Dr. Abba hypothesizes A cognitive psychologist hypothesizes that
word chunking impacts language development. that taking a
philosophy course will impact student life satisfaction. To test
this hypothesis, he collects life satisfaction ratings for all
students in the course at the start of the semester and again at
the end of the semester. Below are the data. What can be concluded
with an α = 0.05?
start | end |
82 75 82 81 91 81 87 76 81 82 |
91 84 86 93 90 88 87 79 88 87 |

c) Obtain/compute the appropriate values to make a
decision about H0.
(Hint: Make sure to write down the null and alternative hypotheses
to help solve the problem.)
critical value =______ ; test statistic = _______
Decision: ---Select---Reject H0Fail to reject H0
d) If appropriate, compute the CI. If not
appropriate, input "na" for both spaces below.
[___ , _______]
e) Compute the corresponding effect size(s) and
indicate magnitude(s).
If not appropriate, input and/or select "na" below.
d =________ ; ---Select---natrivial effectsmall

f) Make an interpretation based on the
results.
Student life satisfaction is significantly lower at the completion of the philosophy course.
Student life satisfaction is significantly higher at the completion of the philosophy course.
Student life satisfaction is not significantly impacted by the philosophy course.
