An education researcher is interested in the effect of violent television programs on a child's aggression. Forty children were recruited and divided into two groups. Half of the children watched a violent television program while the other half watched a non-violent program. The children were then placed in small groups, and the researcher rated the level of aggressiveness of each child. Which statistical test would be best to determine if there is a significant difference between groups? A. One-sample t-test B. Dependent samples t-test C. Independent samples t-test D. ANOVA

Select the appropriate statistical test for the following scenario: You are interested in assessing if there is a significant relationship between a student's major (psychology or biology) and the number of hours spent studying. You selected different individuals who studied psychology and placed them in the "psychology" group, and different individuals who studied biology and placed them in the "biology" group. Then you measured the number of hours spent studying. Which statistical test would you use for this study? Dependent t-test Independent t-test Two-Way ANOVA Correlation

In a fictional study, a pretest-posttest design was used to examine the influence of a television program on children's aggressiveness. The number of aggressive responses was measured during an observation period both before and after the television program. Perform the six steps of hypothesis testing using the following data to determine if there is a difference in the number of aggressive behaviors in children after having viewed the television program. Conduct all steps for hypothesis testing to determine if there is a statistically significant difference in the number of aggressive acts committed between the conditions of violent TV viewing: Table: TV and Aggressiveness Participant Before After 1 12 12 2 6 12

A researcher thinks that watching violent television increases aggressive behavior in children. To test this hypothesis, she randomly assigns 48 children into one of 3 groups (no violent TV, a little violent TV, or a lot of violent TV) and observes their playground behavior for three weeks, measuring it for violence and intensity. For the variable "amount of TV" (as it appears in this problem), what is the scale of measurement? Nominal, Ordinal, Interval, or Ratio? The variable "amount of TV" (as it appears in this problem) is a variable. The variable "amount of TV" (as it appears in this problem) is the: What is the appropriate test for this study?
