Suppose that a sample of n = 12 pairs of X and Y scores has SSY = 90 and a Pearson correlation of r = +0.40. Does the regression equation predict a significant portion of the variance? Test with α = .05.(hint: SStotal = SSY; r2 = SSregression/SSTotal)
Researchers conducted a study to determine whether magnets are effective in treating back pain. The results are shown for the treatment (with magnets) group and the sham (or placebo) group.
Treatment with sample size of 42 and mean of 0.69 and standard deviation of 0.25
Sham with sample size of 44 and mean of 0.75 and standard deviation of 0.44
The results are a measure of reduction in back pain. Assume that the two samples are independent simple random samples selected from normally distributed populations, and do not assume that the population standard deviations are equal. Test the claim that the treatment mean measure of reduction in back pain is greater than the sham mean measure of reduction in back pain. Use the Critical Value Method.
