Task 1. (10 points)
In a t distribution, the t statistics is -2.20 and total sample size is 103.
A) Find df.
B) Provide your decision with an explanation (H0 or H1)
A) df= ntotal-1
103-1=102
B) I need to find tcritical by looking at the table. the corresponding value
that most close to 102 is 100 in the table and it goes to 1.984. Since
tcritical is lower than tfirst the decision is H1. I-2.20I>I1.98I
Task 2. (20 points)
204 students were randomly assigned (grouped) into 4 groups. Then their
mean scores are compared. According to below Sum of Squares, answer the
following questions.
A) Calculate F value.
B) Provide your decision on mean comparison with an explanation (H0 or
H1)
C) Calculate and evaluate the effect size (Eta-squared).
A) SST=SSB+SSW
1260=60+SSW
SSW=1200
df SSB= number of groups-1=4-1=3
df SST= number of students-1=204-1=203
df SSW= df SST- df SSB=203-3=200
MSB= SSB/dfB= 60/3=20
MSW= SSW/ dfW=1200/200=6
F=MSB/MSW=20/6=3.3
C) I need to find Fcritical by looking at the table for F(3,200) it is 3.07(i took
120 as denominator) since Fcritical is lower than Ffound , the decision
is H1. I3.07I<I3.3I
D) Eta Squared= SSEffect/SSTotal (SSEffect=SSBetween)
60/1260=0.047 or 0.05
Answer the following research questions based on the given SPSS file.
Conduct your analysis using SPSS. Paste your related tables and figures. Write a
conclusion paragraph for each question. Do not forget to report and evaluate
the effect sizes where applicable.
Task 3. (25 points)
Is there a statistically significant difference in mean Financial
Literacy Score for the teaching methods? Anova
H0= All Financial Literacy Score for the teaching methods
means are equal.
H1= At least one Financial Literacy Score for the teaching
methods mean is different.
The mean financial literacy score of students who have
adaptive learning is 64.50, who have AI Assisted Learning is
52.10, who have Traditional Learning is 53.78. In ANOVA
F(2,177)=3.42 and p=.35<.05 We reject H0. This means that at
least one mean is different. We need to investigate which
groups are different. Levene test of homogeneity of variance
shows that the variances are equal p=.399>.050. Therefore,
we look Benforroni post-hoc test.
There is a statistically significant mean score difference
between students who have adaptive learning and ai assisted
learning p=.38<.50. Other comparisons are not significant
(p=.105>.050; p=1.000>.050). Therefore, the mean for other
scores are not different.
Task 4. (25 points)
Is there a statistically significant difference between the mean IQ score of
students in public and private schools? Decide Ho or H1 using 2 different
methods. Independent t test
H0= There is no significant difference between the mean IQ score of students in
public and private schools.
H1= There is a significant difference between the mean IQ score of students in
public and private schools.
The students who are in public schools have a mean IQ Score of 112.70 and
students who are in private schools have a mean IQ Score of 104.65. According
to Levene’s Test, the variance of the groups is equal (p=.797>.050). The mean
score difference, 8.050, was significant, t (178) =2.199, p=.029<.050. Therefore,
the mean IQScore of students who are in public schools and private schools is
not equal.
Method1:
I need to find tcritical by looking at the table. The corresponding value most
close to 178 100 and it goes to 1.984. In the SPSS Output the value for t is
2.199. Since tcritical is lower than t(output), the decision is H1. Means are
different.
I1.984I<I2.199I
ItcriticalI<It(spss output)I
Method2:
I use confidence interval for mean difference.
CI=Mean Difference± (2×Std Error of Difference)
8.050±(2×3.661)
8.050+7.322=15.372
8.050-7.322=0.728
Since there is no 0 between the two values the decision is H1. Means are
different.
Task 5. (20 points)
A) Could we predict financial literacy score using IQ Score, Preanxiety score and
Enjoyment of reading? (regression) financial literacy score dependent others
are independent
B) Create a 95% confidence interval for Financial Literacy score of Ali in which
Ali has IQ of 100, preanxiety score of 50, EnjoymentofReading score of 60.
A) H0= It is not possible to predict financial literacy score using IQ Score,
Preanxiety score and Enjoyment of reading.
H1= It is possible to predict financial literacy score using IQ Score,
Preanxiety score and Enjoyment of reading.
It was concluded that IQ Score, PreAnxietyScore and
EnjoymentOfReading can predict FinancialLiteracy (p=.001<.050). This
model could explain 22% of the variation in the FinancialLiteracy(R 2=.22).
IQ Score (p=.006<.050) and Enjoyment of Reading(p=.021<.050) had
significant positive relationship with financial literacy, whereas
PreAnxiety Score (p=.001<.050) had significant negative relationship with
financial literacy.
Among these independent variables PreAnxiety Score (Beta=. -289) had
the most important role in the prediction. Then, IQ Score (Beta=.214)
was the second and Enjoyment of Reading (Beta=.177) had the least
important role in the prediction.
FinancialLiteracy= 33.14+(.23×IQScore) -(.42×PreAnxietyScore) +
(.26×EnjoymentOfReading)
B)
FinancialLiteracy= 33.14+(.23×100) -(.42×50) +(.26×60) =50.74
ConfidenceInterval= 50.74± (2×Std Error of Estimate)
50.74± (2×22.94)
50.74+45.89=96.63
50.74-45.89= 4.85
95%CI= [4.85; 96.63]
