Description
Use MS word to complete Exercises 16, 17, 31, and 32 in Statistics for Nursing Research: A Workbook for Evidence-Based Practice, and submit as directed by the instructor. Submit your work in SPSS by copying the output and pasting into the Word document. In addition to the SPSS output, please include explanations of the results where appropriate.
The remaining questions from Questions to be Graded Exercise 32 will be attached after as I am unable to upload any more files.

Follow
your instructor’s directions to submit your answers to the following questions for grading
Your instructor may ask you write your answers below and submit them as a hard copy for
grading. Alternatively, your instructor may ask you to use the space below for notes and submit your
answers online at http://evolve.elsevier.com/Grove/Statistics/ under “Questions to Be Graded.”
1. What do degrees of freedom (df) mean? Canbulat et al. (2015) did not provide the dfs in their
study. Why is it important to know the df for at ratio? Using the df formula, calculate the df for
this study
2. What are the means and standard deviations (SDs) for age for the Buzzy intervention and control
groups? What statistical analysis is conducted to determine the difference in means for age for
the two groups? Was this an appropriate analysis technique? Provide a rationale for your answer.
3. What are the value and p value for age? What do these results mean?
4. What are the assumptions for conducting the independent samples t-test?

EXERCISE 16 Understanding Independent Samples t-Test
5. Are the groups in this study independent or dependent? Provide a rationale for your answer.
6. What is the null hypothesis for procedural self-reported pain measured with the Wong Baker
Faces Scale (WBFS) for the two groups? Was this null hypothesis accepted or rejected in this
study? Provide a rationale for your answer.
7. Should a Bonferroni procedure be conducted in this study? Provide a rationale for your answer.
8. What variable has a result of t= -6.135, p = 0.000? What does the result mean?
9. In your opinion, is it an expected or unexpected finding that both t values on Table 2 were found
to be statistically significant. Provide a rationale for your answer.
10. Describe one potential clinical benefit for pediatric patients to receive the Buzzy intervention
that combined cold and vibration during IV insertion

Follow your instructor’s directions to submit your answers to the following questions for grading,
Your instructor may ask you to write your answers below and submit them as a hard copy for
grading Alternatively, your instructor may ask you to use the space below for notes and submit your
answers online at http://evolve.elsevier.com/Grove/Statistics/ under “Questions to Be Graded.”
1. What are the assumptions for conducting a paired or dependent samples t-test in a study? Which
of these assumptions do you think were met by the Lindseth et al. (2014) study?
2. In the introduction, Lindseth et al. (2014) described a “2-week washout between diets.” What
does this mean? Why is this important?
3. What is the paired t-test value for mood (irritability) between the participants’ consumption of
high-versus low-aspartame diets? Is this result statistically significant? Provide a rationale for
your answer.
4. State the null hypothesis for mood (irritability) that was tested in this study. Was this hypothesis
accepted or rejected? Provide a rationale for your answer.
178
EXERCISE 17 Understanding Paired or Dependent Samples t-Test
5. Which t value in Table 2 represents the greatest relative or standardized difference between the
high-and low-aspartame diets? Is this tvalue statistically significant? Provide a rationale for your
answer.
6. Discuss why the larger t values are more likely to be statistically significant.
7. Discuss the meaning of the results regarding depression for this study. What is the clinical
importance of this result?
8. What is the smallest, paired t-test value in Table 2? Why do you think the smaller t values are
not statistically significant?
9. Discuss the clinical importance of these study results about the consumption of aspartame.
Document your answer with a relevant source.
10. Are these study findings related to the consumption of high- and low-aspartame diets ready for
implementation in practice Provide a rationale for your answer.

of normality for the dependent variable?
