P554 Statistics in Psychology, Prof. Kruschke
Homework for Ch. 8. Due at beginning of class, Thurs 1 Mar 2007 (instead of Tu 27 Feb 2007).

General instructions. Please write your full name at the top of every page you hand in. Please collate and staple your pages together. Please write clearly and thoroughly explain all your computations; an unannotated series of formulas that mysteriously ends up with the correct number will not be given full credit. When doing the homework, you are encouraged to use all resources at your disposal to the extent that they help you learn the material; nevertheless, you must write your own answers in your own words.

  1. (6 pts.)
    p. 394 # 11. Please be sure to write your own answers in your own words. You can use the answer in the back of the book as a guide, but you must explain your work! Please notice that the answer in the back of the book does not put the subscripts in "odometer-incrementing" order, so don't get confused.

  2. (14 pts.)
    p. 397-398, # 16. Do this in SPSS. Before part (a), do this: Make a boxplot of the data and say whether there are outliers, severe non-normality or severe non-homogeneity. Important: Keep the answers to the various parts well labeled, in consecutive order, and include only the crucial parts of the SPSS output that you specifically refer to in your answer. If your answer is not clear, points might be deducted.
