Question

Practice Exercise 24: Determining the Appropriate Analysis

For each of the following scenarios, identify the appropriate analysis.  

1. The question is whether verbal reinforcement affects response rates. Subjects in Group 1 were verbally reinforced every time they respond to the instructor’s questions. Subjects in Group 2 were not. After 2 weeks, the two groups were compared by gauging the number of students who raised their hand when questions were asked. The following data were collected.

Group 1: 13, 15, 12, 17, 14, 14,

Group 2: 10, 12, 12, 11, 13, 9

2. Assume that an educator wants to know how closely time spent doing homework is related to student grades. Data was collected from 8 students. Time spent on homework is reported in the number of hours completed per night, and grades are reported on a 4-point scale. The following data were collected.

3. Three groups of students involved in the same curriculum are obliged to study for 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 90 minutes a night for 8 weeks before taking a mathematics test. Scores from 5 students in each group were randomly selected to determine if there was a difference among the three time groups. Their scores are as follows:

15 minutes: 43, 39, 55, 56, 73

30 minutes: 55, 58, 66, 79, 82

90 minutes: 61, 66, 85, 86, 91

4. An administrator is interested in determining if the type of reading curriculum students receive is related to whether they meet reading standards for their grade. The following data were collected.

Student Homework Grades 1 .25 2.00 2 .50 1.75 3 .75 2.00 4 1.00 2.50 5 1.00 2.00 6 1.25 2.25 7 1.50 2.00 8 2.00 3.60

Explanation / Answer

Q 1. Ans: Two sample t-test.

Two-Sample T-Test and CI: Group 1, Group 2

Two-sample T for Group 1 vs Group 2

N Mean StDev SE Mean
Group 1 6 14.17 1.72 0.70
Group 2 6 11.17 1.47 0.60


Difference = mu (Group 1) - mu (Group 2)
Estimate for difference: 3.000
95% CI for difference: (0.908, 5.092)
T-Test of difference = 0 (vs not =): T-Value = 3.24 P-Value = 0.010 DF = 9

The estimated p-value is 0.01. hence, we can not accept the null hypothesis and conclude that there is significant affects of verbal reinforcement response rates at o.05 level of significance.

Q 2. Ans: The analysis will do by simple regression analysis

Regression Analysis: Grades versus Homework

The regression equation is
Grades = 1.45 + 0.790 Homework


Predictor Coef SE Coef T P
Constant 1.4478 0.3233 4.48 0.004
Homework 0.7900 0.2798 2.82 0.030


S = 0.413023 R-Sq = 57.1% R-Sq(adj) = 49.9%


Analysis of Variance

Source DF SS MS F P
Regression 1 1.3602 1.3602 7.97 0.030
Residual Error 6 1.0235 0.1706
Total 7 2.3837

The estimated p-value of Homework coefficient is 0.030. Hence, we can not accept the null hypothesis and conclude that homework has a significant association with the grade of the student at 0.05 level of significance.

Q 3. Ans: One-way Analysis of variance that is One way ANOVA test will apply to this question.

One-way ANOVA: Y versus Time

Source DF SS MS F P
Time 2 1534 767 4.57 0.033
Error 12 2014 168
Total 14 3547

S = 12.95 R-Sq = 43.24% R-Sq(adj) = 33.78%

Conclusion: The estimated p-value is 0.033. Hence we can conclude that at least two-time groups have different mathematics score at 0.05 level of significance.

Q 4 Ans: This question will solve by Chi-square test for independence.
