Question

When we compute an independent-samples t-test, we are looking to see if there are significant differences between the means of two independent groups, each measured on a different level of the independent variable.

True or False

When we compute a paired-samples t-test, we are looking to see if there are significant differences between the means of two independent groups, each measured on a different level of the independent variable.

True or False

If the p-value is > than 0.05, the differences between means is significant

True or False

Answer 1

a) When we compute an independent-samples t-test, we are looking to see if there are significant differences between the means of two independent groups, each measured on a different level of the independent variable.

This statement is True.

b) When we compute a paired-samples t-test, we are looking to see if there are significant differences between the means of two independent groups, each measured on a different level of the independent variable.

This statement is False because for paired t test, the samples should be dependent.

c) If the p-value is > than 0.05, the differences between means is significant.

This statement is False because if p < 0.05 then the differences between means is significant.
