04. Tests and Quizzes (8)

Resource type A suite of statistics e-Assessments - Stand-alone resources
DEWIS statistics e-Assessments Learning Modules are concerned with the application of SPSS to the appropriate one sample location test of a data set; t-test, Wilcoxon signed-rank test or Binomial (Sign) test. You may choose examples from a variety of scenarios across a range of disciplines.
Resource type A suite of statistics e-Assessments with supporting materials
These DEWIS Learning Modules are concerned with the application of SPSS to the appropriate one sample location test of a data set; t-test, Wilcoxon signed-rank test or Binomial (Sign) test. You may choose examples from a variety of scenarios across a range of disciplines. The accompanying notes (http://dewisprod.uwe.ac.uk/projects/sigma/PDF/DEWIS_intro.pdf) describe the process of initially exploring your data and then identifying the recommended test. You may choose to complete these modules in the natural order of an analysis, but you may also attempt modules independently in any order if desired. You are not restricted either to only performing the recommended appropriate test, however you will be told at the beginning of a test module whether it is the recommended test or not. You will be given a data set to download which has a reference number. You can log out of DEWIS and return at a later date to complete modules after telling DEWIS the reference number of the data set you wish to be tested on. Each data set is generated randomly and thus you can have multiple attempts at the same scenario with a variety of data sets that will cover the various experiences that you will encounter when analysing data; i.e. data that is appropriate for any one of the three tests and that may or may not have a significant effect. It is recommended that before you use the e-Assessments you download the accompanying notes (http://dewisprod.uwe.ac.uk/projects/sigma/PDF/DEWIS_intro.pdf) and watch this video (http://dewisprod.uwe.ac.uk/projects/sigma/DEWISdemo/DEWISdemo.htm) that demonstrates the use of the learning modules. In particular please note that the e-Assessment marks to the accuracy that SPSS outputs various summary statistics when the data is displayed in the Data View to the recorded accuracy. Click here (http://dewisprod.uwe.ac.uk/projects/sigma-stats.html) to access DEWIS. The feedback within DEWIS provides links to videos and pdf instruction pamphlets.

Resource type Business Statistics 4 - Numbas
5 questions. 1. Finding the confidence interval at either 90%, 95% or 99% for the mean given the mean and standard deviation of a sample. The population variance is not given and so the t test has to be used. Various scenarios are included. 2. Finding the confidence interval at either 90%, 95% or 99% for the mean given the mean of a sample. The population variance is given and so the z values are used. Various scenarios are included. 3. Provided with information on a sample with sample mean and standard deviation, but no information on the population variance, use the t test to either accept or reject a given null hypothesis. 4. Provided with information on a sample with sample mean and known population variance, use the z test to either accept or reject a given null hypothesis. 5. Given two sets of data, sample mean and sample standard deviation, on performance on the same task, make a decision as to whether or not the mean times differ. Population variance not given, so the t test has to be used in conjunction with the pooled sample standard deviation. Link to use of t tables and p-values in Show steps.
