Week 2 Practice Worksheet
Provide a response to the following prompts.
1. The Wilcox &Keselman (2003) article from this week’s electronic
readings discusses two problems with measures of central
tendency: skewness of the data and outliers. Discuss each of these
issues and how they affect measures of central tendency.
How do the sample mean and the population mean differ? What is the
symbol for each type of mean?
An expert reviews a sample of 10 scientific articles (n = 10) and records
the following numbers of error in each article: 0, 4, 2, 8, 2, 3, 1, 0, 5, and
7.
1. Compute the mean, median, mode, sum of squares (SS), the
variance, and the standard deviation for this sample using the
definitional and computational formulas. You may use
Microsoft® Excel® data anlysis to compute these statistics
and copy your output into this worksheet.
Explain, to a person who has never had a course in statistics what you
have done.
Note the ways in which the means and standard deviations differ, and
speculate on the possible meaning of these differences, presuming they
are representative of U.S. governors and large corporations’ CEOs in
general.
A researcher records the levels of attraction for various fashion models
among college students. He finds that mean levels of attraction are much
higher than the median and the mode for these data.
5. What is the shape of the distribution for the data in this study?
What measure of central tendency is most appropriate for describing
these data? Why?
On a standard measure of hearing ability, the mean is 300, and the
standard deviation is 20. Provide the Z scores for persons whose raw
scores are 340, 310, and 260. Provide the raw scores for persons
whose Z scores on this test are 2.4, 1.5, and -4.5.
6. Using the unit normal table, find the proportion under the standard
normal curve that lies in the tail for each of the follow useing table
starting on page 673 (Hint: Remember to change all percents to
decimals):
1. Z = 1.00
2. Z = -1.05
3. Z = 0
4. Z = 2.80
5. Z = 1.96
Suppose the scores of architects on a particular creativity test are
normally distributed. Using a normal curve table (pp. 673-676 of the
text), what percentage of architects have Z scores
8. above .10?
9. below .10?
10. above .20?
11. below .20?
12. above 1.10?
13. below 1.10?
A statistics instructor wants to measure the effectiveness of his teaching
skills in a class of 102 students (N = 102). He selects students by waiting
at the door to the classroom prior to his lecture and pulling aside every
third student to give him or her a questionnaire.
1. Is this sample design an example of random sampling? Explain.
Assuming that all students attend his class that day, how many students
will the instructor select to complete his questionnaire?
Suppose you were going to conduct a survey of visitors to your campus.
You want the survey to be as representative as possible.

1 (PTSD)

Select one of the following scenarios based on your particular
field of interest in psychology:
Industrial/Organizational Psychology:
A few months ago, the upper management at a large corporation
decided they wanted to make major changes in the organization.
Leadership is concerned that employees may be resistant to the
change, and they want to find out if there is a change
management method that would help employees accept change
more effectively and keep employee satisfaction high. Two
methods they have considered are the ADKAR Framework and
the Prosci Change Management Methodology. The company
wants to implement a small change in two departments before
they make any major organization changes and would like to test
the methods. The corporation uses the Devine Company to
measure employee satisfaction with an anonymous survey.
Applied Psychology:
A large medical facility is experiencing too many missed
appointments in its primary and specialty care clinics. The
facility has noticed that not all patients respond well to reminder
calls regarding follow-up appointments. Some patients do not
answer calls and do not seem to respond to voice mail
requesting they call the facility. The result is that many follow
up appointments are missed. Management has read articles that
people respond very well to text messages and would like to see
which method provides the least amount of missed
appointments. Missed appointments are tracked in the facility
database on a monthly basis.
General Psychology:
Clinicians at a small clinic have been introduced to a new
method to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in their
clients for veterans. Research indicates that virtual reality (VR)
is a highly effective treatment option for patients with PTSD.
Currently, the clinic uses only cognitive processing therapy
(CPT) with their patients suffering from PTSD. The clinicians
would like to find out whether VR therapy has different results
from CPT therapy. The measure used by the clinic to measure
PTSD symptoms is the Combat Exposure Scale. Both therapies
need to be applied for a minimum of 12 weeks to be effective.
Write a 525- to 750-word paper that addresses the following for
your chosen scenario:
Clearly define the problem or issue you are addressing. Provide
a brief background of any research you have found that might
affect your research hypothesis.
Create a research hypothesis based on the information provided
in each scenario. You will be given a data set with two sets of
interval data (just the numbers, as you must decide what they
represent, such as method A results or method B results). This
means you are going to test one thing against another, such as
which method works best (step 1 of the steps to hypothesis
testing). State the null and research hypotheses. Explain whether
these hypotheses require a one-tailed test or two-tailed test, and
explain your rationale.
Describe the sample you will use. Sample size will be 30 for
each group, which will be provided in your data set. Explain
what type of sampling you selected. You may create your own
data set if you want, as it is only hypothetical—you do not need
to collect any data.
Do you think you would also collect some descriptive data, such
as gender, age, or shift? Why do you think it makes sense to
collect descriptive data?
Format your paper according to APA guidelines.
Example
You have a hypothesis that two drugs have different effects on
lowering anxiety. You would have anxiety scores for drug A and
anxiety scores for drug B (all after 4 weeks of treatment) to run
inferential analysis after 4 weeks.
Null hypothesis is H0: drug A = drug B
Research hypothesis is H1: drug A ≠ drug B
Dependent variable: Anxiety score changed after treatment.
Independent variable: drug treatment
Because you did not state a direction in your hypotheses (better
than or worse than), this will be a two-tailed test. You are
looking for differences in either direction. You would set your
alpha level of .05 and have a sample for each group of 30 people
that were volunteers for the study.

Provide a response to the following prompts.
Note: Each team member should compute the following questions and
submit them to the Learning Team forum. The team should then discuss
each team member’s answers to ascertain the correct answer for each
question. Once your team has answered all the questions, submit a
finalized team worksheet.
1. When a result is not extreme enough to reject the null hypothesis,
explain why it is wrong to conclude that your result supports the
null hypothesis.
List the five steps of hypothesis testing and explain the procedure and
logic of each.
A researcher wants to know whether people who regularly listen to
radio talk shows are more or less likely to vote in national elections than
people in general.
1. State the research hypothesis and null hypothesis
Would the researchers use a one- or two-tailed Z test?
The general population (Population 2) has a mean of 30 and a standard
deviation of 5, and the cutoff Z score for significance in a study
involving one participant is 1.96. If the raw score obtained by the
participant is 45, what decisions should be made about the null and
research hypotheses?
One hundred people are included in a study in which they are compared

A psychology professor of a large class became curious as to whether
the students who turned in tests first scored differently from the overall
mean on the test. The overall mean score on the test was 75 with a
standard deviation of 10; the scores were approximately normally
distributed. The mean score for the first 20 students to turn in tests was
78. Using the .05 significance level, was the average test score earned by
the first 20 students to turn in their tests significantly different from the
overall mean?
1. Use the five steps of hypothesis testing.
Figure the confidence limits for the 95% confidence interval.

Two boats, the Prada (Italy) and the Oracle (USA), are
competing for a spot in the upcoming America’s Cup race. They
race over a part of the course several times. The sample times in
minutes for the Prada were as follows: 12.9, 12.5, 11.0, 13.3,
11.2, 11.4, 11.6, 12.3, 14.2, and 11.3. The sample times in
minutes for the Oracle were as follows: 14.1, 14.1, 14.2, 17.4,
15.8, 16.7, 16.1, 13.3, 13.4, 13.6, 10.8, and 19.0. For data
analysis, the appropriate test is the t test: two-sample assuming
unequal variances.
The next table shows the results of this independent t test. At the
.05 significance level, can you conclude that there is a difference
in their mean times? Explain these results to a person who
knows about the t test for a single sample but who is unfamiliar
with the t test for independent means.
The Willow Run Outlet Mall has two Haggar Outlet Stores, one
located on Peach Street and the other on Plum Street. The two
stores are laid out differently, but both store managers claim
their layout maximizes the amounts customers will purchase on
impulse. A sample of 10 customers at the Peach Street store
revealed they spent the following amounts more than planned:
$17.58, $19.73, $12.61, $17.79, $16.22, $15.82, $15.40, $15.86,
$11.82, $15.85. A sample of 14 customers at the Plum Street
store revealed they spent the following amounts more than they
planned when they entered the store: $18.19, $20.22, $17.38,
$17.96, $23.92, $15.87, $16.47, $15.96, $16.79, $16.74, $21.40,
$20.57, $19.79, $14.83. For data analysis, a t test: two-sample
assuming unequal variances was used.
At the .01 significance level, is there a difference in the mean
amount purchased on an impulse at the two stores? Explain
these results to a person who knows about the t test for a single
sample but who is unfamiliar with the t test for independent
means.
Fry Brothers Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc. employs Larry
Clark and George Murnen to make service calls to repair
furnaces and air conditioning units in homes. Tom Fry, the

Provide a response to the following questions.
Note: Each team member should compute the following questions and
submit them to the Learning Team forum. The team should then discuss
each team member’s answers to ascertain the correct answer for each
question. Once your team has answered all the questions, submit a
finalized team worksheet.
Your research team has been tasked with finding the correlation of the
following scenario:
Four research participants take a test of manual dexterity (high scores
mean better dexterity) and an anxiety test (high scores mean more
anxiety). The scores are as follows:
Person Dexterity Anxiety
1 1 10
2 1 8
3 2 4
4 4 -2
Describe the process your research team would go through by
completing the following:
1. Create a scatter diagram of the scores, which should be a negative
direction.
2. Describe in words the general pattern of correlation, if any.
3. Figure the correlation coefficient.
4. Explain the logic of what you have done, writing as if you are
speaking to someone who has never heard of correlation (but who does
understand the mean, standard deviation, Z scores, and hypothesis
testing).
5. Provide three logically possible directions of causality, indicating
for each direction whether it is a reasonable explanation for the
correlation in light of the variables involved. Explain why.

  • 18. A few months ago, the upper management at a large corporation decided they wanted to make major changes in the organization. Leadership is concerned that employees may be resistant to the change, and they want to find out if there is a change management method that would help employees accept change more effectively and keep employee satisfaction high. Two methods they have considered are the ADKAR Framework and the Prosci Change Management Methodology. The company wants to implement a small change in two departments before they make any major organization changes and would like to test the methods. The corporation uses the Devine Company to measure employee satisfaction with an anonymous survey. Applied Psychology: A large medical facility is experiencing too many missed appointments in its primary and specialty care clinics. The facility has noticed that not all patients respond well to reminder calls regarding follow-up appointments. Some patients do not answer calls and do not seem to respond to voice mail requesting they call the facility. The result is that many follow up appointments are missed. Management has read articles that people respond very well to text messages and would like to see which method provides the least amount of missed
  • 19. appointments. Missed appointments are tracked in the facility database on a monthly basis. General Psychology: Clinicians at a small clinic have been introduced to a new method to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in their clients for veterans. Research indicates that virtual reality (VR) is a highly effective treatment option for patients with PTSD. Currently, the clinic uses only cognitive processing therapy (CPT) with their patients suffering from PTSD. The clinicians would like to find out whether VR therapy has different results from CPT therapy. The measure used by the clinic to measure PTSD symptoms is the Combat Exposure Scale. Both therapies need to be applied for a minimum of 12 weeks to be effective. Write a 525- to 750-word paper that addresses the following for your chosen scenario: Clearly define the problem or issue you are addressing. Provide a brief background of any research you have found that might affect your research hypothesis.
  • 20. Create a research hypothesis based on the information provided in each scenario. You will be given a data set with two sets of interval data (just the numbers, as you must decide what they represent, such as method A results or method B results). This means you are going to test one thing against another, such as which method works best (step 1 of the steps to hypothesis testing). State the null and research hypotheses. Explain whether these hypotheses require a one-tailed test or two-tailed test, and explain your rationale. Describe the sample you will use. Sample size will be 30 for each group, which will be provided in your data set. Explain what type of sampling you selected. You may create your own data set if you want, as it is only hypothetical—you do not need to collect any data. Do you think you would also collect some descriptive data, such as gender, age, or shift? Why do you think it makes sense to collect descriptive data? Format your paper according to APA guidelines. Example
  • 21. You have a hypothesis that two drugs have different effects on lowering anxiety. You would have anxiety scores for drug A and anxiety scores for drug B (all after 4 weeks of treatment) to run inferential analysis after 4 weeks. Null hypothesis is H0: drug A = drug B Research hypothesis is H1: drug A ≠ drug B Dependent variable: Anxiety score changed after treatment. Independent variable: drug treatment Because you did not state a direction in your hypotheses (better than or worse than), this will be a two-tailed test. You are looking for differences in either direction. You would set your alpha level of .05 and have a sample for each group of 30 people that were volunteers for the study. ============================================== PSY 315 Week 3 Practice Problem Worksheet (Version 7) For more course tutorials visit www.newtonhelp.com
