PUBH 6033—Week 7 Assignment 1
Comparing two means: When drink drove a student to statistics
(Rubric included)
Instructions
For this assignment, you review this week’s Learning Resources and then perform a two-sample independent t test and an ANOVA related to the dataset that was utilized in the week 2 SPSS application assignment. Import the data into SPSS; or, if you correctly saved the data file in Week 2, you may open and use that saved file to complete this assignment. Type your answers to all questions directly into the worksheet, and paste the required output at the end of this document.
Submit this Application Assignment by Day 7.
———————————————————————————————————————
Research Scenario
A study was conducted to determine if a walking plus strength training exercise program results in a significantly greater increase in aerobic capacity as compared to a walking only exercise program. Participants are randomly selected and then randomly assigned to one of the exercise groups. Participants’ aerobic endurance was assessed at the beginning of the study and, again, after 6-months of exercise.
Coding for study variables:
- AGE—age in years
- SEX—1 =male, 2=female
- EXERCISE—1= walking and strength training; 2 = walking;
- CHNG_ENDUR—change in maximal oxygen uptake (liters per minute) from pre-test to post-test
———————————————————————————————————————
Note: Save all of your SPSS output. You will paste copies in Steps 7–9, below.
Step 1: Review this week’s Learning Resources.
Step 2: Import the Microsoft Excel data file provided in this week’s Learning Resources into SPSS (or open saved file from Week 2 Application Assignment).
Step 3: Run and save the Codebook for your SPSS data file
Step 4: Conduct an independent samples t test to determine if there is a difference between the exercise type 1 in terms of changes in maximal oxygen uptake. Note that the independent variable is EXERCISE, and the dependent variable is CHNG_ENDUR. For this analysis, choose a two-tailed test of significance.
Step 5: Conduct a between-subjects ANOVA to determine if there is a difference between sex (males vs. females) and CHNG_ENDUR. Note that the independent variable is SEX, and the dependent variable is CHNG_ENDUR. For this analysis, choose a two-tailed test of significance.
Step 6: Review your SPSS output and answer each of the following questions:
QUESTION type answers below Score (to be entered by instructor) From the independent samples t-test output: 1. What is the mean CHNG_ENDUR for group 1? ________________ ____ / 3 points 2.

Are the results statistically significant at alpha = 0.05 (yes or no)? ________________ ____ / 3 points 8. Based on the results, do you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? ________________ ____ / 3 points From the ANOVA output: 9. What is the mean CHNG_ENDUR for males? ________________ ____ / 3 points 10. What is the CHNG_ENDUR standard deviation for males? ________________ ____ / 3 points 11. What is the mean CHNG_ENDUR for females? ________________ ____ / 3 points 12. What is the CHNG_ENDUR standard deviation for females? ________________ ____ / 3 points 13. What is the calculated F-value? ________________ ____ / 3 points 14. What is the probability (noted as “Sig” on output) that the obtained F-value was simply due to chance as opposed to actual gender differences? ________________ ____ / 3 points Step 7: Paste the SPSS Codebook output below.
Step 8: Paste the independent samples t-test output below.
Step 9: Paste the ANOVA output below.

Elements of the required response may also be lacking. 40 points out of 50: The essay illustrates solid understanding of the relevant material by correctly addressing most of the relevant content; identifying and explaining most of the key concepts/ideas; using correct terminology; explaining the reasoning behind most of the key points/claims; and/or where necessary or useful, substantiating some points with accurate examples. The answer is complete. 50 points: The essay illustrates exemplary understanding of the relevant material by thoroughly and correctly addressing the relevant content; identifying and explaining all of the key concepts/ideas; using correct terminology explaining the reasoning behind key points/claims and substantiating, as necessary/useful, points with several accurate and illuminating examples.
