You wish to test the following claim (HaHa) at a significance level of α=0.02α=0.02. For the context of this problem, one data set represents a pre-test and the other data set represents a post-test.     

Ho:μd=0Ho:μd=0
Ha:μd≠0Ha:μd≠0

You believe the population of difference scores is normally distributed, but you do not know the standard deviation. You obtain pre-test and post-test samples for n=197n=197 subjects. The average difference (post - pre) is ¯d=−2.8d¯=-2.8 with a standard deviation of the differences of sd=17.1sd=17.1.

  1. What is the test statistic for this sample?

    test statistic =  Round to 4 decimal places.
  2. What is the p-value for this sample? Round to 4 decimal places.

    p-value =
  3. The p-value is...
    • less than (or equal to) αα
    • greater than αα

  4. This test statistic leads to a decision to...
    • reject the null
    • accept the null
    • fail to reject the null

  5. As such, the final conclusion is that...
    • There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the mean difference of post-test from pre-test is not equal to 0.
    • There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the mean difference of post-test from pre-test is not equal to 0.
    • The sample data support the claim that the mean difference of post-test from pre-test is not equal to 0.
    • There is not sufficient sample evidence to support the claim that the mean difference of post-test from pre-test is not equal to 0.
