All the questions in this picture, 1-2 is done
1. Let's say we have two groups, group 1 = 9- to 15-year-old girls & group 2 = 16- to 22-year- old girls, who are given questionnaires regarding their desire to see a "boy band" in concert. The questionnaire was rated on a scale of 1 = no desire to see the boy band to 10 = extremely high desire to see the boy band. Group 1 had a mean of *1 = 7.5 and Group 2 had a mean of X_ = 3.7. The sample size for each group was Mi = 10 and N2 = 10. Standard deviations for group 1 and group 2 are $1 = 1.5 and s2 = 1.2, respectively. We want to know if the sample means differ from one another and decide to do an independent-samples t test. Please compute the observed t statistic by hand. Report the t statistic using three decimal places (more technically, round to the thousandths). For full credit, be sure to show all of your work. (3 points - 2 points for correct answer and 1 point for showing work) Formula: X X2 find = (N1 -1)si + (N2 -1)s = 6.256 1 1 N+ N2 -2 2. What are the degrees of freedom for the independent-samples t test computed in question 1? For full credit, be sure to show all of your work. (1 point for correct answer) Formula: find degrees of freedom = (N1 + N2) -2 = 18 3. Assuming our research hypothesis was non-directional and our significance level was set at a = .05, what are the critical values associated with the independent t test from questions 1 and 2 (specify the sign[s] of the values)? (1 point for correct answer) 4. Based on the observed t value from question 1 and the critical t value from question 3, would you conclude that 9-15 year old girls significantly differed from 16-22 year old girls in their average desire to see the boy band in concert? (1 point for correct answer) 5. Using the data set "Problem Set 8 Data Set" found on Canvas, compute a 2-tailed independent-samples t test with a significance level of a = .05 using "group" as the grouping variable (groups are coded 0 and 1) and "knowledge" as the dependent variable. For credit, be sure to include your output. (3 points - 2 points for getting the correct output and 1 point for including the output) 6. Using the output from question 5, report the results of the independent-samples t test. Use the proper notation including the degrees of freedom, observed value, and p value. Also report the 95% confidence interval. Use three decimal places (more technically, round to the thousandths). HINT: Remember results often differ depending if variances are equal or not equal between groups. Be sure to interpret the correct lines of output depending on the significance of Levene's test.
