Is memory ability before a meal better than after a meal?  Ten people were given memory tests before their meal and then again after their meal. The data is shown below. A higher score indicates a better memory ability.

Assume a Normal distribution.  What can be concluded at the α = 0.01 level of significance?

Answer all parts to at least 4 decimals

For this study, we should use Select an answer z-test for the difference between two population proportions t-test for the difference between two independent population means z-test for a population proportion t-test for a population mean t-test for the difference between two dependent population means 

  1. The null and alternative hypotheses would be:   
  2.   

 H0:H0:  Select an answer p1 μ1 μd  Select an answer > < = ≠  Select an answer μ2 p2 0    

 H1:H1:  Select an answer p1 μd μ1  Select an answer ≠ < = >  Select an answer 0 μ2 p2 

  1. The test statistic ? z t  = 
  2. The p-value = 
  3. The p-value is ? > ≤  α
  4. Based on this, we should Select an answer (accept) or (fail to reject) or the null hypothesis.
  5. Thus, the final conclusion is that ...
    • The results are statistically insignificant at αα = 0.01, so there is insufficient evidence to conclude that the population mean memory score before a meal is higher than the population mean memory score after a meal.
    • The results are statistically significant at αα = 0.01, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the ten memory scores from the memory tests that were taken before a meal are higher on average than the ten memory scores from the memory tests that were taken after a meal.
    • The results are statistically insignificant at αα = 0.01, so there is statistically significant evidence to conclude that the population mean memory score before a meal is equal to the population mean memory score after a meal.
    • The results are statistically significant at αα = 0.01, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the population mean memory score before a meal is higher than the population mean memory score after a meal
  6. Interpret the p-value in the context of the study.
    • There is a 0.54% chance of a Type I error.
    • If the population mean memory score before a meal is the same as the population mean memory score after a meal and if another 10 people are given a memory test before and after a meal then there would be a 0.54% chance that the mean memory score for the 10 people who took the test before a meal would be at least 5.3 points higher than the mean memory score for the 10 people who took the test after a meal.
    • If the sample means memory score for the 10 people who took the test before a meal is the same as the sample mean memory score for the 10 people who took the test after a meal and if another 10 people are given a memory test before and after a meal then there would be a 0.54% chance of concluding that the mean memory score for the 10 people who took the test before a meal is at least 5.3 points higher than the mean memory score for the 10 people who took the test after a meal.
    • There is a 0.54% chance that the mean memory score for the 10 people who took the test before a meal is at least 5.3 points higher than the mean memory score for the 10 people who took the test after a meal.
  7. Interpret the level of significance in the context of the study.
    • There is a 1% chance that your memory is so bad that you have already forgotten what this chapter is about.
    • There is a 1% chance that the population's mean memory score is the same before and after a meal.
    • If the population mean memory score before a meal is the same as the population mean memory score after a meal and if another 10 people are given a memory test before and after a meal, then there would be a 1% chance that we would end up falsely concluding that the sample means memory scores before and after a meal for these 10 people who were part of the study differ from each other.
    • If the population mean memory score before a meal is the same as the population mean memory score after a meal and if another 10 people are given a memory test before and after a meal, then there would be a 1% chance that we would end up falsely concuding that the population mean memory score before a meal is higher than the population mean memory score after a meal
