Descriptive Statistics
• Measures of relationship
– Multiple regression
• Shows the relationship of several independent
variables with a dependent variable
• Path Analysis
Application Activity?
• Your students earned the following scores on your
recent test:
• 89, 95, 78, 50, 80, 89, 76
• What scale of measurement are you using?
• What was the range?
• Compute the mean, median and mode.
• What is your distribution like?
• The Null Hypothesis
• Level of Significance
– Type I Error
– Type II Error
• Effect Size
Let’s apply this!
Application Activity
• If the null hypothesis is rejected, we can say that
the observed results proves that the theory we are
testing is true.
• The null hypothesis will be rejected if the sample
data turn out to be _____________
consistent/inconsistent with what one would
expect if it were true.
• Which level of significance offers the greater
protection against Type I errors, .05 or .01?
• Is it possible for a researcher to make both a Type
I error and a Type II error at the same time?
Application Activity
• A researcher tells the superintendent at the
local school that the new curriculum is
statistically significantly superior to the old
curriculum. What question(s) should the
superintendent ask the researcher?
• T-Test:
• Used to compare 2 means
• Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)
– One Way
– Two Way
– Repeated Measures
• Post Hoc and Planned Comparisons
– E.g., Bonferoni, Tukey, Duncan’s, etc.
