Because exercise increases systolic blood pressure, you predict that the average, systolic blood pressure for women athletes during exercise will be significantly greater than the systolic, resting blood pressure (µ = 120). Your alpha level is 0.05. (50 points)
Note: Your test value in SPSS is 120 – not zero.
Sample of women athletes:
Systolic Blood Pressure |
125 |
133 |
120 |
113 |
124 |
131 |
123 |
128 |
124 |
120 |
(Remember, if you are running a one-tailed test, your alpha value is located in one-tail, meaning your p-value needs to be less than 0.05 to reject the null hypothesis.
If you are running a two-tailed test, your alpha value is divided in half, meaning your p-value needs to be less than 0.025 to reject the null hypothesis)
