Follow along and write down your answers to the questions during the lab section. Then submit
this document under “Lab Bonus” portal
“Final Lab Bonus Points for Final Exam”. If in 8 am section, submit this document by 10:30 am, if in 2 pm section, submit this document by 4:30 pm. No need for detailed responses.
In this dataset, the first IV is: Music Condition
The levels of the first IV are: placebo (people don’t listen to music) and classical music (people listen to classical music)
The second IV is: The levels of the second IV are:
The first DV is: Math task performance
The second DV is: Reading task performance
Q1
Reported Sample Statistics
Reported Test Statistics
What type of analysis is shown above?
- This is a one-sample t-test
What is the hypothesis/ question tested?
- Is the math performance of the 50-participant sample significantly different than a test score of 35?
How would we report the results of this test?
- T-statistic: t
(49) = -3.93, p
<.001
What is the Confidence Interval around the mean difference telling you?
- That the math performance scores were significantly lower than the test value of 35 since the intervals didn’t contain 0 and were all negative.
What do we conclude from these statistical results?
- That the math performance scores of the 50-participant sample were significantly lower than the test value of 35.
Q2
Reported Sample Statistics
Reported Test Statistics
What type of analysis is shown above?
- Independent sample t-test
What is the hypothesis tested?
- Is the math task performance in the placebo condition significantly different than the math task performance in the classical music condition?
How would we report the results of this test?
- The results indicate that there is a significant difference between the placebo condition (
M
=25.04, SD
=7.786) and the classical music condition (
M
=34.76, SD
=7.854) in math task performance, [
t
(48) = -4.394, p
<.001). What is the Confidence Interval around the mean difference telling you?
The 95% confidence interval of the difference between means ranged from (-14.167 to -5.273) and indicates a significant difference between the means of the sample as there is no 0 between the intervals.
What do we conclude from these statistical results?
- Classical music group’s math task scores are significantly higher than the placebo group
Q3
What type of analysis is shown above?
- Pearson Correlation
What is the hypothesis tested?
- Is there a significant correlation between math task and reading task performance?
How would we report the results of this test?
-
r
= .42, p
= .002
What do we conclude from these statistical results?
- There is a significant positive correlation between math task performance and reading task performance.
