Solutions to Questions on Hypothesis Testing and Regression 1. A mileage test is conducted for a new car model, the “Pizzazz.” Thirty (n=30) random selected Pizzazzes are driven for a month and the mileage is carefully measured in each. The mean mileage for the sample is 28.6 miles per gallon (mpg) and the sample standard deviation is 2.2 mpg. Estimate a 95% confidence interval for the mean mpg in the entire population of Pizzazzes (you might need to round your answer a little bit to agree with

between the two variables. It is the usual first step in correlation analysis * The Dependent variable is the variable being predicted or estimated. * The Independent variable provides the basis for estimation. It is the predictor variable. Correlation Analysis From a scatter plot we have a first picture of the data. The next step is to calculate a measure which can assess the strength of that relationship. The correlation coefficient r which represents correlation in a sample is calculated

feasibility). Discussion Questions 1. What are the basic research design issues? Describe them in some detail. Basic research design issues are primarily a function of the purpose of the study (whether it is exploratory, descriptive, or hypothesis-testing), and relate to such aspects as the type of study to be done (causal or correlational), the setting in which it will be done (natural or contrived), how much of researcher control will have to be exercised (very little in the case of field studies

group, and educational level. While the latter two variables may also be considered in a numerical manner by using exact values for age and highest grade completed, it is often more informative to categorize such variables into a relatively small number of groups. Analysis of categorical data generally involves the use of data tables. A two samples or measures presents categorical data by counting the number of observations that fall into each group for two variables, one divided into rows and the other

filtration process utilized by wastewater treatment facilities. Body Paragraph # 3 - Hypothesis: Experiment 1 Hypothesis = I think that the bleach will filtrate and remove the contaminants because bleach removes contaminants. Experiment 2 Hypothesis = I think the tap water will contain the most chemical components and the Fiji will contain the least amount of chemical components.

Behavioral Research: 1. Define inferential statistics and how researchers use inferential statistics to draw conclusions from sample data. (3 points) According to Cozby (2009),”inferential statistics are used to determine whether we can, in fact, make statements that the results reflect what would happen if we were to conduct the experiment again and again with multiple samples” (pg. 245). 2. Define probability and discuss how it relates to the concept of statistical significance. (2 points)

Hypothesis Testing Paper A hypothesis is a prediction, a tentative explanation for an observance, phenomenon, or scientific problem. A researcher further investigates the hypothesis by testing (“hypothesis,” 2002). More specifically, the way a researcher tests a hypothesis is by hypothesis testing. “Hypothesis testing is a procedure for deciding whether the outcome of study (results for a sample) supports a particular theory or practical innovation, which is thought to apply to a population”
