Question
Transcribed Image Text:You wish to test the following claim (Ha) at a significance level of a = 0.05. For the context of this
problem, Ha = PostTest – PreTest where the first data set represents a pre-test and the second data
set represents a post-test. (Each row represents the pre and post test scores for an individual. Be careful
when you enter your data and specify what your ui and μz are so that the differences are computed
correctly.)
Ho: Hd = 0
Ha: Hd + 0
You believe the population of difference scores is normally distributed, but you do not know the standard
deviation. You obtain the following sample of data:

What is the test statistic for this sample?
test statistic =
(Report answer accurate to 4 decimal places.)
What is the p-value for this sample?
p-value =
(Report answer accurate to 4 decimal places.)
Transcribed Image Text:The p-value is...
O less than (or equal to) a
O greater than a
This test statistic leads to a decision to...
O reject the null
accept the null
O fail to reject the null
As such, the final conclusion is that...
O There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the mean difference of post-test
from pre-test is not equal to 0.
O There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the mean difference of post-
test from pre-test is not equal to 0.
O The sample data support the claim that the mean difference of post-test from pre-test is not equal
to 0.
There is not sufficient sample evidence to support the claim that the mean difference of post-test
from pre-test is not equal to 0.

You are interested in the mean score, μ, among the general population on this subsection. The website reports that μ is 142, but you have good reason to believe that μ differs from 142. You decide to do a statistical test. You choose a random sample of people and have them take the personality test. You find that their mean score on the subsection is 146 and that the standard deviation of their scores is 28. Based on this information, complete the parts below. (a) What are the null hypothesis Ho and the alternative hypothesis H1 that should be used for the test? H2:0 H1 (b) Suppose that you decide not to reject the null hypothesis.
