a |
The null hypothesis is eating breakfast before an achievement test has no effect on test scores.
The alternative hypothesis is eating breakfast before an achievement test produces higher test scores. This is a one-tailed study. The sample size is 16 students total; Group 1 has 8 students, and Group 2 has 8 students. |
b |
The null hypothesis is eating breakfast before an achievement test produces higher test scores.
The alternative hypothesis is eating breakfast before an achievement test has no effect on test scores. This is a one-tailed test. The sample size is 16 students total; Group 1 has 8 students, and Group 2 has 8 students. |
c |
The null hypothesis is eating breakfast before an achievement test has no effect on test scores.
The alternative hypothesis is eating breakfast before an achievement test produces higher test scores. This is a two-tailed test. The sample size is 16 students total; Group 1 has 8 students, and Group 2 has 8 students. |
d |
The null hypothesis is eating breakfast before an achievement test has no effect on test scores.
The alternative hypothesis is eating breakfast before an achievement test produces higher test scores. This is a one-tailed test. The sample size is 8 students total; Group 1 has 4 students, and Group 2 has 4 students. |
