week 4 hypothesis testing

/in /by

you have read about hypothesis tes and will now apply this knowledge by writing a pp that addresses the following:Provide an example of a hypothesis where a one-tailed hypothesis test would be used.Provide an example of a hypothesis where a two-tailed hypothesis test would be used.If a researcher has set alpha at 0.05 for a two-tailed hypothesis test, what is the p-value required to reject the null hypothesis?A researcher has set alpha at 0.05. When the researcher analyzes the data from the experiment using a software program, she obtains a p-value equal to 0.932. Based on this p-value, should the researcher reject the null hypothesis or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Please explain your ans.A researcher has set alpha at 0.01. When the researcher analyzes the data from the experiment using a software program, he obtains a p-value equal to 0.04. Based on this p-value, should the researcher reject the null hypothesis or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Please explain your answA researcher is interested in whether music played during an exa will improve exa performance. Students in one class listen to music during an exm and students in another class take the exm in silence. The researcher set alpha at 0.05. Test scores for both classes are compared using a statistical software program. The mean test score for the class that listened to music during the exm is 95, while the mean test score for the class that took the exa in silence is 82. The obtained p-value from the independent groups t-test is 0.02. Be sure to answer the following questions:State the null and alternative hypothesis.Determine if this is a directional or non-directional tes. Please explain your ans.Establish the conclusion of this study based on the p-value and the means provided.Describe the Type I error for this study.Describe the Type II error for this study.Length:1-2 pgYour pp  should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIUlBrvqyyoPlease watch the original documentary “Quiet Rage” done in the 70s.  After you watch the film, you will submit your responses to 5 questions.  Fun fact:  Dr. Zimbardo has come to speak on the campus of PCC more than once and people always stay around to take pictures and ask questions!  He’s a psychology rock star!DirectionsPlease retype the questions when you are ready to submit your answers.  Please note that to get full points on these questions, you are to give thoughtful responses.  Answers less than 5 sentences will not earn full credit. Refer to terms learned in your readings where necessary.Referring to your textbook terms, what could have prevented “good guards” from objecting or overruling the orders from tough or bad guards?If you were a prisoner, would you have been able to endure the experience? What would you have done differently than those subjects did? If you were imprisoned in a “real” prison for five years or more, could you take it?Referring to your textbook terms, what factors might make the prisoners attribute brutality by the guards  to their character, rather than to the situation the guards were in?What police procedures are used during arrests, and how do these procedures lead people to feel confused, fearful, and dehumanized?Knowing what this research says about the power of prison situations to have a corrosive effect on human nature, what recommendations would you make about changing the correctional system in the US?
