A researcher would like to evaluate the effectiveness of a pain-relief patch designed for back pain. Prior to testing the patch, each of n = 8 patients rates their current level of back pain on a scale from 1 to 10. After wearing the patch for 90 minutes, a second pain rating is recorded.

  • State the hypotheses using symbols and words. 
  • Find the critical region. 
  • Calculate the statistic for the difference scores.
    • Write the formula
    • Compute the mean
    • Compute the SS
    • Compute the variance
    • Compute the standard deviation
  • Do you reject or fail to reject the null -- state the words in the context of the scenario provided. 
  • Compute Cohen’s d to measure the size of the effect.
    • Write the formula
    • Compute  Cohen's d
    • Interpret the Cohen's d.
