Question
14. Dr. Antonio believes that you can predict people’s choice of mate from their personal inventory of characteristics (PIC; measured 1-15). He administers the PIC to 100 students on campus and has those students rate the likelihood of dating a group of 10 co-eds (mate choice is measured on a 1-100 scale; 10 pts for each co-ed).
Please be sure to answer all the questions #1-#10. Most people do not answer it all the way *************
1.What are the researcher’s independent and dependent variables?
a.Independent=______________________________
b.Dependent=_______________________________
2. What are the null and alternative hypotheses (use the appropriate symbols not words)?
a.H0=__________________
b.H1=__________________
3.What is the appropriate test for the researcher to use?__________________
4.Why is that statistic appropriate?
If applicable to the specific test:
1.What are the test’s assumptions? N/A
2.What are the test’s df? N/A
3.What is the appropriate critical value? N/A
4.If the research obtains a test statistic of ____ , would the researcher retain or reject H0? N/A
5.Should the researcher do any follow up tests or make any graphs/charts? N/A
6.Interpret the findings in APA style
Explanation / Answer
1.What are the researcher’s independent and dependent variables?
a. Independent variable =personal inventory of characteristics
b. Dependent variable =people’s choice
2.
The null hypothesis
Ho: personal inventory of characteristics and people’s choice are independent
The alternative hypothesis
H1: personal inventory of characteristics and people’s choice are dependent
3. the appropriate test for the researcher use is Chi –square test
4. because the data is qualitative data .
1. assumptions are a) each frequency >5
2.degrees of freedom, df =n-1
=10-1
=9
3. critical value - Chi-square t(0.05, 99) =123.23
