Question
19 | You are reading a report that contains a hypothesis test you are interested in. The writer of the report writes that the p-value for the test you are interested in is 0.0342, but does not tell you the value of the test statistic. Using α as the level of significance, from this information you ... | ||||
a | decide to reject the hypothesis at α = 0.10, and reject at α = 0.05 | ||||
b | decide not to reject the hypothesis at α = 0.10, and not to reject at α = 0.05 | ||||
c | decide to reject the hypothesis at α = 0.10, but not reject at α = 0.05. | ||||
d | cannot decide based on this limited information. You need to know the value of the test statistic. |

- Under what circumstances is a t statistic used instead of a z-score for a hypothesis test? Justin wants to know whether a commonly prescribed drug does improve the attention span of students with attention deficit disorder (ADD). He knows that the mean attention span for students with ADD who are not taking the drug is 2.3 minutes long. His sample of 12 students taking the drug yielded a mean of 4.6 minutes. Justin can find no information regarding σx , so he calculated s2x =1.96. Determine the critical region using a one-tailed test with alpha = .05. Conduct the hypothesis test (Do the math and compare the t-critical and t-obtained values). State your conclusions in terms of H0 (Should you reject the H0 or fail to reject/accept the H0). Based on your analysis, is there a relationship between the drug and attention span?arrow_forwardLooking at youth depression scores from a general sample of random children in the US, we want to determine if our sample is significantly different than the national average of scores of children with depression in the US.
