Sample sizes and standard deviations from the proc ttest


1. Use the REACTIONTIME data set.  We want to see if the mean reaction time is faster for males than for females.

a. Using a = .05, go through the same steps as in problem #2.  Be sure to make the necessary adjustment for this one-sided test.

b. Using the sample sizes and standard deviations from the PROC TTEST printout, calculate the pooled estimate of variance,.

2. Again use the REACTIONTIME data.  We want to test, at a = .05, if the average reaction time is the same for the three types of stimuli.

a. In words (not symbols), write the null and alternative hypotheses.

b. Use PROC ANOVA to analyze this data, and include a corresponding Tukey multiple comparison procedure (use the LINES option).  Turn in the printout.

c. State the p-value of the F-test, and state what we know only from this test.

d. Summarize the results of the Tukey multiple comparison procedure.

e. State MSERROR, and say what we can estimate with this.  Be specific to this situation.
