Produce a research proposal in outline form for related depe

Produce a research proposal in outline form, for related (dependent) t test. Include tables as noted in the example below.

Present a brief research proposal that follows this outline:

The research topic under investigation

Methods – your basic research design including the IV and DV

< >

What is your population

What is your sample

How will you select your sample

How will you assign participants

Include a table to show the design of the research

< >

What will be the measurement

How will you analyze these data

State the hypotheses for H₀ and H₁

State the criteria for a decision

include a and all applicable df’s

Solution

The Test Statistic:

The test statistic is different depending on whether… – the variance is unknown, but assumed to be equal to population – the variance is unknown, but NOT assumed to be equal to population.

The research topic under investigation:

Methods:

   1. Literature Review (mini-review) :

• how have others done it? – Data Collection – Description, Synthesis, and/or Analysis

2. Yours Methods:

• How are you going to collect describe & analyze data? – BE EXPLICIT

What is your population: A group (generally of people but may also be organisations artifacts etc.,) that the research will discuss through samples and generalisations.

What is your sample:

A subset of cases drawn from a population; used to generalise to the population.

How will you select your sample:

     The t-test is used to compare the values of the means from two samples and test whether it is likely that the samples are from populations having different mean values.

When two samples are taken from the same population it is very unlikely that the means of the two samples will be identical. When two samples are taken from two populations with very different means values, it is likely that the means of the two samples will differ.

How will you assign participants:

1.Compute a within-groups (paired samples) t-test for the mood scores from the jealousy data.

2.Compute a between-subjects (independent means) t-test examine sex differences in variables from Monicas thesis data

3.Compute a between-groups t-test examining sex differences among college students in campus behavior.

4.Compute a between-groups t-test to examine whether males and females differ significantly on this variable

State the hypotheses for H0 and H1:

The difference between the population means (1- 2) does not equal the hypothesized difference (0).
