After the treatment is administered to the individuals in the sample, the sample mean is found to be M =16-+a a. If the sample consists of » = 4 individuals, is this result sufficient to conclude that there is a significant treatment effect? Use a two-tailed test with a = 0.05 b. If the sample consists of » = 36 individuals, is this result sufficient to conclude that there is a significant treatment effect? Use a two-tailed test with a = 0.05, ¢. Compute Cohen’s d to measure effect size for both tests n = J and n = 36 d. Briefly describe how sample size influences the outcome of the hypothesis test. How does sample size influence the measure of effect size: 2.(2 mark) Suppose a to be the last digit of your birthday Last fall, a sample of 1» = 36 freshmen was selected to participate in a new 4-hour training program designed to improve study skills. To evaluate the effectiveness of the new program, the sample was compared with the rest of the freshmen class. Alll freshmen must take the same English Language Skills course, and the mean score on the final exam for the entire freshmen was jr = 74-+a/2. The students in the new program has a mean score of M/ = 794-+a/2 with a standard deviation of s = 18, a. On the basis of these data, can the college conclude that the students in the new program performed significantly better than the rest of the freshmen class? Use one-tailed test with a = .05. gzb. Can the college conclude that the students in the new program are significantly different from the rest of the freshmen class? Use a two-tailed test with a=.05, 3.(2 mark) Suppose s to be the last digit of your birthday Removing the individual differences can substantially reduce variance and lower the standard error. However, this benefit only occurs if the individual differences are consistent across treatment conditions. Similarly , the last two participants. consistently had the lowest scores in both treatments. To construct the following, data, we started with data and eliminated the consistency of the individual differences. For example, the first participant now has the lowest score in treatment | but the highest score in treatment 2. a. Assume that the data are from an independent measures study using two separate samples, each with n = 6 participants, Compute the pooled variance and the estimated standard error and the estimated standard error for the mean difference. b. Now assume that the data are from a repeated-measures study using the ame sample of n = 6 participants in both treatments conditions. Compute the variance for the sample of difference scores and the estimated standard error for the mean difference. (This time you should find that removing the individual differences does not reduce the variance or the standard error.) ‘Treatment 1 Treatment 2 Difference 5 B 8 7 12 5 8 10 2 6 10 4 12 6 6 10 9 ‘1 M M=10 Mp =2 SS = 34 SS = 30 SS= 120 4. (2 mark) Suppose s to be the last digit of your birthday Recent research indicates that the effectiveness of anti-depressant medication is directly related to the severity of the depression (Khan, Brodhead, Kolts, and Brown, 2005). Based on pre-treatment depression scores, patients were divided into four groups based on their level of depression. After receiving the antidepression medication, depression scores were measured again and the amount of improvement was recorded for each persion. The following data are similar to the results of the study.High — Moderately Moderate Severe _ Severe a. Complete the places marking by ... and answer the question whether the data indicate significant difference among the four levels of severity? Test with a = 0.05. b. Compute 7, the percentage of variance expressed by group difference 5. (2.8mark) Suppose a to be the last digit of your birthday The problem is to examine the relationship between political altitudes for husbands and wives for a sample of » = 8 + a married couples. ‘The wives had a mean score M = 7 with $ ‘The husbands had a mean score of Af = 9 with SS = 106, and SP = 122. a. Find the regression equation for predicting a husband's political altitude from his wife’s score. (Identify the wives’ scores as X values and the husbands’ cores as ¥’ values.) b, What is the percentage of the variance in the husbands’ scores is accounted for by the regression equation? (Compute the correlation r then r?.) ¢. Does the regression equation account for a significant portion of the variance in the husbands’ score? Use a = 0.05 for evaluate F-ratio ‘The End
