Sign Test and Wilcoxon Signed-Ranks Test What is a major advantage of the Wilcoxon signed-ranks test over the sign test when analyzing data consisting of matched pairs?
Height and reading A researcher studies children in
elementary school and finds a strong positive linear asso-ciation between height and reading scores.
a) Does this mean that taller children are generally betterreaders?b) What might explain the strong correlation?
The principal of an elementary school wanted to see if there are differences in the abilities of first, second, and third graders to render a three-dimensional image into a two- dimensional drawing (as judged by trained coders). All students were attending the same school, and data were collected during the same semester.
What test I use?
-Independent samples t test
-ANOVA
-Paired samples t test
-Correlation

- Standardized test scores For his Statistics class experi-ment, researcher J. Gilbert decided to study how parents’ income affects children’s performance on standardizedtests like the SAT. He proposed to collect informationfrom a random sample of test takers and examine therelationship between parental income and SAT score.a) Is this an experiment? If not, what kind of study is it?b) If there is relationship between parental incomeand SAT score, why can’t we conclude that differencesin score are caused by differences in parentalincome?arrow_forwardA sleep researcher wanted to see if there are differences in the alertness level (as measured by the time to complete a word search) of people 10 minutes after waking depending on the method of waking them up.

Explain briefly why matched pairs procedure must be used to assess whether the combination of a hypocaloric diet and pre-meal water intake significantly lowers BMI.
