Answer to Problem 16CAP

The mean difference for the difference scoresis –0.8.

The standard deviationfor the difference scores is 2.8.

The standard errorfor the difference scores is 1.3.

Explanation of Solution

Calculations:

From the Question 15, the calculated difference scores are –4, 1, –2, –2, and 3.

The formula for sample mean difference score is,MD=DnD.

The formula for sample standard deviation difference score is, sD=(DMD)2nD1.

The formula for sample standard errorof difference score is, sMD=sDnD.

Where D is difference in scores, and nD is the sample size.

Mean for the difference:

Substitute, the values for difference scores, –4, 1, –2, –2, 3 and nD=5 in mean for the difference scores formula.

MD=4+122+35=45=0.8

Thus, the mean for the difference scores is –0.8.

Standard deviation for the difference scores:

Substitute, the values for difference scores, –4, 1, –2, –2, 3 ,MD=0.8 and nD=5 in standard deviation for the difference scores formula.

sD=(4+0.8)2+(1+0.8)2+(2+0.8)2+(2+0.8)2+(3+0.8)251=10.24+3.24+1.44+1.44+14.444=30.84=7.7

=2.8

Thus, the standard deviation for the difference scores is 2.8.

Standard error for the difference scores:

Substitute, sD=2.8,nD=8 in standard error for the difference scores formula.

sMD=2.85=2.82.23=1.3

Thus, the standard error for the difference scores is 1.3.

The shape of the distribution of mean difference scores MD±sD is,

STAT. FOR BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES WEBASSIGN, Chapter 10, Problem 16CAP , additional homework tip  1

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

The value of MD is –0.8 and the value of sD is 2.8.

For 1 standard deviation:

MDsD=0.82.8=3.6

MD+sD=0.8+2.8=2.0

For two standard deviations:

MD2sD=0.8(2×2.8)=0.85.6=6.4

MD+2sD=0.8+(2×2.8)=0.8+5.6=4.8

For three standard deviations:

MD3sD=0.8(3×2.8)=0.88.4=9.2

MD+3sD=0.8+(3×2.8)=0.8+8.4=7.6

Thus, the standard deviation limits for the distribution are (3.6,2.0),(6.4,4.8) and (9.2,7.6).

Sketch of Graph:

Step by step procedure for sketching the graph:

  • The mean of the distribution is taken in the centre of the graph.
  • The one standard deviation limits are taken on either side of the mean.
  • The two standard deviations limits are taken on either side of one standard deviation limits.
  • The three standard deviations limits are taken on either side of two standard deviations limits.
  • Draw the graph.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

The value of MD is –0.8 and the value of sMD is 1.3.

For 1 standard deviation:

MDsMD=0.81.3=2.1

MD+sMD=0.8+1.3=0.5

For two standard deviations:

MD2sMD=0.8(2×1.3)=0.82.6=3.4

MD+2sMD=0.8+(2×1.3)=0.8+2.6=1.8

For three standard deviations:

MD3sMD=0.8(3×1.3)=0.83.9=4.7

MD+3sMD=0.8+(3×1.3)=0.8+3.9=3.1

Thus, the standard deviation limits for the distribution are (2.1,0.5),(3.4,1.8) and (4.7,3.1).

Sketch of Graph:

Step by step procedure for sketching the graph:

  • The mean of the distribution is taken in the centre of the graph.
  • The one standard deviation limits are taken on either side of the mean.

  • The three standard deviations limits are taken on either side of two standard deviations limits.
  • Draw the graph.
