QUESTION 2

In a χ2 test of independence between gender and kinds of phobias, the null hypothesis was rejected. The proper conclusion is that

gender and phobias are independent of each other

gender and phobias are related to each other

none of the choices are correct

knowing a person's phobia gives you no clue to his or her gender

QUESTION 5

In a χ2 test of independence between age and personality type, the null hypothesis was rejected. The proper conclusion is

age and personality are related to each other

age and personality are independent of each other

this was the wrong test

age and personality are measured on different scales and cannot be related with statistics

QUESTION 6

Suppose you obtained a Spearman rs of .38 from 26 pairs of scores. For a two-tailed test, such a correlation coefficient should be considered

significant at the .05 level

significant at the .001 level

significant at the .01 level

not statistically significant

QUESTION 7

Suppose a researcher found an rs of .89 between amount of blood cholesterol and the severity of the heart attack. Based on an N of 6 and a two-tailed test, the researcher should conclude

not significant

higher blood cholesterol causes more severe heart attacks

significant at the .05 level

p > .05

QUESTION 8

Nonparametric tests are used rather than a t test or an ANOVA when

the assumption of random assignment is not justified

a null hypothesis cannot be specified

the data are in the form of ranks

the researcher does not know the specific value of the population parameters

QUESTION 10

One common use of statistics in education is to rank a set of universities so the Number 1 is "best" and Number Last is "worst." Suppose you thought that the main variable that determined rank was number of students. Which statistic below should you use to make this comparison?

Chi-Square test

Spearman rs

ANOVA

Paired samples t-test
