Chapter 9 lectures 8,9,10 Flashcards
T-tests are used when you are?
Comparing differences between 2 groups on a DV with a scale-level of measurement.
What does an independent samples t-test compare?
It is used for comparing 2 groups that are indeed independent–>different subjects in each group —->between-group design
Used to compare the means of two groups when the DV has a scale-level of measurement
What group design is used when you are doing an independent samples t-test?
between group
What group design is used when you are doing a paired samples t-test?
Within-group
What does a paired samples t-test compare?
is used for comparing scores obtained from the same subjects at 2 different times
Used when data are paired or linked in some way, such as in experimental situations with pre-test scores and post-test scores
What are the three assumptions of the independent samples t-test?
Variances are equal
Normally distributed
Independent scores for each group (one person’s score doesn’t relate to a score in the other group)
What does Levene test assess?
assesses whether the variance of the dependent variable is equal for the two groups in the population. Also referred to as “Homogeneity of Variance”
If Levene’s test is NOT significant (Sig value > .05), then we can
Accept the null?
Reject the null?
we can NOT reject this null so fail to reject the null
If Levene’s test IS significant (Sig value <.05), then we can?
accept the null
reject the null
Reject the null
If Levene’s test IS significant (Sig value <.05), the assumption or normality ______ violated
IS Violated
If Levene’s test IS significant (Sig value <.05), Equal variance is ________
equal variances NOT assumed
If Levene’s test is NOT significant (Sig value <.05), Equal variance is ________
equal variances are assumed
What are the 2 assumptions of the paired samples t-test?
The Independent variable is dichotomous.
The DV is normally distributed
Is there a Leven’s test for paired sample t-tests?
SPSS doesn’t automatically do a Levene’s test because there are no
need to test for equal variances as the groups are related and similar.
The measure of DV Ordinal, what test do you choose for between group design?
Mann- Whitney U
The measure of DV Ordinal, what test do you choose for within group design?
Wilcoxon
The measure of DV is nominal or dichotomous, and it is difference question what test do you choose for within-group design?
Mcnemar
The measure of DV is nominal or dichotomous what test do you choose for between-group design?
Chi-Square
The Wilcoxon matched-pairs test is used to compare?
Medians (or mean ranks) of 2 repeated groups
The Wilcoxon test is used when the DV is ________
Ordinal
The McNemar test is used to compare
Used when comparing two related groups on a DV with a dichotomous level of measurement
What is the DV measurement if you are running a McNemar test?
Dichotomous
Is McNemar for between-group or within-group design?
Within
Effect direction for T-test, Mann Whitney U, Wilcoxon, McNemar, or Chi-Square we use?
We use the group means for difference questions/ Which group did beter
What is sampling distribution?
Sampling distribution is the set of different scores (or statistics) that results from repeated replications of the same study using different samples of the same size from the same population
2 Assumptions of sampling distributions are?
Normally distributed (resemble a normal curve)
The mean, median, and mode of zero. It is a theoretical distribution
What is a standard error in an independent t-test?
Standard Error is a measure of the amount of variation in a sampling distribution. It is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution.
What does a t-score tell us?
T-scores tell us how many standard deviations the difference between sample means is from the mean of the sampling distribution, and in which direction.
What is a confidence interval?
Confidence Intervals are a range of estimates within which the population parameter (e.g., mean) is likely to be found.
CI contains the population parameter.
What % do researchers use for the confidence interval?
95%
The probability of the CI capturing the population parameter is called the
_________
confidence level
