Please use the following information to answer 7a-7e: 

In a study examining the effect of alcohol on reaction time, Liguori and Robinson (2001) found that even moderate alcohol consumption significantly slower response time to an emergency situation in a driving simulation. In a similar study, researchers measured reaction time 30 minutes after participants consumed one 6-ounce glass of wine. Again, they used a standardized driving simulation task for which the regular population averages µ = 400 msec. The distribution of reaction times is approximately normal with σ = 40. Assume that the researcher obtained a sample mean of = 422 for the = 25 participants in the study.

Does the data provide evidence that the alcohol significantly increased (slowed) reaction time? Use a one-tailed test with α = .05.

7a. Which of the following correctly represents the null and alternative hypothesis for the mentioned sample of = 25 (MUST SHOW WORK FOR THIS PROBLEM)? 

a. Ho: µ = 400,  H1: µ ≠ 400

b. Ho: µ ≥ 400,  H1: µ < 400

c. Ho: µ > 400,  H1: µ ≤ 400

d. Ho: µ ≤ 400,  H1: µ > 400 

 

 

7b. Which of the following represents the critical region for this mentioned sample (MUST SHOW WORK FOR THIS PROBLEM)?

Group of answer choices
a. = ±1.65
b. = -1.96
c. = 1.65 
d. = ±1.96
 
 

7e. Based on the previously conducted steps, we can conclude (MUST SHOW WORK FOR THIS PROBLEM):

Group of answer choices
a. The alcohol significantly decreased reaction time.
b. The alcohol significantly increased reaction time.
c. The alcohol had a significant effect on reaction time.
d. The alcohol did not have a significant effect on reaction time.
