In an experiment to assess whether or not regrown feathers on birds are more yellow than original feathers. A regrown (atypical) and original (typical) feather is each harvested from 16 birds, and their yellowness index computed. A t-test was then conducted to a = 0.05 level to assess if there is evidence to conclude that regrown feathers are more yellow, with the results shown below. Lower values are more yellow. t. test (Yellowness Type, WiebeandBortolotti 2002b, conf.level = Welch Two Sample t-test data: Yellowness by Type t = -3.56, df = 29.971, p-value = 0.00063 0.95, alternative = "1") alternative hypothesis: true difference in means between group Atypical and group Typical is less than 0 95 percent confidence interval: -Inf -0.0717478 sample estimates: mean in group Atypical mean in group Typical Cohen's d -.176125 -0.039000 d estimate: -1.258657 (large) 95 percent confidence interval: lower upper -2.0489749 -0.4683385 1.
