ANOVA, Chi-Square Tests, and Regression
Complete the following problems within this Word document. Do not submit other files. Show your work for problem sets that require calculations. Ensure that your answer to each problem is clearly visible. You may want to highlight your answer or use a different type color to set it apart.
Criterion: Explain the relationship between k and power based on calculated k values.
Instructions: Read the following and answer the questions.
Work through the following and write down what you see in the F-table. This will help familiarize you with the table.
The F-table: The degrees of freedom for the numerator (k − 1) are across the columns; the degrees of freedom for the denominator (N − k) are across the rows in the table. A separate table is included for a .05 and .01 level of significance.
Suppose we have a sample size of 24 participants (N = 24). Record the critical values given the following values for k:
.05
.01
k = 2
k = 4
k = 6
k = 8
___
___

As k increases (from 1 to 8), does the critical value increase or decrease? Based on your answer, explain how k is related to power.

Criterion: Calculate post hoc analyses in SPSS.
Data: Use SPSS data from Problem Set 4.3.
Instructions: Complete the following steps:
a. In the Toolbar, click Analyze, select Compare Means, and then select One-Way ANOVA.
b. Select Fat then click Arrow to send it over to the Dependent List box.
c. Select Stress, then click Arrow to send it over to the Factor box.

e. Click OK and copy and paste the output to the Word document.
Criterion: Interpret Tukey HSD results from SPSS output.
Data: Use your output from Problem Set 4.6.
Instructions: Identify where significant differences exist at the .05 level between the stress levels.
Criterion: Explain changes in critical value based on calculations.
Instructions: Read the following and answer the questions.
The chi-square table. The degrees of freedom for a given test are listed in the column to the far left; the level of significance is listed in the top row to the right. These are the only two values you need to find the critical values for a chi-square test.
Work through the following exercise and write down what you see in the chi-square table. This will help familiarize you with the table.
1. Record the critical values for a chi-square test, given the following values for k at each level of significance:
.10
.05
.01
k = 10
___
___
___
k = 16
___
___
___
k = 22
___
___
___
k = 30
___
___
___
Note: Because there is only one k given, assume this is a goodness-of-fit test and compute the degrees of freedom as (k − 1).
2. As the level of significance increases (from .01 to .10), does the critical value increase or decrease? Explain. ___________________________________
3. As k increases (from 10 to 30), does the critical value increase or decrease? Explain your answer as it relates to the test statistic. ___________________________________
Criterion: Identify parametric tests.
Instructions: Based on the scale of measurement for the data, identify if a test is parametric or nonparametric.
Criterion: Use SPSS for a chi-square analysis.

1. A researcher measures fear as the time it takes to walk across a presumably scary portion of campus. The times (in seconds) that it took a sample of 12 participants were 8, 12, 15, 13, 12, 10, 6, 10, 9, 15, 50, and 52. ___________________________________
2. Two groups of participants were given 5 minutes to complete a puzzle. The participants were told that the puzzle would be easy. In truth, in one group, the puzzle had a solution (Group Solution), and in the second group, the puzzle had no solution (Group No Solution). The researchers measured stress levels and found that frustration levels were low for all participants in Group Solution and for all but a few participants who showed strikingly high levels of stress in Group No Solution. ___________________________________
3. A researcher measured student scores on an identical assignment to see how well students perform for different types of professors. In Group Adviser, their professor was also their adviser; in Group Major, their professor taught in their major field of study; in Group Nonmajor, their professor did not teach in their major field of study. Student scores were ranked in each class, and the differences in ranks were compared. ___________________________________
4. A researcher has the same participants rank two types of advertisements for the same product. Differences in ranks for each advertisement were compared. ___________________________________
A professor measures student motivation before, during, and after a statistics course in a given semester. Student motivation was ranked at each time in the semester, and the differences in ranks were co
