A researcher believes that the so-called “sugar high” is not real. He gathered 30 adolescents and recorded their activity level in the scale of 0 – 100 (0 = not active and 100 = super active). First, he recorded participants’ activity level before they consumed candy. After recording their pre-sugar activity level, the researcher gave out 5 Snickers bars to participants. Then, he recorded their post-sugar activity level. The average difference between post-sugar and pre-sugar activity level is 50 (i.e., the activity levels are higher after sugar than prior to it) with a standard deviation of 10.
A). What is the type of test you will use? (z-test, single-sample t-test, paired-samples t-test, or independent samples t-test) and why (what information provided in the problem)B). What are the hypotheses (Be Specific)
The geoemetric mean of 2, 4 & 8.
In Exercises 1–3, use the data listed below. The values are departure delay times (minutes) for American Airlines flights from New York to Los Angeles. Negative values correspond to flights that departed early.
Test for Normality Use the departure delay times for Flight 19 and test for normality using a normal quantile plot.

Part A: Find the mean refractory period and the standard error of the mean. Part B: Calculate a 90% confidence interval for the mean absolute refractory period for all mice when subjected to the same treatment. Part C: Suppose the mean absolute refractory period for unpoisoned mice is known to be 1.3 milliseconds. Toxaphene poisoning should slow nerve recovery and therefore increase this period.
