¶ … CUNE graduate students as intelligent, not as intelligent or more intelligent than graduate students at ABC University?
What is the sample for this study? Cune grad students and ABC grad students
What is the independent variable? (Think about this one carefully!) Education
What are the two levels of the independent variable? 1st level -- Cune; 2nd level -- ABC
What is the dependent variable? Intelligence
How could the DV be measured? Test scores
What is the null hypothesis for this study? The type of education one receives does not impact one's intelligence.
State a directional research hypothesis for this study. Cune graduate students will not have higher intelligence scores than ABC grad students.
QUESTION 6
State a nondirectional research hypothesis for this study. There will be no statistically significant difference between Cune graduate mean test scores and those of ABC grad students.
QUESTION 7
We have set alpha at .05. What does this mean? (Hint - refer to notes for Chapter 13). If the result of statistical analysis is greater than alpha, the findings are not statistically significant. If they are less, then they are statistically significant.
QUESTION 8
1. Once data has been collected for the DV:
1. What is the first descriptive statistic that must be completed in order to complete the inferential test? The mean must be found.
QUESTION 9
1. 1....
Once the test in #1 is completed what do we compare the results to in order to determine if the difference is statistically significant? NOTE: they important point of this question is "to determine if the difference is statistically significant." Compare it to alpha.o5
QUESTION 10
1. If our statistical analysis shows us that there IS a statistically significant difference between the two groups then:
1. What is the relationship between p and alpha? p < alpha
2. We ____reject___ the null hypothesis.
3. We ___accept____ the research hypothesis.
QUESTION 11
1. If our statistical analysis shows us that there is not a statistically significant difference between the two groups then:
1. What is the relationship between p and alpha? p > alpha
2. We ___accept____ the null hypothesis.
3. We ___reject____ the research hypothesis
QUESTION 12
1. We have completed our statistical analysis and have made a Type I error.
1. In terms of our null hypothesis, what this mean? You must state what we did with the null hypothesis and whether the hypothesis was actually true or false. The null hypothesis said that the type of education one receives does not impact intelligence. With a Type 1 error you reject a null hypothesis that is actually true.
2. In terms of our research question, what does this mean? Note:…
-Provide an example of a hypothesis where a one-tailed hypothesis test would be used. An example of a one-tailed test is testing the claim that the mean score of the gender male is higher than the scores of the gender female in public institutions. -Provide an example of a hypothesis where a two-tailed hypothesis test would be used. An example in this case is testing the claim that the mean scores between the gender male
Ultra violet light affects many people, and several experiments may be done to either support or disapprove the hypothesis. Approval of the hypothesis forms a theory that people who are highly exposed to ultra violet light have higher chances of getting skin cancer. Theories on some scientific approach may serve as sources for theories. Observation of people's behavior may lead to development of hypothesis. This includes looking at how
Unit 3 Question What types of research question(s) can best be addressed through the use of case studies? What are the advantages and disadvantages of the case study approach? The case study approach is favored in many research studies in the social sciences, particularly sociology and anthropology. Case studies are useful in examining questions about a particular social group, and also explain phenomena with multiple causes, such as 'juvenile delinquency.' Finding ways to
Second, the researcher's intense exposure to study of a case can bias the findings (the case study as a research method); at the least, there are significant opportunities for subjectivity in the implementation, presentation, and evaluation of case study research (Case studies). This high degree of subjectivity opens the door for ethical issues, particularly if the study is being sponsored by a special interest. Third, case studies involve too
The ultimate goal is to increase student achievement by improving the hiring process by adding another layer of screening, namely teacher efficacy. The following aims will support the ability to achieve these goals. Aim 1: To evaluate the association between full and part time faculty regarding the characteristic of teacher efficacy. Hypothesis One: Part-time teachers sampled will report statistically lower teacher efficacy scores than will sampled full time faculty in business
older patients over the age of 80 due to complications in health such as dementia and depressive symptoms, do not go for additional follow-ups. Yes, the authors explain repeated in person visits help better identify risk factors. There is no obvious research question however they do highlight the use of a study to confirm the hypothesis of whether or not repeated in person follow-ups help with problems experienced as
