- Measure the self-esteem of the same group of college students at the beginning, middle and end of their freshman year.
- Compare math skills for three different professional groups: physicians, attorneys and psychologists.
- Measure Body Mass Index (BMI) for persons who take Supplement X vs. a placebo and who either exercise regularly or don’t. So there are four groups: 1) Exercise/Take Supplement X, 2) Don’t Exercise/Take Supplement X, 3) Exercise/Take Placebo, 4) Don’t Exercise/Take Placebo
- Look at satisfaction with mental health services based on the client’s ethnicity (White, Black, Hispanic, Asian or Other) and how they were greeted on their initial visit (receptionist smiles or does not smile).
#9. What information does a correlation coefficient convey?
#10. State whether each of the following is an example of a positive
correlation or a negative correlation.
- Higher education level is associated with a larger annual income.
- Increased testosterone is associated with increased aggression.
- The smaller the class size, the more students believe they are receiving a quality education.

#11. Which is the predictor variable (X) and which is the criterion variable (Y) for each of the following examples?
- A researcher tests whether the size of an audience can predict the number of mistakes a student makes during a classroom presentation.
- A military officer tests whether the duration of an overseas tour can predict the morale among troops overseas.
- A social psychologist tests whether the size of a toy in cereal boxes can predict preferences for that cereal.
Ice Cream Flavor Preference by Gender | |||
Men | Women | Marginal Row Totals | |
Vanilla | 15 | 10 | 25 |
Chocolate | 30 | 5 | 35 |
Marginal Column Totals | 45 | 15 | 60 (Grand Total) |
The chi-square statistic is 5.143. The p-value
is .0233. This result is significant at p < .05.
#12. The
chart above shows male and female preferences for vanilla vs. chocolate ice
cream among men and women.
- What percent of men prefer chocolate over vanilla? ________
- What percent of women prefer chocolate over vanilla? ________
- Report the results of the statistical test in plain language:
#13. The calculator at
this link will allow you to perform a one-way chi-square or “goodness of fit
test”: http://vassarstats.net/csfit.html
Fifty students can choose between four different
professors to take Introductory Statistics. The number choosing each professor
is shown below. Use the calculator above to test the null hypothesis that there
is no preference for professors — that there is an equal chance of choosing
each of them. Report your results including chi-square, degrees of freedom,
p-value and your interpretation. Use an alpha level of .05. Be careful not to
over interpret – state only what the test result tells you.
Professor | N |
Dr. Able | 20 |
Dr. Baker | 8 |
Dr. Chavez | 14 |
Dr. Davis | 8 |
