1. True or False: By convention, if we conduct a statistical hypothesis test and obtain a p-value of .027, we would reject the null hypothesis.

2. True or False: Before you run a logistic regression model, you must first use a COMPUTE command to enact the log-odds or logit transformation on the dichotomous dependent variable.

3. True or False: Suppose your agency has been evaluating an intervention using a one-group pretest-posttest design with 200 participants and a dichotomous dependent variable, the Mann-Whitney U test would be appropriate for testing the null hypothesis of no intervention effect (i.e., no change from before to after the intervention)?

4. Suppose your boss gives you a dataset and asks you to run descriptive statistics on the variables X1 and X5, and frequencies on the variables X2, X3, X4, and X6. Write out the complete SPSS syntax you would use to accomplish this task.

5. Suppose you have obtained from SPSS the correlation matrix in Appendix 1. According to the information in this matrix, which two variables exhibit the strongest linear relationship?

6. Suppose that the analysis of data from an impact evaluation using a posttest-only control group design with a dichotomous outcome variable, SICKPOST, resulted in the SPSS output appearing in Appendix 2. Summarize the findings of the study, focusing on (a) the magnitude and direction of the estimated effect of the intervention in terms of a relative risk, and (b) whether the statistical test(s) provide support for the effectiveness of this intervention.

7. True or False: The linear regression model cannot handle curvilinear relationships between independent and dependent variables.
