.)
  • Make your best guess about a directional alternative hypothesis – that is, what you would expect to happen in this study. Write it in your own words and using the statistical parameter notation discussed in class.

 

***Be sure you use the correct label (H0 or H1/Ha) for your statistical hypotheses. Also, if make sure I know what the groups are (in other words, if you use m1 in your statistical hypothesis, make sure we know which group m1 is in the study design. Or use something other than numbers to let me know which mean is for which group.).
