Model Reports for One-Sample T-Tests

Model Reports Relevant to the Exam This document contains Model Reports which are relevant to the Exam. We strongly encourage you to include some of the model reports on the A4 sheet you can take into the exam. This document is in Word format so that you can easily copy and paste the relevant reports onto your A4 sheet. Note: We've provided lots of model reports and they cover a variety of possibilities. So, for example, in the one sample t-test you'll find three model reports: for a significant t-test where the results supported the hypothesis; one report where the t-test was significant but the direction of the difference was contrary to expectations; and one report where the t-test was not significant. Note: The word 'random' when referring to the sample should only be used if it is clear that a random sample of participants was selected. If you compare the three different one-sample t-test reports on the age of tourists in Katatonia you'll see that they all have the same basis, with just minor changes for the three different outcomes. There would be no need to include all of these reports on your A4 sheet. If you just include one of the significant one-sample t-test reports, for example, you should be able to modify the report to suit any of the possible outcomes. One Sample t-test A study was conducted to investigate if the age of tourists visiting Katatonia is higher than it was in 1995. In a random sample of 250 tourists in Katatonia, the average age was 47.77 years (s = 15.41 years). This is higher than the average age of 45 years recorded in 1995, and one-sample t-test shows that this difference in mean age is significant, t(249) = 2.84, p = . 005. The 95% confidence interval indicates the average age of tourists is between 0.85 and 4.69 years higher than it was in 1995. As expected, the age of tourists in Katatonia is higher than it was in 1995. A study was conducted to investigate if the age of tourists visiting Katatonia is higher than it was in 1995. In a random sample of 250 tourists in Katatonia, the average age was 41.43 years (s = 15.93 years). This is lower than the average age of 45 years recorded in 1995, and a one-sample t-test shows that this difference in mean age is significant, t(249) = 3.55, p < . 001. The 95% confidence interval indicates the average age of tourists is between 1.59 and 5.56 years lower than it was in 1995. Contrary to expectations, the age of tourists in Katatonia is lower than it was in 1995. A study was conducted to investigate if the age of tourists visiting Katatonia is higher than it was in 1995. In a random sample of 250 tourists in Katatonia, the average age was 44.84 years (s = 9.96 years). While this is lower than the average age of 45 years recorded in 1995, a one-sample
