1Rejecting the null
if the absolute value is greater than critical value
2Retain the null
if absolute value is less than the critical value
3p value alpha is always set at
5%/0.05
4Rejecting with P value
when it’s equal or less than 0.05/5%
5Retain with P value
when it’s greater than 0.05/5% (limbo bar)
6What rejecting means for inferential tests
There is a significant difference between groups and populations
7What retaining means for inferential tests
There is not a significant difference between groups and populations
8Independent test
2 completely seperate groups
9Dependent tests
2 groups but same people
10When to use One sample z test with given information
One sample
population mean
standard deviation
sample size
11When to use One sample t test with given information
One sample
population mean
standard deviation
sample size
sample mean
12When to use independent test with given information
2 samples
different individuals
13When to use dependent test with given information
one sample
same individuals
14First step in a one sample test
hypothesis is the same (population mean)
15first step on in/dependent tests
mu 1 = mu 2 or mu 1 doesn’t equal mu 2
16step 2 in a tests
find the degree of freedom
17step 2 in t tests
the critical the value stays the same at +/- 1.96
18Calculating cohens d
mean divided by standard deviation
19calculating cohens d for one sample test
(sample mean-population mean) divided by standard deviation
20calculating cohens d for independent test
mean 1 - mean 2 divided by pooled standard deviation
21calculating cohens d for dependent test
mean of scores divided by standard deviation of scores
22Small cohens d
d </= 0.2
23medium cohens d
0.2< d < 0.8
24large cohens d
0.8 </= d
25what rejecting means in independent tests
no difference in groups
