Assignment: Testing Hypotheses for MeansThis week you have explored three different approaches to t tests. By this point, you know that each test has assumptions about the data and type of research questions it can answer. For this Assignment, you will be provided with three scenarios. As you read the scenarios, be sure and think about aligning the appropriate t test with the question. Consider whether the data are independent samples and if two samples are being compared.To prepare for this Assignment:Review the Learning Resources and the media programs related to t tests.For additional support, review the Skill Builder: Research Design and Statistical Design and the Skill Builder: Hypothesis Testing for Independent Samples t-test, which you can find by navigating back to your Blackboard Course Home Page. From there, locate the Skill Builder link in the left navigation pane.Also, review the t test scenarios found in this week’s Learning Resources and consider the three different approaches of t tests:Independent sample t testPaired sample t testOne sample t testBased on each of the three research scenarios provided, open the High School Longitudinal Study dataset or the Afrobarometer dataset from this week’s Learning Resources using SPSS software, then choose and run the appropriate t test.Once you perform your t test analyses, review Chapter 11 of the Wagner text to understand how to copy and paste your output into your Word document.For this Assignment:Write a 2 to 3-paragraph analysis of your t test results for each research scenario and include the SPSS syntax and output. Do not forget to evaluate if the t test assumptions are met, justify the selection of type of t test, and report the effect size. Based on your results, provide an explanation of what the implications of social change might be.Use proper APA format, citations, and referencing for your analysis, research questions, and output.https://laureate.acrobatiq.com/courseware/wal_oct16_Qual_reasoning_11/week_6__research_design__statistical_design__and_hypothesis_testing/sb13__differentiating_research_design_from_statistical_analysis/wbp_research_designhttps://laureate.acrobatiq.com/courseware/wal_oct16_Qual_reasoning_11/week_6__research_design__statistical_design__and_hypothesis_testing/sb14__hypothesis_testing_for_independent_t-tests/wbp_independent_t-test

his assignment is based on the Patients' Use of the Internet for Medical Information article that you read. After you have read the article, you are to answer the following questions in a word document. This week’s article researched a question around Internet use by patients for obtaining health-related information. Using postal-mail delivered surveys mailed to a random sample of 1,000 patients at a practice in 2002, the research would be considered out-of-context today, for sure. However, in 2002, the idea of using the Internet for health information was still relatively new, and its use was increasing rapidly.Consider Table 1 in the article.What level-of-measurement is the variable Annual Income? Explain your choice.Generally (not statistically) characterize how you see Education level and Income as influencing the use of the Internet for health information in this sample.The standard deviation of age is provided for both groups of respondents. Which group has the greater variability? What does this mean in layman’s terms?Why does the standard deviation have a more easily understood meaning than the variance to describe variability?In the study, the authors use an odds ratio to describe the relationship between several variables. Using a source of your choosing, research the meaning of an odds ratio and apply your understanding of it to the relationship between education level and income level to the use of the Internet for health information – that is, interpret the meaning of the authors’ results. The odds ratio values for each relationship are provided in the research.We characterize statistics as inferential or descriptive. How would you characterize the statistics used in this research article – discuss your response.Provide an example from the article where the authors use an ordinal level of measurement Justify your selection.
