Question

A researcher is interested in whether people are able to identify emotions correctly when they are extremely tired. It is known that, using a particular method of measurement, the accuracy ratings of people in the general population (who are not extremely tired) are normally distributed with a mean of 82 and a variance of 20. In the present study, the researcher arranges to test 50 people who had not slept the previous night. The researcher predicts that these people will have different accuracy than the general population, but does not predict a direction. The mean accuracy for these 50 individuals was a 78. Using the .05 level of significance, what should the researcher conclude?

What are the characteristics of the comparison distribution? (μM, σ²M, σM)

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
