Interpreting the Results of Unrelated T-Tes

• How many participants were in the study?

  20 participants
• What was the gender distribution of the participants?

  10 boys and 10 girls
• What was the aim of the study?

  To see which gender finished a jigsaw faster
• What type of hypothesis was used in the study?

  A non-directional hypothesis
• Why was the test chosen for this study?

  • To compare completion times between genders
  • To assess cognitive skills in a fun task
  • To evaluate performance under time constraints
• What is the calculated value of T in the study?

  -0.116
• How do you calculate degrees of freedom for this test?

  Df = Na + Nb - 2
• If there are 20 participants, what is the degrees of freedom?

  18
• What is the critical value at the 5% level for a 2-tailed test?

  2.101
• What does it mean if the calculated value is not significant at the 5% level?

  The null hypothesis is accepted
• What conclusion can be drawn from the study's findings?

  No significant difference in completion times
• What are the implications of accepting the null hypothesis in this study?

  • Indicates no gender difference in jigsaw completion
  • Suggests equal cognitive abilities in this task
  • Calls for further research on gender and task performance
