State the null hypothesis where age at enrollment is used to predict the time for completion of an RN
Problem: State the null hypothesis where age at enrollment is used to predict the time for completion of an RN to BSN program.
Problem: Why have the values in the equation changed slightly from the first analysis?
Problem: Do the example data meet the assumptions for the independent samples t -test? Provide a rationale for your answer.
Problem: What are the means for two group’s wages earned?
Problem: Read the following article:
Kim, J.S., Chung, S.H., Park, Y.J., & Kang, H.Y. (2012). The effectiveness of an aquarobic exercise program for patients with osteoarthritis. Applied Nursing Research, 25 (3), 181-189. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apnr.2010.10.001
- Define precisely the target population to which the statistical analysis can be generalized.
-
List all dependent/outcome variables
- Identify specifically how the researcher(s) operationalized it.
- Identify the level of measurement.
- List the main independent/explanatory variable in the study.
-
List all instances of
t
-tests in this article.
- Formulate a null hypothesis for each test.
- State in a sentence what the associated probability value indicates.
-
In Table 5, the authors show "changes in dependent variables between the experimental and control groups"; however, the authors did not conduct paired
t
-tests, but independent-sample
t
-tests.
- What outcome measures were compared across the two groups?
- What are the possible ramifications of doing an inappropriate test?
- List the main independent/explanatory variable in the study.
-
State the null hypothesis for each Pearson’s
r
correlation in Table 1.
- What do the "statistically significant" findings imply?
- What evidence does the author provide that the assumptions of the linear regression model and the Pearson’s r correlation are met?
