You wish to test the following claim (HaHa) at a significance
level of α=0.001α=0.001. For the context of this problem,
μd=μ2−μ1μd=μ2-μ1 where the first data set represents a pre-test and
the second data set represents a post-test.
Ho:μd=0Ho:μd=0
Ha:μd≠0Ha:μd≠0
You believe the population of difference scores is normally
distributed, but you do not know the standard deviation. You obtain
pre-test and post-test samples for n=229n=229 subjects. The average
difference (post - pre) is ¯d=3.3d¯=3.3 with a standard deviation
of the differences of sd=19.4sd=19.4.
What is the critical value for this test? (Report answer accurate
to three decimal places.)
critical value = ±±
What is the test statistic for this sample? (Report answer accurate
to three decimal places.)
test statistic =
The test statistic is...
This test statistic leads to a decision to...
As such, the final conclusion is that...
