Paired-samples t test and graduate admissions: Is it harder to get into graduate programs in psychology or in history? We randomly selected five institutions from among all U.S. institutions with graduate programs. The first number for each is the minimum grade point average (GPA) for applicants to the psychology doctoral program, and the second is for applicants to the history doctoral program. These GPAs were posted on the Web site of the well-known college guide company Peterson’s. Wayne State University: 3.0, 2.75 University of Iowa: 3.0, 3.0 University of Nevada, Reno: 3.0, 2.75 George Washington University: 3.0, 3.0 University of Wyoming: 3.0, 3.0

The participants are not people; explain why it is appropriate to use a paired-samples t test for this situation.

Conduct all six steps of a paired-samples t test. Be sure to label all six steps.

Calculate the effect size and explain what this adds to your analysis.

Report the statistics as you would in a journal article.

Expert Solution

Name of institution	Psychology	History	Difference=Psychology-History
Wayne State University	3	2.75	0.25
University of Iowa	3	3	0
University of Nevada, Reno	3	2.75	0.25
George Washington University	3	3	0
University of Wyoming	3	3	0
		Mean=	0.1
		SD=s=	0.1369

Step 1:

Step 5: There is insufficient evidence to conclude that there is significant difference between minimum GPA scores of Psychology and History. Hence it is almost same to get into graduate programs in psychology or in history.

In excell t-Test Assuming Equal Variances t-Test With Paired Two Samples for Means Analysis of Variance Correlation Coefficient Simple Regression Skills and self-esteem are believed to influence job performance. To investigate this, an experimenter split 14 recent parolees into "high skill and self-esteem" and "low skill and self-esteem" groups. Three months later, employers were asked to rate each parolee’s job performance on a standard test that gives ratings from 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest. The following ratings...
