1) Babcock and Marks (2010) reviewed survey data from 2003–2005, and obtained an average of μ = 14 per week spent studying by full-time students at four-year colleges in the United States. To determine whether this average has changed in recent years, a researcher selected a sample of n = 64 of today’s college students and obtained an average of M = 12.5 hours . If the standard deviation for the distribution is σ = 4.8 per week, does this sample indicate a significant change in the number of hours spent studying? Use a two-tailed test with α = .05. Report Cohen’s d to indicate the size of the effect if necessary. Step 1,2,3,4,5,6
