Question

I have till 5/9/16 to turn this in. This is a take home exam and I desperately need the answers to keep my A in this class.

  1. One sample of n = 5 scores has a variance of s2 = 10 and a second sample of n = 10 scores has s2 = 20. If the pooled variance is computed for these two samples, then the value obtained will be ________.
    1. Cannot be determined without more information.
    2. Closer to 20 than to 10
    3. Closer to 10 than to 20
    4. Exactly half way between 10 and 20

  1. As the observed frequencies get closer to the expected frequencies, the value of the chi-square statistic:
    1. Increases.
    2. Decreases.
    3. Does not change.
    4. Not enough information provided.
  2. Under what circumstances should the chi-square statistic NOT be used?
    1. If fe > 5 for any cell.
    2. If fe < 5 for any cell.
    3. If fe = fo for any cell.
    4. None of the other options is correct.

    1. Assume this is an independent samples experiment. What are the resulting t statistic, degrees of freedom, and critical value for an alpha of .05 with two tails? What should we conclude from these data?

    1. Assume this is a dependent samples experiment. What are the resulting t statistic and degrees of freedom.
