USE SSPS FOR THIS APPLICATION EXERCISE!!!
A nurse at a health clinic hypothesizes that ear thermometersmeasure lower body temperature than oral thermometers. The nurseselects a sample of healthy staff members and took the temperatureof each with both thermometers. The temperature data are below.What can the nurse conclude with ? = 0.05?
ear | oral |
---|
97.4 98.6 98.9 97.9 99.1 98.2 | 97.4 97.9 96.3 97.4 98.1 97.7 |
a) What is the appropriate test statistic?
---Select--- na, z-test, One-Sample t-test, Independent-Samplest-test, Related-Samples t-test
b)
Condition 1:
---Select--- oral thermometer, body temperature, health clinic,staff members, ear thermometer
Condition 2:
---Select--- oral thermometer, body temperature, health clinic,staff members, ear thermometer
c) Compute the appropriate test statistic(s) tomake a decision about H0.
(Hint: Make sure to write down the null and alternative hypothesesto help solve the problem.)
p-value = ;Decision: ---Select--- Reject H0, Fail to rejectH0
d) Using the SPSS results,compute the corresponding effect size(s) and indicatemagnitude(s).
If not appropriate, input and/or select "na" below.
d = ; ---Select--- na,trivial effect, small effect, medium effect, large effect
r2 = ; ---Select--- na, trivial effect, small effect, mediumeffect, large effect
e) Make an interpretation based on the results.(select one)
-The ear thermometer measured significantly higher temperaturesthan the oral thermometer.
-The ear thermometer measured significantly lower temperaturesthan the oral thermometer.
-There was no significant temperature difference between the earand oral thermometer.
