Solution:
A)
The sample standard deviation for quiet condition can be calculated as:
B)
The sample standard deviation for quiet condition can be calculated as:
C)
The mean difference score between quiet condition and the noisy condition is 0.1 (12.1 - 12)
D)
From the above information, it can be concluded that the mean for quiet and noisy are quite similar which is 12 and 12.1 respectively. Also, the standard deviation for quiet and noisy are 6.28 and 6.378 respectively. it means anxiety test under quiet conditions is pretty well as compare to noisy conditions.
