SPSS WORKSHEET: NONPARAMETRIC TESTS TEMPLATE
This assignment is worth a total of 75 points.
Content: point values vary but are indicated in the template and total 50 points (pts).
Format: point values vary but are indicated in the template for 22 pts. The remaining 3
pts are for placing answers in the correctly designated spots within the template in a clear
and easy to read format and uploading it in an approved format (word or PDF). Thus, the
maximum is 25 points for format.
Research Scenario #1 (Q1-7: 30
pts content / 11 pts format): A DIGITA ANALO UNDECIDED TOTALS
manufacturer of a new smart watch L G
wants to examine preferences for YOUNGER 80 35 10 125
digital versus analog faces for THAN 30
marketing purposes. A sample of n
30 OR 30 40 5 75
= 200 people is selected, and these
OLDER
individuals are classified by age and
preference. The manufacturer would
COLUMN 110 75 15 200
like to know whether there is a
TOTALS
relationship between age and face
preference. The observed
frequencies are provided in the table.
1. What is one of the variables in this scenario? One of the variables in this scenario is "Face
How many levels does it have? What are they? Preference." It has three levels: Digital,
Is it BS or WS? What is its scale of Analog, and Undecided. This variable is
measurement? 4 pts between-subjects (BS) as each participant
falls into one and only one category of face
preference. Its scale of measurement is
nominal, as the categories do not have an
inherent order
2. What is the other variable in this scenario? How The other variable in this scenario is "Age."
many levels does it have? What are they? Is it It has two levels: Younger than 30, and 30 or
BS or WS? What is its scale of measurement? 4 Older. This variable is also between-subjects
pts (BS) as each participant is classified into
one age category. Its scale of measurement
is nominal as well, although age is typically
an ordinal or ratio variable, in this case, it is
being used categorically.
3. How many rows and columns are used in this <There are two rows (representing the two
specific example to determine which effect size age groups) and three columns
is most appropriate (provide the numerical (representing the three face preferences)
notation – e.g., 2x2, 2x3. 3x3)? Based on this used in this example. Therefore, the
information, which effect size is most numerical notation for the design is a 2x3
appropriate? 4 pts table. Based on this information, the most
appropriate effect size would be Cramer's V,
