You conduct a z test using an alpha level of .05two-tail (zcrit = ± 1.96). The value of zobt = -1.5. Do you
reject or retain the null hypothesis? - Retain the null hypothesis
Mathematically, the power of an experiment is - the probability that the results of an experiment
will allow rejection of the null hypothesis if the independent variable has a real effect.
You conduct a sign test and find that the calculated probability is .067. You are using an alpha level of
.05two-tailed. Given this scenario, is the following statement true or false?
Based on the decision rule, you should reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the independent
variable has an effect on the dependent variable. - False
Is the following statement true or false?
A result that is statistically significant can be assumed to be important as well. - False
Which of the following asserts that the independent variable does not affect the dependent variable? -
The null hypothesis.
Match the type of test (one- vs. two-tailed) with the hypothesis for which it is indicated.
Question:
The new treatment will decrease depression scores.
The new treatment will have an effect on depression scores - B. One-tailed test
, A. Two-tailed test
The hypothesis that claims the difference in results between conditions is due to the independent
variable is the - alternative hypothesis
This error is defined as a decision to retain the null hypothesis when the null hypothesis is false. -
Type II error
By making alpha more stringent, the possible outcomes which allow the rejection of H0 are _______. -
decreased
As the power of an experiment increases, the probability of making a Type II error
___________________. - decreases
Holding other factors constant, increasing the size of the real effect will increase power. - True
Holding other factors constant, increasing the sample size (N) will increase power. - True
The higher the power, the more sensitive the experiment is to detect a real effect of the independent
variable. - True
Which of the following will increase power in the the z and t tests you've learned? - Correct
Increasing the size of the real effect
Correct
Decreasing sample variability
Correct
Increasing sample size
Correct
