1 True or False 2.4 points If we are testing to determine if a new training program is effective and we reject the null hypothesis, it means the training program is effective. True False

A strength coach is interested in comparing three types of training that vary by exercise intensity, and a research study is planned using a sample of 36 collegiate (ages 18 and up) males randomly assigned to groups (n = 12 for each group). At the end of the training program, all participants are tested on the mile run, and times are recorded to determine if any differences in mile times exist between groups. If the "p-value" of the corresponding statistical test is below the a priori significance level of 0.05, then the likelihood of observing a between-group difference in mile times as big as the one found in this study (in a world where training had no effect on mile time) is greater than 5%. true or false?

True or False: A researcher ran a Paired Samples T-test for comparisons of two means and obtained a value of p < 0.001. They should reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the two groups in question have different means in the underlying population.

Suppose a researcher wants to study the effectiveness of a new job skills training program for people who have not been able to hold a job. Fourteen people who have not been able to get a job are selected for the study. Six of these people are randomly assigned to an experimental group to go through the special training program (Group 1). The other 8 volunteers are put in a control group (Group 2) that goes through an ordinary job skills program. After training (of whichever type), they are placed in similar jobs. One month later, they are rated on performance. The results are below: Special Training Ordinary Training By hand, using the five steps of hypothesis testing, test the hypothesis that the two training programs lead to different levels of performance using α = .05 (i.e., significance level = .05). Restate the question as a research hypothesis and a null hypothesis about the populations. Determine the characteristics of the comparison distribution.
