Two samples, each with n = 8, produce an independent-measures t
statistic of t = –2.15. Which of the following decisions is
justified for a two-tailed test? (Hint: use the proper table to
find the critical values).
5. TWO (INDEPENDENT) SAMPLE T-TEST
(a) Describe the independent samples t-test for two means
briefly. How does it do it? (b) State the null and the alternative
hypothesis. (c) State the assumptions. (d) State the formula for
the test statistic. (e) State the rejection rule with (How to
reject the null hypothesis) (f) Give an real life example of how we
can use the independent samples t-test for two means.

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...
The Independent Samples t-Test compares the means of two
independent groups to determine whether there is statistical
evidence that the associated population means are significantly
different. The Independent Samples t-Test is a parametric test.
Give an example of two variables you would compare, what your
theory is and the hypothesis, and how you would find the
independent samples t-test in SPSS.
Assignment #3: Independent Samples T test Conduct an Independent
Samples T test to answer the questions based on the following
scenario. (Assume a non-directional research hypothesis (two-tailed
test) and a level of significance of .05) The superintendent who
collected data for Assignments 1 and 2, continued to examine the
district’s data. One question that concerned the superintendent’s
constituencies was the difference between the school performance
scores of the superintendent’s district and a neighboring district
that had similar demographic and socio-economic...

Problem 1: Independent Samples T In a study of jury behavior,
two samples of participants were provided details about a trial in
which the defendant was obviously guilty. Both groups received
common details. However, group two was also told that some evidence
had been withheld from the jury by the judge. Participants were
asked to recommend a sentence. The table below summarizes the
average sentence (in years) for each group. Is there a difference
in recommended sentence between the two...
Chapter 10) Several factors influence the value obtained for the
independent-measures t statistic. Some factors affect the numerator
of the t statistic and others influence the size of the estimated
standard error in the denominator. For each of the following,
indicate whether the factor influences the numerator or denominator
of the t statistic and determine whether the effect would be to
increase the value of t (farther from zero) or decrease the value
of t (closer to zero). In each...
Indicate which test (dependent samples t-test, independent
samples t-test, independent samples z-test) is most appropriate for
the following situation:
i. Comparison of mean recycling participation between 9 large
cities and 11 small cities
ii. Comparison of the weights of 16 Toronto Maple Leaf rookies
at the beginning versus the end of the regular NHL season.
iii. Comparison of fin length of 35 male and 37 female brook
trout sampled in Spruce Lake, Nottingham Forest.
iv. Comparison of the mass of...
