Question

A small group of participants are asked how often they meditate. Then they are given a lecture on the benefits of meditation. Following the lecture they are again asked how often they meditate.

Did the lecture increase the number of days they meditate?

What is the t observed?

What is the appropriate decision?(You'll use this problem in the next question.)

# Days Meditate Before Lecture	# Days Meditate After Lecture
29	19
31	33
27	23
22	24
32	20

How has attendance in a college class been affected by the change to distance education? Weekly absences of 2 separate, independent classes, one affected by distance ed and one not affected, were compared.

Here are the descriptive stats:

No Distance Ed	Distance Ed
mean = 2	mean = 3
sd = .86	sd = .79

The t observed for this independent t test is 3.82.

Conduct all 5 steps of the hypothesis test, except for step 3 which has been given to you above.

Label each step:

1. state hypotheses (sentences and statistical notation)

2. set decision criteria (alpha, # tails, df, c.v.)

3. see above

4. make decision (reject or fail)

5. write up results (test and why, general result, evidence, direction of result)

*Note: 1 point for each item listed in parentheses.

Answer 1

For problem two sample size is not given that's why I provide you only outline how to make decision. Give thumb up. Thank you
