I. Identify the appropriate statistical test for each of the following cases.
___________1. It used when the researcher wants to compare the means on some dependent
variable for several groups as defined by various levels of the independent
variable. The researcher wants to find out whether or not significant
differences exist among K groups.
____________2. It is used when one likes to test whether 2 populations have different
means. The interest of the researcher is to find out whether the difference
calculated between 2 correlated samples is statistically significant or not.
____________3. It is an extension of ANOVA where the main effects and interactions are
assessed after the effects of some concomitant variables have been
removed.
___________4. The test is used when the researcher wants to find out whether or not
variables are correlated, and to describe the nature and magnitude of
relationship.
___________5. It allows the researcher not only to test the significance of group differences
(based on the levels of the two IV’s), but also to test for any interaction
effezcts between levels of IV’s.
___________6. The test allows the researcher to determine not only the relationship among
variables but more important to address cause and effect relationship among
them.
___________7. The test is used when studying the correlation between variables where the
data are in the strength of ordinal scale.
___________8. It is typically used to analyze the relationship between two variables when
these conditions are met: (Jaccard & Becker, Stat for BS, 1997). (1) Both
variables are qualitative in nature (that is, measured on a nominal level);
(2) the two variables have been measured on the same individuals; (3) The
observations on each variable are between-subjects in nature. It tests the
goodness of fit between observed and expected frequencies.
___________9. It is a statistical technique used to estimate cause and effect relationship
between an ordinal variable and a set of categorical and/or continuous
variables .
__________10. It may be used as a model for testing a hypothesis about the mean of a
normally distributed population. Typically, the procedure is used to
determine whether the population of interest differs significantly from the
norm group using a one sample test.
II. Discuss the hypothesis testing procedures. (Use the back-page when necessary)
III. Solve the following problems.
Case 1 : An educational researcher was interested in the effects of various types of

performance feedback on teachers’ self-esteem. To examine the
relationship between these two variables, she had 15 people take a general
knowledge test. Five participants were randomly assigned to a positive
feedback condition where, irrespective of actual performance, they were
informed that they had scored at a very high level. Another five participants
were randomly assigned to a negative feedback condition and informed that
they had performed poorly. A final group of five constituting a controlled
condition were not provided with any feedback regarding their test scores.
All participants then responded to a measure of self-esteem. Scores on this
measure could range from 0 to 10, with higher values indicating greater
self-esteem. The data for the experiment are listed in Table 1. Use a one-
way analysis of variance to test for a relationship between the type of
feedback and self-esteem.

Case 2: Suppose we were interested in analyzing the effect of gender and age
category on income. Eight different groups of employees are created;
one for each combination of gender and age category. The independent
variables for this study would consist of gender and age category, and the
dependent variable would be income. The study addressed the following
research questions:
1. Are there significant mean differences for income between male and
female employees?
2. Are there significant mean differences for income by age category
among employees?
3. Is there a significant interaction on income between gender and age
category?
Results of the Factorial Analysis of Variance are summarized in

Case 3: A study was conducted to determine the impact of organizational
effectiveness on institutional performance measured in terms of graduates’
performance in licensure examinations. Organizational effectiveness as an
independent variable was assessed using ten factors, namely: leadership,
staff development, customer service, performance improvement, training,
change management, communications, employee engagement, planning, and
employee relations. The data gathered were subjected to regression
analysis and the results are summarized in Tables 3 and 4.
Analyze and interpret the results.
