Assignment 2
A drug company is measuring levels of oxygenation in patients
after receiving a test medication. As the researcher, you are
interested in whether Group I, which received the medication,
has the same oxygenation levels as Group II, which did not.
1) Group 1: 2,3,3,4,4,7,8,9
2) Group 2: 1,2,2,3,4,4,5,5,6,8
Use Excel to run a t-test for two samples, assuming equal
variances, with an alpha value of 0.05. Run the t-test and note:
1) Are you doing a one-tailed test or a two-tailed test (Excel
will give you both)?
2) What is the probability that Group I is different from Group
2, using the p value? Is it significant against the benchmark of p
< .05?
APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is
expected.
This assignment uses a grading rubric. Instructors will be using
the rubric to grade the assignment; therefore, students should
review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become
familiar with the assignment criteria and expectations for
successful completion of the assignment.

Assignment 3
Details:
1) Refer to "The Use of Electro-Acupuncture in Conjunction
with Exercise for the Treatment of Chronic Low-Back Pain" by
Yeung, Leung, and Chow.
2) Complete "Yeung Analysis Worksheet."
3) Examine the question the researchers were trying to answer
and write an essay (500-750 words) that explains why you feel
the t-test was chosen. Choose one of the other tools studied so
far in this course and explain why it would not provide relevant
findings.
4) Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines
found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success
Center. An abstract is not required.
