Question

An experiment was designed to test a hypothesis that stated that high-drive subjects would be able to learn a simple task much more quickly than would low-drive subjects. The experimenter’s operational definition of drive was each subject’s score on the Manifest Drive Scale. Twenty people who scored high on the scale (high-drive) and 20 people who scored low on the scale (low-drive) were given a simple task to learn.

-Is the independent variable a true independent variable? (true or false) -State the experimenter's research hypothesis in a complete sentence. - If the findings reveal support for the research hypothesis, which of the following statements are TRUE? Select all that apply.

-Group of answer choices

-The null hypothesis was accepted.

-The experimenter failed to reject the null hypothesis.

-There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups.

-High-drive people learned the simple task significantly faster than low-drive people.

-The null hypothesis was rejected.

-The low-drive people learned the simple task significantly slower than high-drive people.

-The null hypothesis not supported.

-The p-value associated with the critical analysis was less than .05.

Answer 1

From the given information,

The correct answers are,

a. Yes, This is true statement.

b.  Experimenter's research hypothesis is, "High-drive subjects would be able to learn a simple task much more quickly than would low-drive subjects."

c.True statements are,

-High-drive people learned the simple task significantly faster than low-drive people.

-The null hypothesis was rejected.

-The low-drive people learned the simple task significantly slower than high-drive people.

-The null hypothesis not supported.

-The p-value associated with the critical analysis was less than .05.

Thank you.
