Necessary components of a full hypothesis test


Q1) Bandura, Blanchard, and Ritter (1969) conducted an experiment that provided individuals with one of four treatments for their intense fear of snakes. One group worked with a model - a person who handled a 4-foot king snake and encouraged others to imitate her. One group watched a film of adults and children who enjoyed progressively closer contact with a king snake. A third group received desensitization therapy, and a fourth group served as a control, receiving no treatment. The numbers of snake-approach responses after treatment are listed in the table. A higher number of snake-approach responses indicates that the individual was willing to approach a snake more often.

Perform a hypothesis test to determine if there is a significant difference between the groups in the number of snake-approach responses.  Show all necessary components of a full hypothesis test, including a source table.

Q2) What is the effect size for this result? Is this a large effect?

Q3) An employer wants to know what types of activities encourage her employees to exercise.  The first month, she gave out information on the health benefits of exercise; the second, she sent daily emails encouraging physical activity; and in the third month, she gave health insurance bonuses for amount of exercise.  She recorded the number of times 4 of her employees exercised in each of the three months.  Can she determine if there is a significant difference in the number of days exercised between the three types of activities?  Again, show all necessary components of a hypothesis test, including a source table.

4) Calculate a Tukey's HSD post-hoc test for the difference between Month 2 and Month 3.  Is the difference significant?  Was a post-hoc test necessary to determine this?

5) A market testing company wants to know if there is a difference in preference between two new types of chocolate bar.  They also want to know if there is a gender difference.

a) How many cells would this ANOVA have?

b) What are the independent and dependent variables?

c) Here is the source table for this study.  Write a conclusion for these results.

Q7) What type of ANOVA is the source table in #6 for?

Q8) What is the main factor that differentiates whether you should calculate a t statistic or an F statistic?

Q9) How many types of ANOVA have we covered?  What feature or features distinguish between them?

Q10) Look back to the graphic you created to help you choose which z or t test to use (or use one of the graphics from the answer key).  Modify the graphic to include the different types of ANOVA from this unit.
