Question

In an experiment, 10 participants were given a test of mental performance in stressful situations. Their scores were 2, 2, 4, 1, 4, 3, 0, 2, 7, and 5. Ten other participants were given the same test after they had been trained in stress-reducing techniques. Their scores were 4, 4, 6, 0, 6, 5, 2, 3, 6, and 4. Do the appropriate t-test to determine if the group that had been trained had different mental performance scores than the group that had not been trained in stress reduction techniques. What do these results mean?

Hint: Begin by entering all of the scores in PSPP and assigning your experimental group and control group!

What is the control group standard deviation? (report to 2 decimal places, so x.xx)

What was the T-score? Make sure you give any sign indicators necessary and report to 2 decimal places (so, x.xx or -x.xx).

What was the t score? Make sure you give any sign indicators necessary and report to 2 decimal places (so, x.xx or -x.xx).

What is the experimental group standard deviation? (report to 2 decimal places, so x.xx)

What is the significance value? Report to 3 decimal places (so .xxx)

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 + ...
