Consider the following data from a repeated-measures design. You want to use a repeated-measures t test to test the null hypothesis H0: µD = 0 (the null hypothesis states that the mean difference for the general population is zero).

Question

Consider the following data from a repeated-measures design. You want to use a repeated-measures t test to test the null hypothesis H0: µD = 0 (the null hypothesis states that the mean difference for the general population is zero). The data consist of five observations, each with two measurements, A and B, taken before and after a treatment. Assume the population of the differences in these measurements are normally distributed.

Observation A B
1 1 3
2 3 4
3 5 7
4 4 4
5 8 9

You conduct a two-tailed test at α = .05. To find the critical value (in the table) you first need to get the degrees of freedom, which is                             [ Select ]                          ["3", "4", "5"]             

 
The critical values (the values for t-scores that separate the tails from the main body of the distribution, forming the critical region) are ±                             [ Select ]                          ["2.571", "2.776", "3.182", "4.032"]           

Based on this our finding                             [ Select ]                          ["is", "is not"]            significant and we                             [ Select ]                          ["reject", "fail to reject"]            the null hypothesis.
