  3. Homework due – Tuesday (April 2nd) On class website: Please print and complete homework worksheet #14, 15 and 16 Hypothesis testing with t-tests A full week is allowed for this homework because it includes the design and completion of an original piece of research – please plan accordingly (Please note this worksheet accounts for three homework assignments). Please click in My last name starts with a letter somewhere between A. A – D B. E – L C. M – R D. S – Z Please double check – All cell phones other electronic devices are turned off and stowed away

  4. Please read: Chapters 10 – 12 in Lind book and Chapters 2 – 4 in Plous book: (Before the next exam – April 9th) Lind Chapter 10: One sample Tests of Hypothesis Chapter 11: Two sample Tests of Hypothesis Chapter 12: Analysis of Variance Plous Chapter 2: Cognitive Dissonance Chapter 3: Memory and Hindsight Bias Chapter 4: Context Dependence

  5. Use this as your study guide By the end of lecture today3/26/13 Logic of hypothesis testing Steps for hypothesis testing Levels of significance (Levels of alpha) what does p < 0.05 mean? what does p < 0.01 mean? Hypothesis testing with t-scores (one-sample) Hypothesis testing with t-scores (two independent samples) Constructing brief, complete summary statements

  6. 95% 26.08 < µ< 33.92 mean + z σ = 30 ± (1.96)(2) 99% 24.84 < µ< 35.16 mean + z σ = 30 ± (2.58)(2)

  7. Melvin Melvin Mark Difference not due sample size because both samples same size Difference not due population variability because same population Yes! Difference is due to sloppiness and random error in Melvin’s sample Melvin

  8. z- score : because we know the population standard deviation Ho: µ = 5 Bags of potatoes from that plant are not different from other plants Ha: µ ≠ 5 Bags of potatoes from that plant are different from other plants Two tailed test (α = .05) 1.96 1 1 = .25 = 6 – 5 4 16 = 4.0 .25 4.0 -1.96 1.96

  9. Because theobserved z (4.0 ) is bigger than critical z (1.96) These three will always match Yes Probability of Type I error is always equal to alpha Yes Yes .05 1.64 No Because observed z (4.0) is still bigger than critical z (1.64) 2.58 No Because observed z (4.0) is still bigger than critical z(2.58) there is not there is a difference there is there is no difference 1.96 2.58

  10. t- score : because we don’t know the population standard deviation Two tailed test (α = .05) n – 1 =16 – 1 = 15

  11. two tail test α= .05 (df) = 15 Critical t(15) = 2.131

  12. -2.13 2.13 √ t- score : because we don’t know the population standard deviation Two tailed test (α = .05) n – 1 =16 – 1 = 15 Critical t(15) = 2.131 89 - 85 2.667 6 16

  13. Because theobserved z (2.67) is bigger than critical z (2.13) These three will always match Yes Probability of Type I error is always equal to alpha Yes Yes .05

  14. one tail test α= .05 (df) = 15 Critical t(15) = 1.753

  15. Yes Yes Yes .05 1.753 No Because observed t (2.67) is still bigger than critical t (1.753)

  16. two tail test α= .01 (df) = 15 Critical t(15) = 2.947

  17. Yes Yes Yes .05 1.753 No Because observed t (2.67) is still bigger than critical t (1.753) 2.947 Yes Because observed t (2.67) is not bigger than critical t(2.947) No These three will always match No No she did not consultant did improve morale she did consultant did not improve morale 2.131 2.947

  18. Finish with statistical summaryz = 4.0; p < 0.05 Or if it *were not* significant: z = 1.2 ; n.s. Start summary with two means (based on DV) for two levels of the IV Describe type of test (z-test versus t-test) with brief overview of results n.s. = “not significant” p<0.05 = “significant” The average weight of bags of potatoes from this particular plant is 6 pounds, while the average weight for population is 5 pounds. A z-test was completed and this difference was found to be statistically significant. We should fix the plant. (z = 4.0; p<0.05) Value of observed statistic

  19. Finish with statistical summaryt(15) = 2.67; p < 0.05 Or if it *were not* significant: t(15) = 1.07; n.s. Start summary with two means (based on DV) for two levels of the IV Describe type of test (z-test versus t-test) with brief overview of results n.s. = “not significant” p<0.05 = “significant” The average job-satisfaction score was 89 for the employees who went On the retreat, while the average score for population is 85. A t-test was completed and this difference was found to be statistically significant. We should hire the consultant. (t(15) = 2.67; p<0.05) Value of observed statistic df

  20. . . A note on z scores, and t score: • Numerator is always distance between means • (how far away the distributions are) • Denominator is always measure of variability • (how wide or much overlap there is between distributions) Difference between means Difference between means Difference between means Variabilityof curve(s) Variabilityof curve(s) Variabilityof curve(s)

  21. Five steps to hypothesis testing Step 1: Identify the research problem (hypothesis) How is a single sample t-test different than two sample t-test? Describe the null and alternative hypotheses How is a single sample t-test most similar to the two sample t-test? Step 2: Decision rule • Alpha level? (α= .05 or .01)? • Critical statistic (e.g. z or t) value? Step 3: Calculations Step 4: Make decision whether or not to reject null hypothesis If observed z (or t) is bigger then critical z (or t) then reject null Single sample standard deviation versus average standard deviation for two samples Single sample has one “n” while two samples will have an “n” for each sample Step 5: Conclusion - tie findings back in to research problem

  22. Independent samples t-test Are the two means significantly different from each other, or is the difference just due to chance? 24 – 21 t = variability Donald is a consultant and leads training sessions. As part of his training sessions, he provides the students with breakfast. He has noticed that when he provides a full breakfast people seem to learn better than when he provides just a small meal (donuts and muffins). So, he put his hunch to the test. He had two classes, both with three people enrolled. The one group was given a big meal and the other group was given only a small meal. He then compared their test performance at the end of the day. Please test with an alpha = .05 Small meal 19 23 21 Big Meal 22 25 25 Mean= 21 Mean= 24 Got to figure this part out: We want to average from 2 samples - Call it “pooled” x1 – x2 t = variability

  23. Hypothesis testing Step 1: Identify the research problem Did the size of the meal affect the learning / test scores? Step 2: Describe the null and alternative hypotheses Ho: The size of the meal has no effect on test scores H1: The size of the meal does have an effect on test scores Step 3: Decision rule α= .05 One tail or two tail test?

  24. Hypothesis testing Step 3: Decision rule α= .05 n1 = 3; n2 = 3 Degrees of freedom total (df total) = (n1 - 1) + (n2 – 1) = (3 - 1) + (3 – 1) = 4 Degrees of freedom total (df total) = (n total - 2) two tailed test Notice: Two different ways to think about it Critical t(4) = 2.776

  25. two tail test α= .05 (df) = 4 Critical t(4) = 2.776

  28. Hypothesis testing Step 5: Make decision whether or not to reject null hypothesis Observed t = 1.964 Critical t = 2.776 1.964 is not farther out on the curve than 2.776 so, we do not reject the null hypothesis t(4) = 1.964; n.s. Step 6: Conclusion: There appears to be no difference in test scores between the two groups

  29. How to report the findingsfor a t-test Mean of small meal was 21 Mean of big meal was 24 One paragraph summary of this study. Describe the IV & DV. Present the two means, which type of test was conducted, and the statistical results. Finish with statistical summaryt(4) = 1.96; ns Observed t = 1.964 Start summary with two means (based on DV) for two levels of the IV df = 4 Or if it *were* significant: t(9) = 3.93; p < 0.05 Describe type of test (t-test versus anova) with brief overview of results We compared test scores for large and small meals. The mean test scores for the big meal was 24, and was 21 for the small meal. A t-test was calculated and there appears to be no significant difference in test scores between the two types of meals t(4) = 1.964; n.s. n.s. = “not significant” p<0.05 = “significant” n.s. = “not significant” p<0.05 = “significant” Type of test with degrees of freedom Value of observed statistic

  41. Independent samples t-test What if we ran more subjects? Donald is a consultant and leads training sessions. As part of his training sessions, he provides the students with breakfast. He has noticed that when he provides a full breakfast people seem to learn better than when he provides just a small meal (donuts and muffins). So, he put his hunch to the test. He had two classes, both with three people enrolled. The one group was given a big meal and the other group was given only a small meal. He then compared their test performance at the end of the day.
