Paired-/Related Samples T-test

Use it to test whether there is a difference between the two conditions(note: conditions must be RELATED-participants provide in each condition).

You are interested in the relationship satisfaction of young adults before and after they go off to college/university, which separates them from their sweetheart. You asked four couples to rate the satisfaction of their relationship (on a scale of 0-50) before leaving for school and then again after a semester. Here are the data:

Pair Before After

1 40 32

2 38 31

3 36 30

4 42 31

1. State the null and alternative hypotheses as well as your criterion:

2 .State your assumptions

3. Calculate difference scores, the sum of difference scores and the sum of difference scores squared:

4. Calculate t

5. Figure out your degrees of freedom and use this to find the critical t value

6. Reject or fail-to-reject the null hypothesis and state your conclusions.

Expert Solution

Let difference d =before -after

(1)

(2)

Assumption: Since sample size is very small so it must be assumed that data is normally distributed.

(3)

Following table shows the calculations:

Before	After	d	(d-mean)^2
40	32	8	0
38	31	7	1
36	30	6	4
42	31	11	9
Total		32	14

What is the difference between a t-test for 2 independent samples vs. a paired t-test? Give an example of when a Chi-squared test would be used. How would you find the degrees of freedom (df) for one of these tests?

1. Identify which test the scenario will use: independent samples t test, paired samples t test, chi square test for goodness of fit, chi square test for independence or chi square test for homogeneity. A. A researcher goes to the parking lot at a large grocery chain and observes whether each person is male or female and whether they return the cart to the correct spot before Chi leaving (yes or no). B. Amber Sanchez, a statistics student, collected data...

We use a paired-samples t test when we have two samples, and the same participants are in both samples; to conduct the test, we calculate a difference score for every individual in the study. Discuss what areas in psychology would benefit from using a paired-sample t test to better understand that phenomena. For example, when measuring intelligence, we could develop an intervention to help improve intelligence, and the compare before and after scores for each participant. I asked this question...

For the following, indicate whether you should use a one sample t-test, paired t-test, or two sample t-test and whether you have chosen a one-sided or two-sided alternate hypothesis: A) Do macroeconomics students at Vanderbilt score significantly higher on the Math SAT than the national average? My Answer: One sample t-test, one tailed B) Do macroeconomics students at Vanderbilt score significantly higher on the Verbal SAT than the national average? My answer: One sample t-test, one tailed C) Report a...

2.2. Indicate which test (paired samples (ie dependent) t-test, independent two samples t-test, one-sample t-test, independent samples z-test) is most appropriate for the following situations : A. Comparison of weight gain of two groups of 18 cows where one group was raised following standard practices and the other group was raised following “organic” standards. B. Comparison of scores on a fitness test of Olympic-class distance runners (n=20) with the national average score of people of a similar age range (22-31...

1. For the following experimental designs, indicate whether independent-samples or paired-samples t-test is appropriate: a) Weight is obtained for each subject before and after Dr. Nogani's new treatment. The hypothesis to be tested is that the treatment has no effect on weight loss. b) Elephants are randomly selected from a jungle and Trunkgrol is administered to one group of elephants and Trunkgro2 to the other. The hypothesis to be tested is that both agents are equally effective in promoting trunk...
