Paired Design - correct answer ✔Both treatments are applied to every sampled
| | | | | | | | | | |


unit.
|




Two-Sample Design - correct answer ✔Each treatment group is composed of an
| | | | | | | | | | |


independent, random sample of units.
| | | | |




Paired t-test - correct answer ✔Used to test a null hypothesis that the mean
| | | | | | | | | | | | |


difference of paired measurements equals a specified value.
| | | | | | | |




Paired t-test Assumptions - correct answer ✔1) The sampling units are
| | | | | | | | | |


randomly sampled from the population.
| | | | |




2) The paired differences have a normal distribution in the population.
| | | | | | | | | |




Standard Error of Y₁-Y₂ - correct answer ✔√s²p((1/n¹)+(1/n₂))
| | | | | | |




Pooled Sample Variance - correct answer ✔s²p=(df₁s²₁+df₂s²₂)/(df₁+df₂) The
| | | | | | |


average of the variances of the samples weighted by their degrees of freedom.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |




Two-Sample t-test - correct answer ✔The simplest method to compare the
| | | | | | | | | |


means of a numerical variable between two independent groups.
| | | | | | | | |




t=(Y₁-Y₂)/SEy₁-y₂

, Two-Sample t-test Assumptions - correct answer ✔1) Each of the two samples
| | | | | | | | | | |


is a random sample from its population.
| | | | | | |




2) The numerical variable is normally distributed in each population.
| | | | | | | | |




3) The standard deviation (and variance) of the numerical variable is the same
| | | | | | | | | | | |


in both populations.
| | |




Welch's Approximate t-test - correct answer ✔Compares the means of two
| | | | | | | | | |


groups and can be used even when the variances of the two groups are not
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |


equal.
|




F-test - correct answer ✔Tests whether the variances of two populations are
| | | | | | | | | | |


equal. F=s²₁(larger sample variance)/s²₂ (smaller sample variance)
| | | | | | |




F-test Assumptions - correct answer ✔1) Both samples are random samples
| | | | | | | | | |




2) The numerical variable is normally distributed within both populations.
| | | | | | | | |




Levene's Test - correct answer ✔Tests the difference between the variances of
| | | | | | | | | | |


two or more populations.
| | | |




Levene's Test Assumptions - correct answer ✔1) Both samples are random
| | | | | | | | | |


samples
|




2) The distribution of the variable is roughly symmetrical in both populations.
| | | | | | | | | | |




Four Alternative Options for Analyzing Data that do not meet assumptions -
| | | | | | | | | | |



correct answer ✔1) Ignore the violations of assumptions
| | | | | | | |




2) Transform the data
