    The manufacturers of the Able Chair want to determine the most efficient assembly instructions - text only or text with illustrations. 70 participants were randomly assigned to assemble the chair using either text-only or text with illustrations instructions. Assembly times were recorded. An independent t-test found a statistically significant difference in mean assembly times between the two groups, with the illustrations group assembling the chair faster than the text-only group. This suggests that illustrations facilitate quicker assembly of the Able Chair.

    STATISTICAL TESTS

    Independent-samples t -test (1 categorical independent variable with 2 groups; 1 continuous dependent variable)

    The manufacturers of the ergonomic Able Chair want to determine the most efficient assembly instructions for
    their consumers: (1) Text only or (2) Text with illustrations.
    A researcher recruits a total of 70 participants to assemble the Able Chair. Participants will be scheduled to
    come to the research center one at a time. Upon arriving, each participant will be assigned to one of two groups on an
    alternating basis: Those assigned to Group 1 will be issued text-only assembly instructions; those assigned to Group
    2 will be issued assembly instructions containing text with illustrations.
    Each participant will be guided to a room where there is a new Able Chair in its regular package, a
    screwdriver (the only tool required), and the assembly instructions. The researcher will use a stopwatch to time how
    long it takes each participant to assemble the chair.
    Is there a significant difference on the mean assembly times between the group who was given text-only
    assembly instructions and the group who was given instructions containing text with illustrations? Use 0.05 level of
    significance.
    SPSS Data File: 01 – Independent t Test.sav

    a. What is the independent variable?


    assembly instruction - Text only or Text with illustrations

    b. What is the dependent variable?


    assembly time

    c. How many groups are there for the categorical/ grouping variable?
    two groups

    d. What is the level of data for the dependent variable - categorical or scale?
    scale

    e. Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses.


    H 0 : There is no significant difference on the mean assembly times between the group who was given
    text-only assembly instructions and the group who was given instructions containing text with
    illustrations.

    H 1 : There is a significant difference on the mean assembly times between the group who was given
    text-only assembly instructions and the group who was given instructions containing text with
    illustrations.

    f. Run descriptive statistics and normality plots with tests. Paste the SPSS results here. By examining
    the box plots, is there any significant outlier? If there exists, identify the data value.

    2|rtqcasem
    STATISTICAL TESTS

    NO, there are two outliers, but no extreme (not significant).

    g. Based from the Shapiro-Wilk’s test result in f, do the data sets from the two groups appear to be
    normally distributed? Why do you say so?
    YES,
    Because the p-values (0.155 and 0.986) are both greater than 0.05 level of significance

    h. Run the homoscedasticity test (Levene’s test). Paste the SPSS result here. Is the condition of
    homogeneity of variance satisfied? Why do you say so?

    YES,
    Because the p-value (0.051) is greater than 0.05 level of significance

    i. Considering the results in f-h and test assumptions, can you use the independent-samples t -test to
    analyze the data? Why? If you answered ‘yes’, run the test. If not, make necessary adjustments to
    meet the test requirements, then run the test.
    YES

    STATISTICAL TESTS

    j. Report the test results (including test results of assumptions) following the APA format. Include the
    effect size (Cohen’s d ) if there exists a difference on the means.

    An independent-samples t-test was run to determine if there were differences in assembly times of the
    group who were text instructions and the group who were given text with illustrations instructions.
    There were no significant outliers, as inspection of the box plots. Assembly times for the two groups
    were normally distributed, as assessed by Shapiro-Wilk's test (p > .05). The homogeneity of variances
    assumption is met, as assessed by Levene's test for equality of variances (p = .051 > 0.05). The group
    that received text with illustration instructions had a lower assembly time (92.00 ± 7.87) than the group
    who received text only instructions (97.63 ± 9.90), a statistically significant difference of 5.63 (95% CI,
    1.36 to 9.89), t(68) = 2.633, p = .01, d = 0.63.”

    k. Do illustrations in the instructions facilitate quicker assembly of the Able Chair?


    YES
