Question
I need assistance finding the P-value

Transcribed Image Text:Researchers conducted a study to determine whether magnets are effective in treating back pain. Pain was measured using the visual analog scale, and the results
shown below are among the results obtained in the study. Higher scores correspond to greater pain levels. Assume that the two samples are independent simple
random samples selected from normally distributed populations, and do not assume that the population standard deviations are equal. Complete parts (a) to (c)
below.
Reduction in Pain Level After Magnet Treatment (u, ): n= 20, x= 0.55, s= 0.91
Reduction in Pain Level After Sham Treatment (H2): n= 20, x= 0.46, s = 1.31
a. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that those treated with magnets have a greater mean reduction in pain than those given a sham treatment (similar to
a placebo).
What are the null and alternative hypotheses?
VA. Họ: H1 = H2
H1: H1 > H2
O B. Ho: H1 = H2
O C. Ho: H1 <H2
H1: H12 H2
O D. Ho: H1 # H2
H1: H1 < H2
The test statistic, t, is 0.25 . (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
The P-value is (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

- Q11arrow_forwardA researcher found that the two groups (n=25 in each group) they tested were significantly different from each other with a t-value of 2.91, which has a corresponding p-value of p=.06. Report the findings in APA number format.arrow_forwardAthletes performing in bright sunlight often smear black eye grease under their eyes to reduce glare. Does eye grease work? In one study, 16 student subjects took a test of sensitivity to contrast after three hours facing into bright sun, both with and without eye grease. (Greater sensitivity to contrast improves vision, and glare reduces sensitivity to contrast.) This is a matched pairs design. The differences in sensitivity, with eye grease minus without eye grease, are given in the table. 0.07 0.64 −0.12 −0.05 −0.18 0.14 −0.16 0.03 0.05 0.02 0.43 0.24 −0.11 0.28 0.05 0.29 Click to download the data in your preferred format.
