You want to find the independent and dependent variables taken from a sample of 30 dropouts. You measure the number of delinquent offenses they committed in the year before and the year after they dropped out.
What type of t test should be used when analyzing the data and why?
Would a one-tail or two-tailed test be appropriate and why?
Homework Answers
A] Since here we are comparing same data before and after. So these data are paired. Therefore for testing such data we will be used paired t test..
B] One tailed test would be appropriate because here we are measuring the number of delinquent offenses they committed in the year before and the year after they dropped out. so one tailed test will be used.

A criminologist interested in teen age marijuana use conducted surveys of students from two different high schools. At one school the mean number of times the students have smoked marijuana is 9.8 times in the past 6 months. At the other school the mean number of times students reported smoking marijuana in the past 6 months is 4.6. The researcher wants to know if there is a statistically significant difference between the two schools in marijuana smoking by students. (a)...

Explain when you would you use a dependent samples t-Test rather than an independent sample t-Test? What are the benefits and problems with each design? Be specific! Using similar IVs and DVs, design a study that uses a dependent samples t-Test design and a study that uses an independent samples t-Test (base them on the same general topic – this can be any topic, not just the “how fast” topic)). Make sure to note your independent and dependent variables for...

A random sample of size 12 is taken from a population, and for each individual in the sample measurements on two variables (X and Y) are obtained. The sample correlation of X and Y is calculated to be r2=0.549081. Carry out a hypothesis test on H0:ρ=0against HA:ρ≠0. If the null hypothesis is true, then the test statistic will follow a t distribution with what degrees of freedom? Number Calculate the value of the test statistic t using the appropriate formula....

What is the scenario when performing an independent Sample t Test is required? Assume that a researcher interested in growth spurts among young teens decided to measure the height difference between boys and girls in middle school from a random sample of 200 boys and girls. In this study, what are the two variables of interest and which of the two variables is dependent variable and the other is the dependent variables? In the above scenario, state the null and...

A sample of size 100, taken from a population whose standard deviation is known to be 8.90, has a sample mean of 51.16. Suppose that we have adopted the null hypothesis that the actual population mean is greater than or equal to 52, that is, H0 is that μ ≥ 52 and we want to test the alternative hypothesis, H1, that μ < 52, with level of significance α = 0.05. a) What type of test would be appropriate in...
