Discussion 4
Post a null hypothesis that would use a t test statistical analysis.. Use the same hypothetical situation taken in the t test hypothesis, and t urn it into a null hypothesis using a one-way ANOVA analysis and a two-way ANOVA.
Argosy University – PSY210 module 4 assignment 2 Analyzing with ANOVA
The table depicts a two-way ANOVA in which gender has two groups (male and female), marital status has three groups (married, single never married, divorced), and the means refer to happiness scores (n = 100):
What are the independent variables and their levels? What is the dependent variable?
State all null hypotheses associated with independent variables and their interaction? Also suggest alternate hypotheses?
What are the degrees of freedom for 1) gender, 2) marital status, 3) interaction between gender and marital status, and 4) error or within variance?
Calculate the mean square for 1) gender, 2) marital status, 3) interaction between gender and marital status, and 4) error or within variance.
Calculate the F ratio for 1) gender, 2) marital status, and 3) interaction between gender and marital status.
Identify the critical Fs at alpha = .05 for 1) gender, 2) marital status, and 3) interaction between gender and marital status.
If alpha is set at .05, what conclusions can you make.
Discussion 5
Post a behavioral research situation that could use a Pearson coefficient research study and a chi square research study. Present the rationale for each selection. Be very specific in your presentation.
Assignment 5
A study wants to examine the relationship between student anxiety for an exam and the number of hours studied. The data is as follows:
Student Anxiety Scores
Study Hours
5
1
10
6
5
2
11
8
12

Why is a correlation the most appropriate statistic?
What is the null and alternate hypothesis?
What is the correlation between student anxiety scores and number of study hours? Select alpha and interpret your findings. Make sure to note whether it is significant or not and what the effect size is.
How would you interpret this?
What is the probability of a type I error? What does this mean?
How would you use this same information but set it up in a way that allows you to conduct a t-test? An ANOVA?
