    The team’s null hypotheses or (HO) is that Hispanic pay is greater than or equal to $30,000. The team’s alternative hypothesis or (H1) is that Hispanic pay is less than $30,000. The significance level has been set at .05 or 95%. The z score of .05 is -1.645. If the z-value is less than -1.645 then the team can reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis. If the z-value is greater than -1.645 then the team fails to reject the null hypothesis, meaning Hispanic workers do, in…

    were written correctly. For a majority of tests there were two raters, and we found between the two raters scoring “The Sun” was in agreement 97% of the time and “Sea Otters” was in agreement 94% of the time. Our first hypothesis was that recall for the study/study condition will be higher than for the study/test condition for the five minute delay. Our second hypothesis was that recall for the study/test condition should be higher than for the study/study condition for the two day delay. The…

    The first criticism stated was, NHST does not provide the information the researchers are looking for (Kirk, 1996). NHST provides the probability that the researchers will obtain certain data if the null hypothesis is true; however, researchers want to know the probability the null hypothesis is true given the data they collected (Kirk, 1996). Kirk (1996) emphasized due to this confusion, researchers often make incorrect assumptions regarding the p value. He stated the utilization of NHST…

    Then run a regression model using the residuals square as the dependent variable and fits square as independent variable. The regression will produce a p-value for the fits square, which will be compared to the selected alpha level (it could be 1%, 5%, or 10%). If the p-value is less than the alpha level, we reject the null hypothesis in favor of the alternate. Therefore, the residuals are heteroscedastic. However, if the p-value is greater than the alpha level, we accept the null hypothesis…

    appropriate for the variables being studied as well. The article did not bore the readers with explaining the significance testing of the research. This can be lengthy, confusing, and unnecessary in an article explaining the conclusions drawn from a study. I assume the researchers performed null hypothesis significance testing. The appropriate research question for this study is, “when having a child before marriage, does the year of childbirth have an effect on divorce rates?” with the…
