Written Test I Flashcards
What is the purpose of an Independent T-Test?
To compare the means of two independent groups.
What test is used to check normality before running an Independent T-Test?
Shapiro-Wilk test.
What steps are involved in running an Independent T-Test?
- Click Analyze > Compare Means > Independent-Samples T Test
- Transfer the dependent variable to Test Variable(s)
- Transfer the grouping variable to Grouping Variable
- Define groups (e.g., 1 for males, 2 for females)
- Click OK.
What should you interpret after running an Independent T-Test?
Check Levene’s test for equality of variances and then the t-test results.
What is the purpose of a Paired T-Test?
To compare means of two related groups.
What is the first step in running a Paired T-Test?
Check Normality: Use Shapiro-Wilk test.
What steps are involved in running a Paired T-Test?
- Click Analyze > Compare Means > Paired-Samples T Test
- Highlight and transfer the two related variables to Paired Variables
- Click OK.
What should you interpret after running a Paired T-Test?
Look for the t-value and p-value in the output.
What is the purpose of a One-Way ANOVA?
To compare means among three or more independent groups.
What is the first step in running a One-Way ANOVA?
Check Normality: Use Shapiro-Wilk test.
What steps are involved in running a One-Way ANOVA?
- Click Analyze > Compare Means > One-Way ANOVA
- Transfer the dependent variable to Dependent List
- Transfer the independent variable to Factor
- Click Options to select Descriptive Statistics and Homogeneity tests
- Click OK.
What should you do if the One-Way ANOVA is significant?
Perform post-hoc tests using Tukey.
What is the purpose of a Two-Way ANOVA?
To compare means across 3 or more independent means with 2 independent variables.
What is the first step in running a Two-Way ANOVA?
Check Normality: Use Shapiro-Wilk test.
What steps are involved in running a Two-Way ANOVA?
- Click Analyze > General Linear Model > Univariate
- Transfer the dependent variable into Dependent Variable
- Transfer both independent variables into Fixed Factor(s)
- Click Options for Descriptive Statistics and Homogeneity tests
- Click OK.
What should you interpret after running a Two-Way ANOVA?
Check main effects and interaction effects.
What is the purpose of the Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient?
To examine the relationship between two continuous variables.
What steps are involved in running a Pearson correlation analysis?
- Click Analyze > Correlate > Bivariate
- Select the two continuous variables
- Ensure Pearson is checked
- Click OK.
What should you interpret after running a Pearson correlation analysis?
Look for the correlation coefficient (r) and p-value.
What is the purpose of Partial Correlation Coefficient?
To examine the relationship between two variables while controlling for the effect of a third variable.
What steps are involved in running a Partial Correlation analysis?
- Click Analyze > Correlate > Partial
- Select the two variables of interest and the control variable
- Click OK.
What should you interpret after running a Partial Correlation analysis?
Review the partial correlation coefficient and p-value.
What is the purpose of Simple Linear Regression?
To predict the value of one continuous variable based on another.
What steps are involved in running a Simple Linear Regression analysis?
- Click Analyze > Regression > Linear
- Transfer the dependent variable to the Dependent box and the independent variable to the Independent box
- Click OK.
