To prepare for Discussion Part 1 :Review this week’s Learning Resources and media program related to multiple regression.Create a research question using the General Social Survey that can be answered by multiple regression.By Day 3Use SPSS to answer the research question. Post your response to the following:What is your research question?What is the null hypothesis for your question?What research design would align with this question?What dependent variable was used and how is it measured?What independent variable is used and how is it measured?What other variables were added to the multiple regression models as controls?What is the justification for adding the variables?If you found significance, what is the strength of the effect?Explain your results for a lay audience, explain what the answer to your research question.Be sure to support your Main Post and Response Post with reference to the week’s Learning Resources and other scholarly evidence in APA Style.To prepare for Discussion Part 2 :Review Warner’s Chapter 12 and Chapter 2 of the Wagner course text and the media program found in this week’s Learning Resources and consider the use of dummy variables.Create a research question using the General Social Survey dataset that can be answered by multiple regression. Using the SPSS software, choose a categorical variable to dummy code as one of your predictor variables.By Day 3Estimate a multiple regression model that answers your research question. Post your response to the following:What is your research question?Interpret the coefficients for the model, specifically commenting on the dummy variable.Run diagnostics for the regression model. Does the model meet all of the assumptions? Be sure and comment on what assumptions were not met and the possible implications. Is there any possible remedy for one the assumption violations?Be sure to support your Main Post and Response Post with reference to the week’s Learning Resources and other scholarly evidence in APA Style.

2a. The producers of a new toothpaste claim that it prevents more cavities than other brands of toothpaste. A random sample of 60 people used the new toothpaste for 6-months. The mean number of cavities at their next checkup is 1.5. In the general population, the mean number of cavities at a 6-month check-up is 1.73 (0=1.12)Is this a one or two-tailed test?What are the H0 and Ha for this study?Compute Zobt-What is Zev?4a. Henry preformed a two-tailed test for an experiment in which N-24. He could not find his table of t critical values, but he remembered the tcv at df=13. He decided to compare his tobtwith this tcv. Is he more likely to make a Type I or a Type II error in this situation?6a. A researcher hypothesis that individuals who listen to classical music will score differently from the general population on a test of spatial ability. On a standardized test of spatial ability, u=58. A random sample of 14 individuals who listen to classical music is given the same test. Their scores on the test are 52,59,63,65,58,55,62,63,53,59,57,61,60,59.Is this a one or two-tailed test?What are the Ho and Ha for this study?Compute t-obt-What is tcv?Should Ho be rejected? What should the researcher conclude?Determine the 95% confidence interval for the population mean, based on the sample mean.8a. A researcher believes that the percentage of people who exercise in California is greater than the national exercise rate. The national rate is 20%. The researcher gathers random sample of the 20 individuals who live in California and finds that the number who exercise regularly is 31 out of 120.What is the obt?What is the df for this test?What is the cv?What conclusion should be drawn from these results?The researcher in exercise 2 decides to conduct the same study using a within-participants design to control for differences in cognitive ability. He selects a random sample of subjects and has them study different material of equal difficulty in both the music and no music conditions. The study is completely counterbalanced to control for order effects. The data appear next. As before, they are measured on an interval-ratio scale and are normally distributed; he believes that studying under quiet conditions will lead to better performance.MUSIC  NO MUSIC7  76  85  76  78  98  8What statistical test should be used to analyze these data?Identify Ho and Ha for this study.Conduct the appropriate analysis.Should Ho be rejected? What should the researcher conclude?If significant, compute and interpret the effect size.If significant, draw a graph representing the data.Determine 95% confidence interval.Researchers at a food company are interested in how a new spaghetti sauce made from green tomatoes (and green in color) will compare to their traditional red spaghetti sauce. They are worried that the green color will adversely affect the tastiness scores. They randomly assign subjects to either the green or the red sauce condition. Participants indicate the tastiness of the sauce on a 10-point scale. Tastiness scores tend to be skewed. The scores are as follows.Red Sauce  Green Sauce7  46  59  610  86  77  68  9What statistical test should be used to analyze these data?Identify Ho and Ha for this study.Conduct the appropriate analysis.Should Ho be rejected? What should the researcher conclude?You notice in your introductory psychology class that women tend to sit up front, and more men sit in the back. To determine whether this difference is significant, you collect data on the seating preferences for the students in your class. The data follow.  Men  WomenFront of the Room  15    27Back of the Room  32    19What is the obt?What is the dffor this test?What is the cv?What conclusion should be drawn from these results?What are degrees of freedom? How are the calculated?What do inferential statistics allow you to infer?What is the General Linear Model (GLM)? Why does it matter?Compare and contrast parametric and nonparametric statistics. Why and in what types of cases would you use one over the other?Why is it important to pay attention to the assumptions of the statistical test? What are your options if your dependent variable scores are not normally distributed?
