A major company would like to assess the impact of using a professional trainer to conduct a confidence-building workshop with its salespeople. A sample of 16 workers is obtained. Half (n = 8) attend the workshop and the other half (n = 8) serve as a control group. Two weeks later, each of the participants is given a questionnaire measuring the level of self-confidence. The data are as follows: Controls Workshop M = 17.5 M = 22.7 SS = 100 SS = 124 What type of t-test would you have to conduct in this scenario? Are the data sufficient to conclude that the treatment has a significant effect? Use a two-tailed test with α = .05. State the hypothesis, find the critical region, calculate your test statistic, evaluate your hypothesis then calculate the Cohen’s d measure for this scenario. State whether this is a weak, moderate, or strong effect.
