Why are psychologists reluctant to use directional hypotheses and the corresponding one-tailed tests?5.

Using the five steps of hypothesis testing, describe how a group of psychologists would determine the effect of the12-week exercise program on the life satisfaction of a person whose score on a satisfaction with life scale after theprogram is 75. The population distribution of life satisfaction scores is normal with u = 50 and o = 10. Just forpractice, write both directional and nondirectional hypotheses and test each hypothesis at both the .05 and .01 levels.Using your decision about the null hypothesis based on the one-tailed test at the .05 significance level, explain yourresponse to someone who has not had a statistics course, but who is familiar with the mean, standard deviation, andZ scores.8. Now the psychologists want to determine the effect of the 12-week exercise program on the depression of a personwhose depression score after the program is 9. The population distribution of depression scores is normal with u=15 and o- 3. Using the five steps of hypothesis testing, describe how the psychologists would conduct the study.Just for practice, write both directional and nondirectional hypotheses and test each hypothesis at both the .05 and .0Ilevels. Using your decision about the null hypothesis based on the two-tailed test at the .05 significance level,explain your response to someone who has not had a statistics course, but who is familiar with the mean, standarddeviation, and Z scores.

Come up with an example of a scenario in which you could use hypothesis testing. What would you be studying, and what would be your hypothesis? What would be the wording of your research hypothesis and your null hypothesis? What would be your population 1 and population 2? In practical, real-world language, what would it mean if you found significant results from your hypothesis test? Would your hypothesis be one-tailed or two-tailed? Why? What about the way that your hypothesis is worded yields itself to a one-tailed or two-tailed test?
Surprisingly, a study found that children under stress reported fewer symptoms of depression and anxiety but scored higher on a Lie Scale (a measure of tendency to give socially desirable responses). The population mean for the Lie Scale for nonstressed children is 3.8. The sample of 24 children's scores are listed below. Test the hypothesis that children under stress are more likely to give socially desirable answers.

4. As part of the study described in Problem 6, investigators wanted to assess the accuracy of self-reported smoking status. Participants are asked whether they currently smoke or not. In addition, laboratory tests are performed on hair samples to determine presence or absence of nicotine. The laboratory assessment is considered the gold standard, or truth about nicotine consumption. The data are as follows: Nicotine Absent Nicotine Present Self- Reported nonsmoker 90 17 Self -reported smoker 10 50 What is the specificity of self-reported smoking status?A)1B)0.1C)0.84D)0.90
Sometimes the extent to which two groups differ is quite obvious. For example, if one group of individuals has a mean of 20 speeding tickets, while another group has a mean of 2, we can be pretty sure that the difference is statistically significant. But sometimes it is less clear. What if one group had a mean of 10, while the other had a mean of 7? T-tests provide a way to determine if differences between means are enough to be statistically significant. Freshmen and Seniors For this assignment, you will conduct a two-sample t-test to determine if college freshmen and seniors have a significantly different number of speeding tickets. Using the data provided below, conduct a two-sample t-test. Speeding Tickets for Freshmen and Seniors Freshmen Seniors 2 1 1 2 4 1 2 1 5 0 1 2 0 1 2 0 4 1 2 2 Then, create a summary of 1-2 paragraphs in which you address the following: Present the result of the two-sample t-test.…

A manager wants to see if geographical region (Cape Town, Durban and Gauteng) is related with ownership of a tablet (“Have a tablet” and “No tablet”). If the Chi-square test statistics = 0.412, what conclusion is most appropriate? A. Since Chi-square test statistics > Chi-square critical value, do not reject H0 B. Since Chi-square test statistics < Chi-square critical value, do not reject H0 C. Since Chi-square test statistics > Chi-square critical value, Reject H0 D. Since Chi-square test statistics < Chi-square critical value, Reject H0
Identify the appropriate hypothesis test for each of the following research situations. A researcher conducts a between-subjects study to determine whether there is a significant difference in problem-solving ability between older adults who are generally happy and those who are generally unhappy. A researcher gives a questionnaire to a group of 30-year-old married adults, including questions to measure the stability of their own marriages and the stability of their parents’ marriages. The researcher would like to know whether the two variables are related. A researcher obtains a sample of 100 college students between 18 and 21 years old and a similar sample of 100 young adults who have no college experience. The researcher would like to know if there is a difference in the proportion of registered voters for the two groups.
PROBLEM 3 – PERCEIVED COMPANY REPUTATION Situation: Does the perceived reputation of a company depend on the perceived quality of management? The Wall Street Journal conducts an annual Perceptions Study where it surveys readers and asks how each selected reader rates the reputation of the company and quality of management for over 200 global organizations. Both variables were rated on a categorical scale where the levels were excellent, good and fair. Action: Use the Chi-square Test of Independence, a = .01, and the following contingency table to determine whether the reputation of a company depends on the perceived quality of management. Show the steps of hypothesis testing relevant to this problem and its type of test statistic and make a decision. Explain what that decision means.
