In order to calculate the standard error, you first need to calculate the pooled variance. The pooled variance is so = 111.5714 (M1 - M2) = The standard error is s The t statistic is You conclude that bully- different from The t statistic in the rejection region. Therefore, the null hypothesis is victims have a different mean depression score than bystanders. Thus, it can be said that these two means are one another. 3. The t test for two independent samples - Two-tailed example "Bullying," according to noted expert Dan Olweus, "poisons the educational environment and affects the learning of every child." Bullying and victimization are evident as early as preschool, with the problem peaking in middle school. Suppose you are interested in the emotional well-being of not only the victims but also bystanders, bullies, and those who bully but who are also victims (bully-victims). You decide to measure depression in a group of bully-victims and a group of bystanders using an 18-item, 5-point depression scale. Assume scores on the depression scale are normally distributed and that the variances of the depression scores are the same among bully-victims and bystanders. The group of 23 bully-victims scored an average of 40.1 with a sample standard deviation of 10 on the depression scale. The group of 28 bystanders scored an average of 46.8 with a sample standard deviation of 11 on the same scale. You do not have any presupposed assumptions about whether bully-victims or bystanders will be more depressed, so you formulate the null and alternative hypotheses as: Ho Hbully-victims Hbystanders H1 Hbully-victims Hbystanders # 0 0 You conduct an independent-measures t test. Given your null and alternative hypotheses, this is a two-tailed to find the rejection region, you first need to set the degrees of freedom. The degrees of freedom is 49 t Distribution Degrees of Freedom = 75 test. To use the Distributions tool
