Question

A sample is selected from a population with µ = 80.  After a treatment is administered to the individuals, the sample mean is found to be M = 75 and the variance is s2 = 100.

A. If the sample has n = 4 scores, then calculate the estimated standard error and

               determine whether the sample is sufficient to conclude that the treatment has a

               significant effect?  Use a two-tailed test with α = .05.

B. If the sample has n = 25 scores, then calculate the estimated standard error and

               determine whether the sample is sufficient to conclude that the treatment has a

               significant effect?  Use a two-tailed test with α = .05.

C. Describe how increasing the size of the sample affects the standard error and the

               likelihood of rejecting the null hypothesis.
