7. Below are data showing the results of six subjects on a memory test. The three scores per subject are their scores on three trials (a, b, and c) of a memory task. Are the subjects get-ting better each trial? Test the linear effect of trial for the data. a. Compute L for each subject using the contrast weights -1, 0, and 1. That is, compute (-1)(a) + (0)(b) + (1)(c) for each subject. b. Compute a one-sample t-test on this column (with the L values for each subject) you created. (a) L1 = 3, L2 = 5, L3 = 3, L4 = 6, L5 = 5, L6 = 0 (b) t = 11/3-0/1.284/root 6= 6.995
Solution
thus answer is 22.
t value = 6.995 given
df = 6-1 =5
Hence p value = The P-Value is 0.00092. The result is significant at p < 0.05.
Hence L values can be taken as given i.e. L1 = 3, ...L6 =0
as the difference is not statistically significant.
| a | a*L | b | L | c | L | |

| 4 | -4 | 6 | 0 | 9 | 9 | |
| 2 | -2 | 4 | 0 | 2 | 2 | |
| -16 | 0 | 38 | 22 |
