What are Psychophysiological Disorders?  How do they differ from most of the disorders discussed in this chapter?

What is the difference between a matching design and a repeated measures design?

Assume: (Use t-table to solve) N = 21; α = .05 (2-tailed test)         What is tcrit___________________? N = 16; α = .01 (1-tailed test)         What is tcrit ___________________? N = 10; α = .05 (1-tailed test)         What is tcrit___________________?

When computing a confidence interval, whether 2-tailed or 1-tailed, always use _____________-_______________ critical value

  A physiologist has conducted an experiment to evaluate the effect of Hormone X on aggressive behavior. Ten rats were injected with Hormone X, while ten other rates received a placebo injection. The number of aggressive attacks (fights) were counted over a 45 minute period. The following results were obtained:       Group 1                                           Group 2   Hormone X                                         Placebo                                                              8            7                                                5            8    10          9                                                6            6    12          8                                                3            5    6             7                                                4            4    6            11                                              7            8   Should the physiologist use an independent t-Test or a related samples t-Test? Explain your answer. What are the independent and dependent variables? What are Ho and Ha ? Calculate tobt Using

A researcher investigates whether daily exercise alters long-term stress levels. On a national survey, the mean stress level of those who do not exercise is 56.35. For a sample of 10 participants who exercised daily for two weeks, the researcher obtained the following stress scores: 40          59          48          36          44          43          45          45          32           37 What are the conditions of the independent variable? What is the dependent variable? What are Ho and Ha ? What is the value of tobt ? With

Which of the following is correct for  for a two-tailed test? tcrit = + tcrit = ± tcrit = ˗

Assume that you want to test the claim that the paired sample data come from a population for which the mean difference is μd = 0. Compute the value of the t test statistic. Round intermediate calculations to four decimal places as needed and final answers to three decimal places as needed.A farmer has decided to use a new additive to grow his crops. He divided his farm into 10 plots and kept records of the corn yield (in bushels) before and after using the additive. The results are shown below. You wish to test the following hypothesis at the 10 percent level of significance. H0: μd = 0 against H1: μd ≠ 0.What is the value of the appropriate test statistic?
