QUESTION 1:

You have an SRS of 16 observations from a Normally distributed population.


What critical value (±±0.001) would you use to obtain a 99% confidence interval for the mean μμ of the population?    

QUESTION 2:

The placebo effect is particularly strong in patients with Parkinson's disease. To understand the workings of the placebo effect, scientists measure activity at a key point in the brain when patients receive a placebo that they think is an active drug and also when no treatment is given. The same six patients are measured both with and without the placebo, at different times. The six differences (treatment minus control) had x¯¯¯x¯ = -0.321 and s = 0.177.

The value of the t statistic (±0.01) is  .


Is there significant evidence of a difference between treatment and control?

Yes

No
