2. A repeated-measures experiment and a matched-subjects experiment each produce a t statistic with df = 10. How many individuals participated in the study?
a. 11 for repeated, and 11 for matched
b. 11 for repeated, and 12 for matched
c. 11 for repeated and 22 for matched

b. (n1 – 1) + (n2 – 1)
c. n-1
d. n1 + n2 -1
4. The null hypothesis for a repeated-measures test states:

b. The overall sample will have a mean difference of MD = 0
c. The entire population will have a mean difference of µD = 0
d. All of the other options are correct
5. What is the value of the estimated standard error for the following set of D scores? Scores: 7, 1, 7
a. 12
b. 8/3

a. n = 11
b. n = 13
c. n = 24
d. n = 25
7. If the sample mean difference is held constant, which of the following sets of date are most likely to produce a significant t statistic?

9. Compared to an independent-measures design, a repeated-measured study is more likely to find a significant effect because it reduces the contribution of variance due to _____
a. MD
b. degrees of freedom
c. the effect of the treatment
d. individual differences
10. In a repeated-measures experiment, each individual participates in one treatment condition and then moves on to a second treatment condition. One of the major concerns in this type of study is that participation in the first treatment may influence the participant’s score in the second treatment. This problem is called __________.
a. individual differences
b. order effects
c. homogeneity of variance
d. bi-treatment effect
Problems
1. Briefly explain the advantages and disadvantages of using a repeated-measures design opposed to an independent-measures design.
