Question

Case Study 14-2

A health educator wants to evaluate the effect of a dental film on the frequency with which children brush their teeth. A random selection of 8 children are used for the experiment. First, a baseline of the number of times the children brush their teeth over a month's period is established. Next, the children are shown the dental film and again the number of teeth brushings are recorded for a month. The following data are recorded.

18. Refer to Case Study 14-2. Using α = 0.052 tail, what do you conclude?

a.

retain H0; the film has no effect on the frequency of tooth brushing

b.

reject H0; the film affects the frequency of tooth brushing

c.

accept H0; the film has no effect on the frequency of tooth brushing

d.

reject H0; chance alone is a reasonable explanation of the data

 

 

19. (3 points) Calculate an effect size measure for Cohen’s d for the data in Case Study 14-2.

Use the standard deviation from the baseline measure for your calculations.

 

  • In this equation the numerator is the difference between two population means while the denominator can be the sd of either population
  • Cohen’s d= µ1- µ 2
  •                               σ
