Question

THERE ARE FOUR PARTS TO THIS POST. PLEASE ANSWER ALL FOUR PLEASE!!! SS MEANS SUM SQUARED

1. An independent-samples experiment uses one sample with n = 10 and a second sample
with n = 15 to compare two experimental treatments. The t statistic from this experiment
will have degrees of freedom equal to ___________.

a) 23
b) 24
c) 25
d) cannot be determined with unequal sample sizes

2. An independent-samples research study with n = 6 participants in EACH treatment has
SS = 70 for Treatment 1 and SS = 50 for Treatment 2. For these data, the estimated
standard error for sample mean difference is ________.

a) 4

b) 12

c) 120

d) 2

3. A researcher conducts a study comparing two treatment conditions and obtains 20
scores in each treatment. If the researcher used a related samples/repeated-measures
design, then how many subjects participated in the research study?

a) 10

b) 20

c) 21

d) 40

4. Two separate samples, each with n = 4, are used to test the effects of two competing
sports drinks on athletic performance. What would be the critical value for this test if alpha
= .01 at two-tails?


a) ±3.143
b) ±2.998
c) ±3.707
d) ±2.580

Explanation / Answer

Solution:-

1) option a) 23

Explanation:- df = n1+n2-2 = 10+15-2 = 25-2 = 23

2) option d) 2

3) option b) 20

4) option c) ±3.707

Explanation: The following information is provided: the requested significance level is =0.01, for the two-tailed case. df = 8-2 = 6

The t-critical values for a two-tailed test, for a significance level of =0.01 are

tc=3.707 and tc=3.707
