1a. One sample of n1 = 14 individuals (group 1) receive a drug therapy intervention for anxiety. The sum of the squared deviations for the anxiety scores of group 1 was SS1 = 180. Another group (group 2) of n2 = 11 individuals received a pet therapy treatment for anxiety and the sum of the squared deviations for their group SS2 = 120. a. What is the pooled variance (S2 pooled ) of these two samples? and What is the...
A study was designed to compare the attitudes of two groups of nursing students towards computers. Group 1 had previously taken a statistical methods course that involved significant computer interaction. Group 2 had taken a statistic methods course that did not use computers. The students' attitudes were measured by administering the Computer Anxiety Rating Scale (CARS). A random sample of 15 nursing students from Group 1 resulted in a mean score of 41.5 with a standard deviation of 4.2. A...
You want to find the standard deviation of the internal body temperatures of a group of healthy adults. Here are the temperatures, in degrees Fahrenheit: 99.2 98.9 98.2 97.3 98.9 98.4 97.2 99.1 Find the mean of this data set: Answer? Now, use the mean to find the deviation for each score. The deviation is the score minus the mean. Data Value Deviation = Data Value - Mean 99.2 Answer? 98.9 Answer? 98.2 Answer? 97.3 Answer? 98.9 Answer? 98.4 Answer?...

You are testing the claim that the mean GPA of night students is different from the mean GPA of day students. You sample 30 night students, and the sample mean GPA is 2.35 with a standard deviation of 0.46. You sample 25 day students, and the sample mean GPA is 2.58 with a standard deviation of 0.47. Test the claim using a 5% level of significance. Assume the sample standard deviations are unequal and that GPAS are normally distributed. Give...
