    Spss Exercises - Chapter 6

    Uploaded by

    Woon Zhen Tan
    The document describes exercises from an SPSS statistics textbook. It provides data on daily high temperatures for two different months. It then asks a series of multiple choice and short answer questions about performing and interpreting independent samples t-tests, paired samples t-tests, and one sample t-tests on the temperature data. The questions assess identifying the appropriate t-test for different situations and interpreting the results based on the calculated t and p-values.

    SPSS EXERCISES – CHAPTER 6

    For questions 1 and 2, suppose a computer software program such as SPSS performs
    a t test and produces a p-value of .007.
    1. Should the null-hypothesis be rejected
    a. at the α=.01 level of significance?
    b. at the α=.05 level of significance?
    c. at the α=.10 level of significance?
    2. What is the probability of making a Type 1 error if the null hypothesis is
    rejected?

    Suppose that, over the years, forecasters have determined the

    temperatures for each of the 28 days of the month are as follows. Use this data for questions
    3-6.

    date high date high


    temp. temp.
    1 28 15 29
    2 27 16 36
    3 32 17 35

    11 19 25 30
    12 18 26 30
    13 20 27 35
    14 24 28 39

    3. What type of t-test compares the mean of this data to the mean of , representing the
    mean over time?
    4. Input data into SPSS and perform the appropriate t-test. What is the value of t?
    5. What is the value of p?
    6. Write a short summary of the results based upon α=.05, making reference to p.

    The data below shows the high temperatures during February the year before the
    data from Questions 3-6 was collected. Use this data to answer questions 7-10.
    date high date high
    temp. temp.
    1 41 15 30
    2 32 16 36
    3 36 17 35

    12 24 26 28
    13 20 27 24
    14 26 28 19

    7. What type of t-test compares the mean of the values above to the mean of the values for
    the previous year?
    8. Input data into SPSS and perform the appropriate t-test. What is the value of t?
    9. What is the value of p?
    10. Write a short summary of the results based upon α=.05, making reference to p.

    Use the data from questions 3-6, as well as the knowledge that, in that year, February
    2, 3, 9, 10, 16, 17, 23, and 24 fell on weekends, to answer questions 11-14.

    11. What type of t-test compares the mean high temperature on the weekends to the mean
    high temperature on weekdays?
    12. Input data into SPSS and perform the appropriate t-test. What is the value of t?
    13. What is the value of p?
    14. Write a short summary of the results based upon α=.05, making reference to p.

    ANSWERS

    1. a. yes
    b. yes
    c. yes
    2. .007

    3. one-sample t-test
    4. -3.73
    5. .001
    6. The mean high temperature of differed significantly from the normal high temperature
    ◦
    of 34 during the month of February (p=.001).

    7. paired-samples t-test
    8. -2.35
    9. .027
    10. A p-value of 0 7 indicates that the two years’ mean high temperatures during February

    12. .618
    13. .542
    14. High temperatures on weekdays (29.15◦) and on weekend days (27.25◦) during the month of
