Suppose you have a sample of 35 children with antisocial tendencies and you are particularly interested in the emotion of surpri
se. You find that while the average 10 year old has a score of 13.10 on the emotion recognition scale, your sample of 10 year old children with antisocial tendencies has an average score of 14.35 with a standard deviation of 4.63. A higher score represents that it took a higher degree of emotional expression for the child to correctly identify the emotion of surprise, indicating greater difficulty recognizing the emotion. Assume that scores on the emotion recognition scale are normally distributed.
The null hypothesis is that your sample of children with antisocial tendencies would have no more difficulty recognizing emotion than the general population of 10-year olds. Stated using symbols:_________________
(a). this is a ______
(b) tailed test. Given what you know, you will evalute this hypothesis using a _____
(c) statistic.In order to use the t distribution, you will first need to determine the degrees of freedom
(df) for alpha=.05. The degrees of freedom is: _____
(d). The critical value of t is:_____
(e) Calculate the t statistics. To do this, you will first have to calculate the estimated standard error. The estimated standard error is ____
(f). The t statistic is _____
(g). (Hint: for the most precise results, retain four significant figures from your calculation of the standard error to calculate the t statistic.)
The t statistic ______
(h) lie in the critical region. Therefore, you ____
(i) reject the null hypothesis.
Based on the results of this test, there ____
(j) enough evidence to conclude that children with antisocial tendencies have greater difficulty recognizing surprise than do children without antisocial tendencies:
Options for b: two- or one-
Options for c: z or t
Options for d: 33, 34, 35, 36
Options for e: .549, 2.032, 1.691, 1.645
Options for f: 0.38, 4.63, 0.78, 35
Options for g: 2.45, 1.60, 3.19, 3.30
Options for h: does not OR does
Options for i: cannot OR can
Options for j: is OR is not
