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.

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
- The null and alternative hypotheses would be:
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
- The test statistic ? z t =
- The p-value =
- The p-value is ? > ≤ α
- Based on this, we should Select an answer (accept) or (fail to reject) or the null hypothesis.
- 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
- 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.
- 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
