John is interested in determining if a new teaching method, the Involvement Technique, is
effective in teaching algebra to first graders. John randomly samples six first graders from all
first graders within the Lawrence City School System and individually teaches them algebra with
the new method. Next, the pupils complete an eight-item algebra test. Each item describes a
problem and presents four possible answers to the problem. The scores on each item are 1 or 0
where 1 indicates a correct response, and 0 indicates a wrong response. The SPSS data file contains six cases, each with eight item scores for the algebra test.
-
Compute total scores for the algebra test from the item scores. A one-sample t test
will be computed on the total scores. - What is the test value for this problem?
- Conduct a one-sample t test on the total scores. On the output, identify the following:
- Mean algebra score
- t test value
- p value
4. Given the results of the children’s performance on the test, what should John conclude? Write a Results section based on your analyses.
6. Conduct a paired-samples t test on these data. On your output, identify the
following:
- mean IAM score for husbands
- mean IAM score for wives
- t test value
- p value
7. Write a Results section in APA style based on your output.
8. create a boxplot to show the differences between husbands’and wives’IAM scores.

10. Including Sundays and any other day of the week, how many times per year would you say that you attend church? Respondent 1 answered 52. Respondent 2 answered 30. Respondent 3 answered 0, Respondent 4 answered 10, Respondent 5 answered 40, Respondent 6 answered 0, Respondent 7 answered 5, Respondent 8 answered 36, Respondent 9 answered 25, Respondent 10 answered 15, Respondent 11 answered 38, Respondent 12 answered 52, Respondent 13 answered 2, Respondent 14 answered 2, Respondent 15 answered 40.
The research question is, is there a relationship between frequency of church attendance and the level of understanding of basic Christian doctrine? Create a file containing one variable for each item on the survey (for a total of 10). You will score each individual survey and enter the values into the appropriate column of the SPSS data file.
-
You will enter the scores for each survey into your SPSS data file under the corresponding variable, case by case. 15 surveys, you will have 15 cases (rows), Scores for items 1,2, 3, 5, 7, 8, and 9 are as follows:
Strongly agree = 5
Agree = 4
Neither agree nor disagree = 3
Disagree = 2
Strongly disagree = 1 - Scores for items 4 and 6 are reversed. Scores for items 4 and 6 are as follows:
Strongly agree = 1
Agree = 2
Neither agree nor disagree = 3
Disagree = 4
Strongly disagree = 5
- For Item 10, you will simply enter the exact number that the respondent filled in on the survey (for example, 10 or 63 etc.) under the appropriate variable in the SPSS data file …. the original research question is about the relationship between church attendance and understanding of Christian doctrine. We have one variable that represents church attendance (item 10), and compare it to a total score that represents doctrinal understanding. After you have entered all of your survey data, create a new variable called Tot_Und (which is shorthand for "total understanding"). Define this variable as the sum of items 1 through 9.
- Phase 3. I need SPSS output file and graph.
Phase 4. write a short APA-style Results section that presents the results of the statistical test as well as interprets these results in light of the research question. The Results section should be 1-2 paragraphs long, and it must include:
- The results of your analysis, including the value of the appropriate test statistic, the significance level, and any other pertinent information (sample size, etc.)
- Several sentences that interpret these results, including the following information:
- Were the results significant or not?
- Do these results lead you to accept or reject the null hypothesis?
- What are the strengths and weaknesses of the statistical test that was used?
-
Are there any characteristics of the sample or the data collection method that should be taken into consideration when interpreting these results that you would mention briefly to the reader?
3.
Was there any sort of relationship between church attendance and sound doctrinal belief based on these data set? - How generalizable do you think your results are?
