Objective:
This learning activity is designed to guide you in recollecting and
reorganizing your previous learnings from subjects that encompass Statistical
concepts, Application of Descriptive and Inferential Statistics are also expected
to be used in treating research data like the one presented as an example. This
activity will also facilitate your understanding of the science of measuring
psychological constructs.
The data provided in an excel form is taken from a survey conducted among
13 Psych graduate students. Information gathered from them are the
following:
1. Time of commute from home to University X (in minutes)
2. Average daily sleep (in hours) from Monday to Friday
3. Sex (Male=1; Female=2)
4. Field of Specialization – (Industrial =1; Social =2, Developmental
=3, Clinical=4)
5. Work (Working = 1; Non-working = 0)
6. Relation Status (In a relationship =1 ; None =0)
7. No. of Units taken in the graduate program
Your task is to apply what you have learned from the review of Descriptive
and Inferential Statistics we have taken from Statistics Refresher 1&2 or from
the previous Statistics subject you took in the previous semesters. You are
given the liberty to choose variables that fit your hypothesis. To simplify the
presentation of your output you are provided a sample table below. You may
present 3 or more sample statistical treatment (Pearson-r, point bi-serial, phi
coefficient, spearman’s rank correlation, t-test, chi-square) of your choice from
the variables being surveyed.

B. Inferential Statistics

1. Statistics Spearman rho (Commute time vs sleep)

2. Research There is a negative relationship between the number
Hypothesis of minutes one spends traveling from home to school
and the average number of daily sleep hours.

Rationale for your hypothesis: According to the

study “Impact of commuting distance and school
timing on sleep of school students” (Pradhan, R.K.,
Sinha, N., 2017) Increase in the daily commuting
distance of a worker is a consequence of such
development that has become potential cause of
reduced duration of sleep in the population. Findings
of the present investigations revealed that commuting
distance and school timings have profound effect on
sleep of adolescent school students.

3. Statistical H0: There is a negative relationship between the

Hypothesis number of minutes one spends traveling from home
to school and the average number of daily sleep
hours.

H1: There is a positive relationship between the

number of minutes one spends travelling from home
to school and the average number of daily sleep
hours.

null hypothesis of is accepted, therefore, there is a
negative relationship between the number of minutes
one spends traveling from home to school and the

10. Research The result shows that as the numbers of minute one
Conclusion spends traveling from home to school increases, the
average number of daily sleep hours decreases.
