similar class of students who did not see the film is 75. The standard deviation is 12. Using the five steps of hypothesis testing and the 5% significance level (i.e. alpha = .05)‚ does showing the film change students’ attitudes towards the chronically mentally ill? What does it mean to set alpha at .05? Alpha means making a Type I error same as significance level. When the alpha is at .05 it means that the researcher doesn’t want to take a big risk therefore sets the alpha to .05. By doing this

The researchers used Complete Randomized Design (CRD) as their experimental design and the statistical test of significance used was Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). After testing‚ the researchers summarized the results and found out that there is significant difference between the five treatments. And the researchers concluded that garlic and black pepper can

You gather data and complete a multiple regression analysis with the following results: A has a beta of .086 with a calculated significance level of .182; B has a beat of .561 with a calculated significance level of .000; C has a beta of .116 with a calculated significance level of .156. Which of the causes is the “root cause” of the effect (problem)? Support your decision with the regression results. 6. What is the difference between a run chart

Correlation Test Correlation is a key part of statistical data and is used to describe the degree of relationship between two variables. This includes the strength and direction of the relationship (Bryman and Cramer‚ 2009). When carrying out this test a scatter graph is plotted so that it can then be

Practical uses of statistical power in business research studies An important use of power is in the planning of sample sizes prior to gathering data used to evaluate statistical hypotheses. A number of business statistics texts illustrate this use of power (Anderson‚ Sweeney‚ & Williams‚ 1999; Daniel & Terrell‚ 1995). Again‚ however‚ the presentation is somewhat technical and developed through formulas‚ and is restricted to simple one-sample tests involving a mean or binomial proportion as the

CHI-SQUARE TEST (χ²): Chi-square is a statistical test commonly used to compare observed data with data we would expect to obtain according to a specific hypothesis. For example‚ if‚ according to Mendel’s laws‚ you expected 10 of 20 offspring from a cross to be male and the actual observed number was 8 males‚ then you might want to know about the "goodness to fit" between the observed and expected. Were the deviations (differences between observed and expected) the result of chance‚ or were they
