Week 4 Practice Problems 11. List the five steps of hypothesis testing, and explain the procedure and logic of each Step 1: During this step of hypothesis testing, the query is stated again as a research theory and a null theory regarding the populations. The null and research hypothesizes are the opposites of each other. This step is necessary because it explains the theory and recognizes the populations, which will be worked throughout the study. Step 2: During this second step, the characteristics of the comparison distribution is determined. In instances that the null theory is correct, the comparison distribution is compared to the score depending on the sample’s outcomes. Step 3: During this third step, the cutoff sample†¦show more content†¦Below all five steps of hypothesis testing will be examined to determine what the researcher should conclude: Step 1: Since the question needs to be restated as a research hypothesis and a null hypothesis about the populations, the new question would be â€Å"Does listening to music while solving math problems make a particular brain area more active?† (Whitaker, 2013). Population 1: Music increases math problem solving skills. Population 2: Music has no effect on math problem solving skills. Step 2:This step determines the characteristics of the comparison distribution. Therefore, in this research, it is assumed that music increases math problem solving skills. Since the null hypothesis is â€Å"music has no effect on math problem solving skills , the comparison distribution is population two’s distribution. Step 3: Since during this step, the researcher has to â€Å"determine the cutoff sample score on the comparison distribution at which the null hypothesis should be rejected†, the null hypothesis will be rejected if the music has no effect on math problem solving skills score is within the bottom or the top 2.5% of the comparison distribution (Aron, Aron, and Coup, 2009). Furthermore the cutoff Z scores for the 1% level are -2.33 or 2.33. Step 4: The sample’s score on the comparison distribution is determined which in his case is Z=Show MoreRelatedMasculinity in the Philippines12625 Words   |  51 Pagesphilippine studies Ateneo de Manila University †¢ Loyola Heights, Quezon City †¢ 1108 Philippines Philippine Commonwealth and Cult of Masculinity Alfred W.
