Complete the empty boxes in the cover sheet on this page, add your K-number

and Student ID to the header, and then add your answers to the document on the pages that follow (in the boxes). Question C1 begins on the next page.

Question C1 [18 marks available]

(a) & (b) [6 marks]           These are the answers for my data set:

(c) In a single sentence, provide a description of what information is conveyed by the

confidence interval that you obtained in part (a). Your description should be specific to the variable that was analysed. [3 marks]

(d) In a single sentence, provide a conclusion for the t-test that you conducted in part (b).

Your conclusion should be specific to the mean difference that was analysed. (You should not repeat statistics from the above table when giving your conclusion.) [3 marks]

(e)  For the t-test you performed in part (b) above, write down (in words rather than symbols) the null hypothesis and a suitable (non-directional) alternate hypothesis. Your two

hypotheses should be written in a way that is specific to the data for this study (i.e., include appropriate names of variables, scores, or conditions). [6 marks]

Question C2 [18 marks available]

Your task is to analyse and report the data, reporting it in the form of a Results section for a  psychology research report. Your Results section should include the descriptive statistics that are relevant to the investigation of the mean difference in change scores between the

conditions, as well as the results of an appropriate t-test. Marks are awarded for the

appropriateness of the content, clarity and structure of your Results section; as well as for the suitable use of reporting conventions in your Results section.

Results Section (type here):

Question C3 [21 marks available]

For each feature that you identify:

(A) State what feature you have identified, giving the line number(s) where Zajonc and Sales (1966) mention this feature.

(B) Briefly (but clearly) describe the nature of the confounding that could have occurred if   this feature had not been included in the design. (You may use an example of a potential confounding variable as part of this answer.)

(C) Briefly (but clearly) explain how the design feature controls for (or limits the potential for) a confounding variable.

You should aim to identify three different features. That is, the best answers will not simply  comment on the same feature three times with three separate examples of how this feature  

served to control for confounding variables. If your features are too similar to each other, you will not be able to achieve full marks.
