2. Test between the means of related groups

3. Test between the means of related groups
Test before and after the experiment.
Say, effect of watching the movie.
t = 26
12x82-(26)2
12-1 = 28
t =
n=12
Note: the class notes summarize Salkind (2004) Chapters 9 to 11

4. Steps for testing 1. Statement of null and research hypothesis
H1: X1 X2
2. Set level of risk
Level of risk of type I error = 5%, or level of significance (p) = 0.05
3. Selection of appropriate test statistic
Choose t test for dependent means
4. Compute the test statistic (obtained t- or p-value)
t= 4.91

5. 5. Determination of the value needed for rejection of null hypothesis
(critical value)
See table B2, pg
Degrees of freedom= n-1 = 12-1 = 11
Level of risk = 0.05
1- tailed test (as directional research hypothesis)
Critical value = (with df=11; see Salkind, p.358)
6. Comparison of obtained and critical value
Obtained t value is larger than the critical t value
Obtained p value is smaller than the critical p value of 0.05.
If you run the test is SPSS/EXCEL you will find that the obtained p
value is smaller than the critical p value of 0.05.
7. Decision
Reject the null hypothesis (null hypothesis- there is NO difference in the
attitude towards density before and after the watching the movie)
Probability is less than 5% on any one test of the null hypothesis that the
average of posttest scores is greater than the average of pretest scores
due to chance alone.

6. Determining which test to choose

Note: the class notes summarize Salkind (2004) Chapters 9 to 11

7. Test between means of different groups
T-test for independent samples
Examining difference between 2 groups on one variable without pretest and posttest.
Simple analysis of variance
If more than 2 groups
Question:
Whether the mean number of transit trips taken in last one month by the residents of neighborhood “1” is different than the mean number of transit trips taken by the residents of neighborhood “2” during the same time period?

8. Steps for testing (see Salkind 2004, p. 164)
1. Statement of null and research hypothesis
H0: Ц1 = Ц2
H1: X1 = X2
2. Set level of risk
Level of risk of type I error = 5%, or level of significance (p) = 0.05
3. Selection of appropriate test statistic
Choose t test for independent samples
4. Compute the test statistic (obtained value)
t= -0.14
Note: the class notes summarize Salkind (2004) Chapters 9 to 11

9. Steps for testing 4. Compute the test statistic (obtained value)
(30-1) (30-1)
x 30 =
t =

10. 5. Determination of the value needed for rejection of null hypothesis
(critical value)
See table B2, pg
Degrees of freedom= 60-2 = 58
Level of risk = 0.05
2- tailed test (as non directional research hypothesis)
Critical value = (with df=60; see Salkind, p.359)
6. Comparison of obtained and critical value
Obtained t value less smaller than the critical t value
Obtained p value is larger than the critical p value of 0.05.
If you run the test is SPSS/EXCEL you will find that the obtained p
value is larger than the critical p value of 0.05.
7. Decision
Fail to reject (accept) null hypothesis (null hypothesis - no difference in
the mean number of transit trips taken by the residents of neighborhood
“1” and “2”.
Probability is greater than 5% that the difference between the groups may
be because of chance.

11. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)

Note: the class notes summarize Salkind (2004) Chapters 9 to 11

12. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)
Test the hypothesis that parents’ education effects the size of household in a neighborhood. One treatment variable (h.h. size), but more than 2 groups (education level).
Say 3 groups
1= some school (up to middle school)
2= less than high school (middle school and above)
3= high school and above
Variance due to differences between individuals within groups and variance due to differences between groups are compared with each other.

13. Steps for testing 1. Statement of null and research hypothesis
H1: X1 = X2 = X3
2. Set level of risk
Level of risk of type I error = 5%,
or level of significance (p) = 0.05
3. Selection of appropriate test statistic
Simple ANOVA
Note: the class notes summarize Salkind (2004) Chapters 9 to 11

14. ANOVA 4. Compute the test statistic (obtained value)
F= (note it is not t statistic this time!)
5. Determination of the value needed for rejection of null hypothesis
(critical value)
See table B3, pg. 362
Degrees of freedom for numerator = k-1 = 3-1 = 2
k = number of groups
Degrees of freedom for denominator (number of observations) = N-k =
30-3 = 27
Level of risk (p) = 0.05
Critical value = 3.36 (see Salkind, p.362)
6. Comparison of obtained and critical value
Obtained F value larger than the critical F value
Obtained p value is smaller than the critical p value of 0.05.
If you run the test in EXCEL/SPSS you will find that the obtained p value
would be smaller than the critical p value of 0.05.

15. ANOVA
7. Decision
Reject the null hypothesis (null hypothesis - there is NO difference
between the groups). The F- value is large enough ( and the p-value is
small enough) for us to say that the difference between the three groups
is not due to chance.
