1.2 A test that allows us to assess differences between more than two group means and to examine
the effects of more than one independent variable is analysis of variance (ANOVA).
1.3 A chi-squared test is typically used to test for association between two categorical variables.
1.4 A null hypothesis is a negative statement about a possible difference between the variables that
you want to study.
1.5 The statement is false. The single-sample t-test is used when you have a single set of scores and
are investigating whether the mean of this sample equals a known mean.
1.6 The type of error that occurs when a researcher rejects a null hypothesis that is actually true is
called a Type I error.
1.7
a) H1: μ1 > μ2 is a directional hypothesis because it specifies a direction of the difference.
b) H1: μA < μB is a directional hypothesis for the same reason.
c) H1: μA ≠ μB is a nondirectional hypothesis because it doesn't specify a particular direction of the
difference.
