    ASSIGNMENT

    TITLE: Quiz 2

    DATE: 30-11-24

    NAME: Amna Latif

    INSTRUCTOR: Ma’am Mahnoor Ali

    COURSE: PSYCH220
    Develop a hypothesis of your choice. Then, collect a dataset consisting of two groups (a
    minimum of ten cases for each group) and conduct an independent samples T-test analysis on
    SPSS. Afterward, write a report detailing your results (APA 7th edition), including a table and a
    bar chart to illustrate your findings.

    Hypothesis:
    Hypothesis: Students who study in a quiet environment will perform better on a standardized
    memory recall test compared to students who study in a noisy environment.

    Null Hypothesis (H₀): There is no significant difference in memory recall scores between
    students in quiet and noisy study environments.
    Alternative Hypothesis (H₁): There is a significant difference in memory recall scores between
    students in quiet and noisy study environments.
    Dataset:
    I will create a hypothetical dataset representing scores of 20 participants, divided into two
    groups:
    Group 1 (Quiet Environment): 10 participants.
    Group 2 (Noisy Environment): 10 participants.
    Data for analysis:
    Quiet Environment (Group 1): [12, 15, 14, 13, 16, 17, 14, 18, 15, 16]
    Noisy Environment (Group 2): [9, 11, 10, 8, 12, 10, 11, 9, 10, 8]

    Analysis Plan:
    The analysis will be conducted using an Independent Samples T-test in SPSS to determine if
    there is a statistically significant difference between the two groups
    Group Statistics:
    Quiet environment: Mean = 15.00, SD = 1.826
    Noisy environment: Mean = 9.80, SD = 1.317
    These match the descriptive statistics in my report.
    Independent Samples Test:
    T-value = 7.305 (Equal variances assumed)
    p-value (Sig. 2-tailed) < 0.001
    Mean difference = 5.20, with a confidence interval of [3.705, 6.695]
    These values match the t-test result I calculated.
    Effect Sizes:
    Cohen's d = 1.592 (very large effect size), which emphasizes the substantial difference between
    the two groups.
    REPORT:
    Descriptive Statistics
    The study compared the memory recall scores of participants who studied in a quiet environment
    to those who studied in a noisy environment.

    Environment N Mean Standard Deviation


    Quiet 10 15.00 1.826
    Environment
    Noisy 10 9.80 1.317
    Environment

    Participants in the quiet environment scored higher (M = 15.00, SD = 1.83) on average compared
    to those in the noisy environment (M = 9.80, SD = 1.32).

    Independent Samples T-test


    To test whether the difference in memory recall scores between the two groups was statistically
    significant, an independent samples T-test was conducted. The test assumed equal variances
    (Levene’s test: F = 0.768, p = .392). The results showed a significant difference between the
    groups, t(18) = 7.31, p < .001. This indicates that participants in the quiet environment performed
    significantly better on the memory recall task compared to those in the noisy environment. The
    mean difference between the groups was 5.20 (95% CI [3.705, 6.695]).

    Effect Sizes
    The results also included effect sizes, showing the strength of the difference between the groups.
    Cohen’s d was 1.59, indicating a very large effect size. This confirms that the quiet study
    environment had a substantial positive effect on memory recall compared to the noisy
    environment.

    Discussion
    The results support the hypothesis that studying in a quiet environment leads to better memory
    recall compared to studying in a noisy environment. The findings are both statistically significant
    and practically meaningful, as indicated by the large effect size (Cohen's d = 1.59). These
    findings highlight the importance of creating a quiet study setting to maximize performance on
    tasks requiring memory.
