Document Summary
Additional notes on data analysis and confidence intervals a summary and. As discussed in class, once we have obtained our data, we need to somehow make sense of it in relation to the hypothesis we proposed before conducting our study (i. e. in the introduction). Does there appear to be errors or oddities in what you have. Let(cid:495)s use our dog patting example from class to keep things simple. Do the data make sense, given the research question and hypothesis you proposed? want to test the effect that stroking a dog has on resting heartrate (our dv). We hypothesized, based on previous studies, that patting a dog for five minutes would result in a lower resting heart rate than in the no-dog patting group. We cannot sample the entire population we are interested in, so instead obtain a sample of participants who are willing to take part in our study.
