Chapter 7 - Hypothei Tet Applied to Mea 7.1 Ditributio of 100 radom umber: mea(dv) = 4.46 t. dev(dv) =.687 var(dv) = 7. 7.3 Doe the Cetral Limit Theorem work? The mea ad tadard deviatio of the ample are 4.46 ad.69. The mea ad tadard deviatio are very cloe to the other parameter of the populatio from which the ample wa draw (4.5 ad.7, repectively.) The mea of the ditributio of mea i 4.45, which i cloe to the populatio mea, ad the tadard deviatio i 1.0. Populatio Parameter Predictio from Cetral Limit Theorem Empirical Samplig ditributio μ = 4.5 = 4.5 = 4.45 = 7. 7. = 1.44 1.44 5 The mea of the amplig ditributio i approximately correct compared to that predicted by the Cetral Limit theorem. The variace of the amplig ditributio i almot exactly what we would have predicted.. 7.5 The tadard error would have bee maller, becaue it would be etimated by itead of 7.9 15 7.9 5. 7.7 I ued a two-tailed tet i the lat problem, but a oe-tailed tet could be jutified o the groud that we had o iteret i howig that thee tudet thought that they were below average, but oly i howig that they thought that they were above average.
7.9 While the group that wa ear the bottom certaily had le room to uderetimate their performace tha to overetimate it, the fact that they overetimated by o much i igificat. (If they were i the bottom quartile the bet that they could have cored wa at the 5 th percetile, yet their mea etimate wa at the 68 th percetile.) 7.11 Everitt data o weight gai: The Mea gai = 3.01, tadard deviatio = 7.31. t =.. With 8 df the critical value =.048, o we will reject the ull hypothei ad coclude that the girl gaied at better tha chace level. The effect ize i 3.01/7.31 = 0.41. 10 8 6 4 Std.
