Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences by Frederick J. Gravetter, Larry B. Wallnau ISBN 10: 1305504917 ISBN 13: 9781305504912

Statistics is one of the most practical and essential courses that you will take, and a primary goal of this popular text is to make the task of learning statistics as simple as possible. Straightforward instruction, built-in learning aids, and real-world examples have made STATISTICS FOR THE BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES, 10th Edition the text selected most often by instructors for their students in the behavioral and social sciences. The authors provide a conceptual context that makes it easier to learn formulas and procedures, explaining why procedures were developed and when they should be used. This text will also instill the basic principles of objectivity and logic that are essential for science and valuable in everyday life, making it a useful reference long after you complete the course.

variance, the estimated standard error for the

mean difference, and the independent-measures

t statistic. Using a two-tailed test with α = .05, is

there a significant difference between the two sets

of scores? Note: The scores in each treatment are

the same as in Problem 21. Nothing has changed.

b. Now assume that the data are from a repeatedmeasures

study using the same sample of n = 8

participants in both treatment conditions. Compute

the variance for the sample of difference scores,

the estimated standard error for the mean difference

and the repeated-measures t statistic. Using

a two-tailed test with α = .05, is there a significant

difference between the two sets of scores?

(You should find that removing the individual

differences with a repeated-measures t no longer

reduces the variance because there are no consistent

individual differences.)
