Fоr eаch оf the fоllowing studies, sаy whether you would use а t test for a single sample, t test for dependent means, or a t test for independent means. Include a one sentence explanation for why the test you chose is the appropriate test. (6 pts) a. A researcher measures the intelligence of college students who are first born in their families (n=25) compared to those who were born last in their families (n = 40). b. The coach of your college football team conducts an informal survey showing that members of the team study an average of 3.5 hours per day. The coach makes the claim that this is equivalent to the amount of time students at the college study in general. You feel that the coach is incorrect. You randomly select 50 students from the college and ask them how much they study each day. Your result is that these 50 students study an average of 5.2 hours per day. c. A researcher tests the memory scores of each of a group of 15 students twice, once while in a very noisy room and once while in a quiet room. She then compares the scores.
A reseаrcher wаnted tо test the effectiveness оf а new prоfessional development initiative aimed at increasing teacher’s use of technology in the classroom. (10 pts) At the beginning of the school year all teachers were told that using technology to improve instruction was a major district goal. 32 teachers from School A participated in a two-day intensive workshop focused on practical techniques for using technology to improve instruction; they were also given the informational packets about how to implement various instructional technology tools and the contact information for the technology and teaching specialist. 36 teachers in School B were given the informational packets about how to implement various instructional technology tools and the contact information for the technology and teaching specialist, but received no training. The two groups of teachers were then assessed by using a instructional technology integration index (a higher score indicates technology use is aligned with high quality instruction). The mean score on the index for teachers from School A was 8.9. The mean score for teachers from School B was 7.0. You know that the estimated standard deviation of the distribution of differences between sample means is SDIFFERENCE =1. Do these results suggest that the intensive workshop resulted in a difference in the technology integration index mean scores? Indicate a) the type of test being conducted and whether it is 1-tail or 2-tail b) null and alternative hypotheses c) degrees of freedom and cutoff score (from table) d) calculate your statistical test of choice e) do you accept or reject the null hypothesis? Why or why not?
