This is a tough one. I suggest you use Lee Becker’s pooled variance program (use the hyperlink from a few slides back). Let’s say you have a study looking at the DV “Time to help”. Your IV is whether potential helpers did not see (condition #1) or saw (condition #2) someone else helping. The mean time to help for those in condition #1 was 58 seconds (variance was 2.81). The mean time to help for those in condition #2 was 55 seconds (variance was 3.06). First, tell me what Cohen’s d (pooled) is. Second, tell me if the effect size is meaningful in terms or magnitude!

Expert Solution

Cohen's d indicates the standardized difference between two means to measure the significance of an effect. (For example: Drug A has a higher rate of recovery for Covid-19 as compared to Drug B). The 'd' represents the standard deviation between the two groups.

The standard deviation (square root of the variance) would be:

Group 1: 1.67

Group 2: 1.89

To calculate the d, you subtract the mean of group 1 and group 2 and divide it by the average standard deviation of both groups.

The average SD (SD of group 1 + SD of group 2 / 2 ) is 1.78

58- 53/ 1.78 = 1.68

The size effect interpretations according to Cohen are:

small effect : 0 to .20

medium effect: .20 to .50

large effect: anything greater than .50

Going by this interpretation, the results from the illustration listed indicates a large effect. However, the statistical significance of it varies based on the size of your sample.

Consider the following statements concerning confidence interval estimates: A. The use of the pooled variance estimator when constructing a confidence interval for the difference between means requires the assumption that the population variances are equal. B. The width of a confidence interval estimate for the proportion, or for mean when the population standard deviation is known, is inversely proportional to the square root of the sample size. C. To determine the sample size required to achieve a desired precision in...

You should use a pooled t-test versus a non-pooled t-test when the samples are matched. the variance of the two populations are equal. the sample sizes of both groups are the same. None of these the samples are matched and the sample sizes of both groups are the same.

You are to write a program that grades students (Maybe I will use it on you). Your program must open and read in "input.txt" (an example of which is below). It will contain the students name and their test scores. You are to calculate the students final grade in the course. Take the average of their test scores and output their average to a file with the below format. For the output.txt ensure that the formatting is in the block...
