Question
Now let us say we want to know where the source of this variance is coming from (which group(s) is/are the most different from others), so we decide to see if there is a difference in number of IG FOLLOWERS, JUST between Sophomore and Sr. So, test this new hypothesis: there is a difference in number of IG FOLLOWERS between Sophomore and Sr. What is the correct statistical test (specifically in Excel) that you should use to measure this hypothesis and is it 1 tail or 2 tail?

- The accompanying data table lists measures of self-esteem from a student project. The objective of the project was to study how levels of self-esteem in subjects relate to their perceptions of self-esteem in other target people who were described in writing. The test here works well even though the data are at the ordinal level of measurement. Use a 0.05 significance level and apply the methods of two-way analysis of variance. What is the conclusion? Click on the icon to view the data table. F = 5.48 (Round to two decimal places as needed.) What is the corresponding P-value of the test statistic, F, for this test? P-value = 0.006 (Round to three decimal places as needed.) State the conclusion of this test. Reject Ho. There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that measurems of self-esteem are not affected by an interaction between the subject's self-esteem and the target's self- esteem. There does appear to be an effect from an interaction between the self-esteem of…arrow_forwardWhat does less replicates mean in the context of understanding variance of data?arrow_forwardA sample of 25 freshmen at a major university completed a survey that measured their degree of racial prejudice (the higher the score, the greater the prejudice).

- One personality test available on the World Wide Web has a subsection designed to assess the "honesty" of the test-taker. After taking the test and seeing your score for this subsection, you're interested in the mean score, µ, among the general population on this subsection. The website reports that µ is 142, but you believe that u is less than 142. You decide to do a statistical test. You choose a random sample of people and have them take the personality test. You find that their mean score on the subsection is 135 and that the standard deviation of their scores is 28. Based on this information, answer the questions below. What are the null hypothesis (H) and the alternative hypothesis (H,) that should be used for the test? Ho: u is ? ? |H,: µ is ? H : ? In the context of this test, what is a Type II error?
