Question
Enter the data below into SPSS. It is from a sensory deprivation study looking at hearing threshold before or after one hour in a sensory deprivation chamber. Seven subjects participated in both before and after conditions in the actual study. Test the hypothesis that hearing should be more sensitive (thus lower numbers) after sensory deprivation compared with before.
BEFORE: 11, 34, 18, 33, 35, 22, 35 AFTER: 13, 31, 18, 29, 32, 20, 28
Proper type of t-test to use:
Is the hypothesis one-tailed or two-tailed?
What is the null hypothesis?

- A physical therapist wanted to know whether the mean step pulse of men was less than the mean step pulse of women. She randomly selected 54 men and 75 women to participate in the study.

Let X = the number of sick days they took for the past year. Should the personnel team believe that the mean number is about 10? Conduct a hypothesis test at the 5% level.

For his study, he selects a random sample of 36 adults. The subjects complete a series of working memory tests before and after walking in an urban setting. Before the walk, the mean score on the test of working memory was 9.1. After the walk, the mean score was 1.4 higher. The graduate student has no presupposed assumptions about how viewing different types of scenes affects working memory, so he formulates the null and alternative hypotheses as: H00 : μDD = 0 H11 : μDD ≠ 0 Assume that the data satisfy all of the required assumptions for a repeated-measures t test. The graduate student calculates the following statistics for his hypothesis test: Mean difference (MDD) 1.4 Estimated population standard deviation of the differences (s) 1.6 Estimated standard error of the mean differences (sMDMD) 0.2667 Degrees of freedom (df) 35 The t statistic 5.25 The critical values of t…arrow_forwardWhich of these scenarios means that a pretest-posttest design with a non-equivalent control group is not suitable?

- A study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of hypnotism in reducing pain. Results for randomly selected subjects are given below. The values are before and after hypnosis; the measurements are in centimeters on a pain scale (higher measurements mean more pain).
