If Elliot collects data from a single sample and her dependent variable is assessed on a nominal scale, which of these difference tests would Elliot need to use to analyze her data? A. a single-sample t test B. a single-sample z test C. a between-subjects ANOVA D. a chi-square goodness-of-fit test
Consider the following sample observations on stabilized viscosity of asphalt specimens. 2,762   2,907   3,012   2,813   2,876   Suppose that for a particular application, it is required that true average viscosity be 3,000. Does this requirement appear to have been satisfied? State the appropriate hypotheses. (Use ? = 0.05.) H0: ? > 3,000 Ha: ? < 3,000 H0: ? = 3,000 Ha: ? ≠ 3,000      H0: ? ≠ 3,000 Ha: ? = 3,000 H0: ? < 3,000 Ha: ? = 3,000 Calculate the test statistic and determine the P-value. (Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to three decimal places.) t  =    P-value  =    What can you conclude? Reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the true average is viscosity differs from 3000.Do not reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the true average is viscosity differs from 3000.    Reject the null hypothesis. There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that…

  • The following data are from a repeated-measures experiment comparing three different treatment conditions.   Participant Treatment A Treatment B Treatment C   A 0 1 2   B 2 5 5   C 1 2 6   D 5 4 9   E 2 8 8     TA= 10 TB= 20 TC= 30 G= 60   SSA= 14 SSB= 30 SSc= 30 SStotal=370   Conduct a repeated measures ANOVA with alpha =.05 to determine whether there are any difference between the means. Show work for all intermediary steps and include a source table for the ANOVA and calculate the partial η2 for the effect of treatment on scores. conduct any post hoc tests to determine mean differences (if the ANOVA is significant).     Set up a dataset on SPSS with data from the last problem. Calculate the ANOVA and partial η2 and report the F statistic in APA format:
    Consider the following: In general, when people diet they typically lose 10 lbs. (?σ = 2). A random sample of 16 people on the keto diet lost 15 lbs. Do people on the keto diet lose more or less weight than people on diets in general? 4. What is the research hypothesis? a) Weight loss in the keto diet sample does not differ from weight loss in the population of dieters in general (H1: X-bar = Mu)   b)Weight loss in the keto diet sample does differ from weight loss in the population of dieters in general (H1: X-bar = Mu)   c) Weight loss in the keto diet sample does not differ from weight loss in the population of dieters in general (H1: X-bar does not equal Mu)   d) Weight loss in the keto diet sample does differ from weight loss in the population of dieters in general (H1: X-bar does not equal Mu)
    In a comparison of two methods for the determination of chromium in rye grass, the following results were obtained: Method A, mean(mg/kg Cr)=1.48 Standard deviation(mg/kg Cr)=0.28 n= 6 Method B, mean (mg/kg Cr)=2.33 Standard deviation(mg/kg Cr)=0.31 n=10 Is the precision of these two methods significantly different? Do these two methods give results with means which differ significantly? a=0.05
  • In each of the following problems (a) state, the null and the alternative hypothesis (b) compute the test statistic, (c) determine the critical value and sketch the rejection region and the non-rejection region using the normal curve. 1. The cashier of a fast-food restaurant claims that the average amount spent by customers for dinner is Php120.00. A sample of 50 customers over a month was randomly selected, and it was found out that the average amount spent for dinner was Php122.50. Construct the critical regions using a 0.05 level of significance to conclude that the average amount spent by customers is more than Php120.00. Assume that the population standard deviation is Php6.50.
    Dr. Stevenson reported the following in a journal: “F (4, 106) = 10.09, p = .04.”  Should Dr. Stevenson state that there are significant differences among the variable means at a .01 alpha level?
    Penicillin is produced by the Penicillin fungus, which is grown in a broth whose sugar content must be carefully controlled. Several samples of broth were taken on three successive days, and the amount of dissolved sugars, in milligrams per milliliter, was measured on each sample. The results were as follows.
