- Q1: A researcher was interested in the effect of exercise on stress levels. For the general population, the distribution of the Stress Battery Scale scores is normal with the mean of µ = 25 and the standard deviation of σ = 5. A sample of n = 100 participants was asked to exercise for three weeks and then reported their stress levels. The sample mean was ?X = 23.
