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. Score on the Memory Test Before a Meal 63 92 54 67 76 54 86 69 85 71 After a Meal 54 80 44 66 72 51 89 64 83 65 Assume a Normal distribution. What can be concluded at the the αα = 0.10 level of significance? For this study, we should use Select an answer t-test for the difference between two independent population means t-test for a population mean t-test for the difference between two dependent population means z-test for a population proportion z-test for the difference between two population proportions The null and alternative hypotheses would be: H0:H0: Select an answer μ1 p1 μd Select an answer ≠ < > = Select an answer 0 p2 μ2 (please enter a decimal) H1:H1: Select an answer p1 μ1 μd Select an answer = ≠ < > Select an answer p2 0 μ2 (Please enter a decimal) The test statistic ? t z = (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) The p-value = (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.) The p-value is ? ≤ > αα Based on this, we should Select an answer accept fail to reject reject the null hypothesis. Thus, the final conclusion is that ... The results are statistically insignificant at αα = 0.10, 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 insignificant at αα = 0.10, 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 = 0.10, 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 significant at αα = 0.10, 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. 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 0.38% chance that the mean memory score for the 10 people who took the test before a meal would be at least 4.9 points higher than the mean memory score for the 10 people who took the test after a meal. If the sample mean 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 0.38% chance of concluding that the mean memory score for the 10 people who took the test before a meal is at least 4.9 points higher than the mean memory score for the 10 people who took the test after a meal. There is a 0.38% chance of a Type I error. There is a 0.38% chance that the mean memory score for the 10 people who took the test before a meal is at least 4.9 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 10% chance that the population mean memory score is the same before and after a meal. There is a 10% chance that your memory is so bad that you have already forgotten what this chapter is about. 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 10% 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 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 10% chance that we would end up falsely concuding that the sample mean memory scores before and after a meal for these 10 people who were part of the study differ from each other.
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.

For this study, we should use Select an answer t-test for the difference between two independent population means t-test for a population
- The null and alternative hypotheses would be:
H0:H0: Select an answer μ1 p1 μd Select an answer ≠ < > = Select an answer 0 p2 μ2 (please enter a decimal)
H1:H1: Select an answer p1 μ1 μd Select an answer = ≠ < > Select an answer p2 0 μ2 (Please enter a decimal)
- The test statistic ? t z = (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.)
- The p-value = (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.)
- The p-value is ? ≤ > αα
- Based on this, we should Select an answer accept fail to reject reject the null hypothesis.
