Answer:
The calculated t-value is t=0.47.
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>The question is incomplete:</em>
<em>"Americans typically eat quickly and do not spend time enjoying their meal. A researcher plans to test if those trained in mindfulness will take more time to enjoy their meal (that is, they will spend more time eating than the general population). The general population spends an average of 68 minutes per day combined eating their three meals. The researcher trains a sample of 16 individuals in mindfulness and then collects data on how long they spend eating per day. The sample mean for those trained in mindfulness equals 74; the SS = 150. What is the calculated t-value? Round your answer to two decimal places."</em>
The degrees of freedom are (n-1)=(16-1)=15
The standard deviation is:
The t-value can be calculated as:
4(4+2) + 5(5+3)
4x6 + 5x8
24 + 40
64 is your answer
Complete question:
Dr. Lyte wishes to study speed of Reaction Time to press a button in response to the onset of a lamp. The independent variable (V) is the color of the light produced by the lamp (red, orange, yellow, green, or blue) Since only 10 participants are available, she elects to administer the IV within-subjects with all 10 participants being exposed to all five levels of the color variable. The order of the color of the light presentation is to be counterbalanced. Using concepts from the textbook, why would Dr. Lyte need to use counterbalancing in this scenario?
Answer:
Here,
Independent variable (IV) is: the color of the light produced by the lamp (red, orange, yellow, green, or blue)
We are also told only 10 participants are available.
All 10 participants are being exposed to all five levels of the color variable in the same order.
Counterbalancing is said to be a technique used when establishing task order. It helps prevent introduction if cofounding variables.
Dr. Lyte will need to use counterbalancing technique in this scenario because some of the participants may be unable to understand difference in similar colours. Example some participants may not be able to differentiate between orange and red when the red colour comes after orange.
But using counterbalancing technique, Dr. Lyte can avoid such an error.
