Integrated Investigation Results
TTest Practice
| Use a T Test and the following data to address the four questions below for EACH scenario. | ||||||||
| What would be the null hypothesis in this study? | Life satisfaction between old and young falk is the same | Zappin' Rats between Stimulation and No Stimulation | Hot Dog Cateries between Poultry and Beef | |||||
| What is the result of the ttest? | 0.0004736633 | 0.4987301242 | 0.0001136518 | |||||
| Is there a statistically significant difference between the two groups? | Yes, because 0.00047<0.05 | No, because 0.498730124>0.05 | yes, because 0.000114<0.05 | |||||
| Interpret your answer. | old falks and young falks have different life statisfaction | stimulation and no stimulationb in food intake in rats. | Beef and Poultry have different calories. | |||||

| A research study was conducted to examine the differences between older and younger adults on perceived life satisfaction. A pilot study was conducted to examine this hypothesis. Ten older adults (over the age of 70) and ten younger adults (between 20 and 30) were give a life satisfaction test (known to have high reliability and validity). Scores on the measure range from 0 to 60 with high scores indicative of high life satisfaction; low scores indicative of low life satisfaction. The data are presented below. Compute the appropriate t-test. | A researcher hypothesizes that electrical stimulation of the lateral habenula will result in a decrease in food intake (in this case, chocolate chips) in rats. Rats undergo stereotaxic surgery and an electrode is implanted in the right lateral habenula. Following a ten day recovery period, rats (kept at 80 percent body weight) are tested for the number of chocolate chips consumed during a 10 minute period of time both with and without electrical stimulation. The testing conditions are counter balanced. Compute the appropriate t-test for the data provided below. | (Data taken from Moore and McCabe – Introduction to the Practice of Statistics) A U.S. magazine, Consumer Reports, carried out a survey of the calorie and sodium content of a number of different brands of hotdog. There were three types of hotdog: beef, ’meat‘ (mainly pork and beef but can contain up to 15% poultry) and poultry. The results below are the calorie content of the different brands of beef and poultry hotdogs. | ||||||

TTest Study
| Using SOME of the data from the "Student Demographic Data" GoogleSheet, address the following prompts: | Copy-Paste ONLY the columns of data that you need from the GoogleSheet to the right | Which food people like more ? | Number of people | ||||
| What is you hypothesis? | Pepole that like Junk food than the other like natural food. | Junk Food | 8 | ||||
| Junk Food | 7 | ||||||
| What is your null hypothesis? | People like difference Between junk and natural food. | Junk Food | 20 | ||||
| Junk Food | 14 | ||||||
| What is your independent variable? | junk and natural food | Junk Food | 6 | ||||
