What are the independent and dependent variables for the following examples? What statistical test would you use for each of the following scenarios? What would you set your alpha-level at? Sally wants to examine whether there is a difference in muscular strength between participants who engaged in an 8-week resistance training program and participants who engaged in an 8-week endurance training program. The participants only took part in one of the 8-week programs, not both. What test would she use to determine whether the differences in muscular strength are significant? Why?
For each of the following research scenarios, indicate which type of t-test: one-sample, independent, or dependent is appropriate for the research scenario described. Give reason(s) as to why that type of t-test (one-sample, independent, or dependent) is appropriate for the research scenario.  a. Dr. Lofgren was interested in the effects of stress on the ability to concentrate. He randomly assigned 20 participants to complete a lab-based stress task to induce stress and another 20 participants to a control condition where they spent time in the lab but didn’t experience stress induction. Both groups then completed a task requiring deep concentration to complete; the time it took to complete the task was recorded, with quicker completion times reflecting better ability to concentrate. Dr. Lofgren hypothesized that participants in the stress condition would have a poorer ability to concentrate (i.e., slower completion times).  b. An all-women's college is interested in whether more of…
For each of the following three studies   Identify whether the hypothesis can be tested experimentally or if it is a non-experimental hypothesis. What is the independent variable/grouping variable (and which is it, IV or GV)? What is the dependent variable? ***Be sure you use the correct label (H0 or H1/Ha) for your statistical hypotheses. Also, if make sure I know what the groups are (in other words, if you use m1 in your statistical hypothesis, make sure we know which group m1 is in the study design. Or use something other than numbers to let me know which mean is for which group.). 1. In a study of how well people can detect lying, male and female participants will try to detect deception in films of females talking to their friends, some of whom are lying.
