Statistics for the Social Sciences
Outline (for 2 weeks)
• Review t-tests– One sample, related samples, independent samples
– Additional assumptions• Levene’s test

Statistical analysis follows design
• The one-sample z-test can be used when:
– 1 sample

zX
=X − μ
X
σX
– One score per subject
– Population mean () and standard deviation ()are known

Testing Hypotheses
– Step 1: State your hypotheses– Step 2: Set your decision criteria– Step 3: Collect your data – Step 4: Compute your test statistics
• Compute your estimated standard error• Compute your t-statistic• Compute your degrees of freedom
– Step 5: Make a decision about your null hypothesis
• Hypothesis testing: a five step program

Statistics for the Social Sciences
Performing your statistical test
• What are we doing when we test the hypotheses?– Consider a variation of our memory experiment example
Population of memory patients
MemoryTest is known
Memory treatment
Memory patients
MemoryTestX
Compare these two means
Conclusions: • the memory treatment sample are the same as those in the population of memory patients.• they aren’t the same as those in the population of memory patients
H0
:HA:

Statistics for the Social Sciences
Performing your statistical test
• What are we doing when we test the hypotheses?
Real world (‘truth’)
H0: is false (is a treatment effect)
Two populations
XA
they aren’t the same as those in the population of memory patients
H0: is true (no treatment effect)
One population
XA
the memory treatment sample are the same as those in the population of memory patients.

t Test for Dependent Means
• Unknown population mean and variance• Two situations
– One sample, two scores for each person• Repeated measures design
– Two samples, but individuals in the samples are related
• Same procedure as t test for single sample, except– Use difference scores– Assume that the population mean is 0
