#Shapiro-Wilk Tests
shapiro.test(Q4$Weight[Q4$Exercise == "nolift"])
##
## Shapiro-Wilk normality test
##
## data: Q4$Weight[Q4$Exercise == "nolift"]
## W = 0.70002, p-value = 7.294e-06
shapiro.test(Q4$Weight[Q4$Exercise == "lift"])
##
## Shapiro-Wilk normality test
##
## data: Q4$Weight[Q4$Exercise == "lift"]
## W = 0.78786, p-value = 0.0001436
Shapiro-Wilk Interpretation: Group 1: No Lift The first group is abnormally distributed, (p < .001).
Group 2: Lift The second group is abnormally distributed, (p < .001).
#Independent T-Test
t.test(Weight ~ Exercise, data = Q4, var.equal = TRUE)
##
## Two Sample t-test
##
## data: Weight by Exercise
## t = 5.5923, df = 48, p-value = 1.045e-06
## alternative hypothesis: true difference in means between group lift and group nolift is not equal to 0
## 95 percent confidence interval:
## 55.75715 118.35710
## sample estimates:
## mean in group lift mean in group nolift
## 120.08238 33.02525
Independent T-Test Interpretation: An Independent T-Test was conducted to determine if there was a difference in body weight (kg) between No lift and lift. No lift scores (M = 33.03, SD = 56.7) were not significantly different from lift scores (M = 120.08, SD = 53.3), t(48) = 5.59, p < .001.
#Mann-Whitney U Test
wilcox.test(Weight ~ Exercise, data = Q4)
##
## Wilcoxon rank sum exact test
##
## data: Weight by Exercise
## W = 603, p-value = 7.132e-11
## alternative hypothesis: true location shift is not equal to 0
#Effect Size for Mann-Whitney U
mw_effect <- cliff.delta(Weight ~ Exercise, data = Q4)
print(mw_effect)
##
## Cliff's Delta
##
## delta estimate: 0.9296 (large)
## 95 percent confidence interval:
## lower upper
## 0.7993841 0.9764036
Mann-Whitney U Interpretation: A Mann-Whitney U test was conducted to determine if there was a difference in body weight (kg) between No Lift and Lift groups. No Lift scores (Mdn = 40.84) were significantly different from Lift scores (Mdn = 115.59), U = 603, p < .001. The effect size was large, Cliff’s Delta = .93.
