Question:

For the data in Exercise 20.5 we could say that three out of 10 residents used fewer hypotheses the second time and seven used more. We could test this with x2. How would this differ from either Friedman’s test or an appropriate randomization test applied to those data?

I frequently ask you to use SPSS or R to solve a problem. You should have no problem with SPSS if you stick with the “Legacy” analyses. You should be able to use R by modifying the code that I give on the Web page for this chapter: http://www.uvm .edu/~dhowell/fundamentals9/Supplements/Chapter20R.html

thus eliminating obvious age effects. The data on independence are as follows (a higher score means that the person is more independent):image text in transcribed
