- Seven acute schizophrenics and 10 chronic schizophrenics have been measured on a clarity of thinking scale. The mean for the acute sample was 52, with s = 12, and the mean for the chronic sample was 44, with s = 11. Perform a pooled-variance t test with alpha = .05 (two-tailed), and state your statistical conclusion.arrow_forwardAll other conditions being equal, does a larger sample size increase or decrease the corresponding magnitude of the z or t value of the sample test statistic?arrow_forwardWhich statement best represents the logic of a one way analysis of variance which also called ANOVA which is also called the F test? A. Under the null, The population means are equal to each other, so any difference in sample means will register as significant difference B. Under the null, at least one mean is different from the others, so if this condition is met with the data, it will register as a significant difference C. Under the null, The means are assumed to be equal; as a result the between group variance will equal the within group variance ; if the calculated SSbetween is sufficiently larger than SSbetween this would suggest the between group variation is larger than within group variation and indicate there is a significant difference amount the means D. Under the null, the means are assumed to be equal, as a result, the within group variance will be larger than the between group variance and this will be revealed by a significant F, which would indicate that the…arrow_forward
- Gestation period is the length of pregnancy, or to be more precise, the interval between fertilization and birth. In Syrian hamsters, the average gestation period is 16 days. Suppose you have a sample of 31 Syrian hamsters who were exposed to high levels of the hormone progesterone when they were pups, and who have an average gestation length of 17.1 days and a sample variance of 26.0 days. You want to test the hypothesis that Syrian hamsters who were exposed to high levels of the hormone progesterone when they were pups have a different gestation length than all Syrian hamsters. Calculate the t statistic. To do this, you first need to calculate the estimated standard error. The estimated standard error is sMM= a. 31, b. 0.5232, c. 0.7328, d. 0.9158. The t statistic is- a. 1.50, b. 2.10, c. 2.63, d. 1.20 Now suppose you have a larger sample size n = 95.

- Suppose an education administrator wants to know whether the test scores of a new standardized graduation exam are different for males and females. To test this hypothesis, the administrator decides to perform a ?‑test for two independent means. She takes a random sample of test scores from both male and female populations. Some of the summary data are shown in the table. Population PopulationDescription Samplesize Samplemean (pts) Sample standard deviation (pts) 1 Female ?1=21 ?⎯⎯⎯1=34.3 ?1=3.09 2 Male ?2=22 ?⎯⎯⎯2=34.7 ?2=3.82 The administrator assumes that the population variances are equal, so she computes a pooled ?‑test statistic.
