Answer to Problem 32PR

For the measure opportunity to promote the null hypothesis is rejected.

For the measure high pay the null hypothesis is rejected.

For the measure pay according the null hypothesis is rejected.

Explanation of Solution

The given results reported that the study of psychological contract.

Decision rule based on the P-value:

  • If the p-value (α=0.05), the null hypothesis is rejected and the test is significant.
  • If the p-value >(α=0.05), the null hypothesis is retained and the test is not significant.

Conclusion for measure opportunity to promote:

The p-value for measure opportunity to promote is less than 0.001.

The level of significance is 0.05.

The p-value(<0.001)<α(=0.05)

The null hypothesis is rejected and the test is significant.

Conclusion for measure high pays:

The p-value for measure high pays is less than 0.001.

The level of significance is 0.05.

The p-value(<0.001)<α(=0.05)

The null hypothesis is rejected and the test is significant.

Conclusion for measure pays according to performance:

The p-value for measure pay according to performance is less than 0.001.

The level of significance is 0.05.

The p-value(<0.001)<α(=0.05)

The null hypothesis is rejected and the test is significant.

Hence, for all the three measures the null hypothesis is rejected.

Answer to Problem 32PR

The proportion of variance for measure opportunity to promote is 0.05 and effect size is small.

The proportion of variance for measure high pay is 0.10 and effect size is medium.

The proportion of variance for measure pay according to performance is 0.11 and effect size is medium.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

Omega-square:

The proportion of variance is also measured using omega-square. The bias that is caused by eta-square is corrected by omega-squared. The value of omega-square is conservation and give small estimate of proportion of variance. It is denoted by (ω2).

ω2=t21t2+df

In the formula, t is the value of test statistic and df is the corresponding degrees of freedom. Subtracting 1 in the numerator reduces the effect size.

The description of effect size using Omega-square:

  • If value of omega-squared is less than 0.01, then effect size is trivial.
  • If value of omega-squared is in between 0.01 and 0.09, then effect size is small.
  • If value of omega-squared is in between 0.10 and 0.25, then effect size is medium.
  • If value of omega-squared is greater than 0.25, then effect size is large.

The degrees of freedom for related samples design is, nD1, nD denotes number of the difference in the scores.

There are 255 employees in the sample. The degrees of the freedom is,

df=nD1=2551=254

Omega-square for opportunity to promote:

The value of test statistic for related t samples test is 3.65 and degrees of freedom is 254. The value of omega-square is,

ω2=t21t2+df=3.65213.652+254=13.3225113.3225+254

=12.3225267.3225=0.05

The value of omega square is 0.05. This value is lies between 0.01 and 0.09 and hence the effect size is small.

Omega-square for high pay:

The value of test statistic for related t samples test is 5.50 and degrees of freedom is 254. The value of omega -square is,

ω2=t21t2+df=5.50215.502+254=30.25130.25+254

=29.25284.25=0.10

The value of omega square is 0.10. This value is lies between 0.10 and 0.25 and hence the effect size is medium.

Omega-square for pay according to performance:

The value of test statistic for related t samples test is 5.61 and degrees of freedom is 254. The value of omega -square is,

ω2=t21t2+df=5.61215.612+254=31.4721131.4721+254

=30.4721285.4721=0.11

The value of omega square is 0.11. This value is lies between 0.10 and 0.25 and hence the effect size is medium.

In order to find probability, you can use this formula in Microsoft Excel: The best way to understand and solve these problems is by first drawing a bell curve and marking key points such as x, the mean, and the areas of interest. Once marked on the bell curve, figure out what calculations are needed to find the area of interest. =NORM.DIST(x, Mean, Standard Dev., TRUE). When the question mentions “greater than” you may have to subtract your answer from 1. When the question mentions “between (two values)”, you need to do separate calculation for both values and then subtract their results to get the answer. 1.  Compute the probability of a value between 44.0 and 55.0. (The question requires finding probability value between 44 and 55. Solve it in 3 steps. In the first step, use the above formula and x = 44, calculate probability value. In the second step repeat the first step with the only difference that x=55. In the third step, subtract the answer of the first part from the…
