A variable is any change of an individual. A variable can take different values for different individuals. A categorical variable places an individual into one of several groups or categories. A quantitative variable takes numerical values for which arithmetic operations such as adding and averaging make sense. The distribution of a variable tells us what values the variable takes and how often it takes these values A time plot of a variable plots each observation against the time at which

determine the effects of a treatment without comparison to a separate control group. The assumptions for the t-test for dependent groups are: 1. The distribution of scores is normal or approximately normally distributed. 2. The dependent variable(s) is (are) measured at interval or ratio levels. 3. The groups examined for differences are dependent based on matching or subjects serving as their own control. 4. The differences between the paired scores are independent QUESTIONS TO BE GRADED

this t ratio statistically significant? What does this result mean? The t ratio -0.65 (Stress management) represents the smallest relative difference between the pretest and 3 months. The ratio is not considered statistically significant because the value is not denoted by an asterisk and p is not less than 0.05. 4. What are the assumptions for conducting a t-test for dependent groups in a study? Which of these assumptions do you think were met by this study? The assumptions for the t-test for
