Kindergarten students were participants in a study investigating fine motor skills of 37 children. The children had their fine motor skills measured before the study (a combination of hand use, eye-hand coordination, and manual dexterity) and again after undergoing 7 months of occupational therapy. With the instrument used, high scores indicated stronger fine motor skills. Summary statistics are given below: Difference n Sample Diff Std. Err. Min Max d = Pre - Post 37 -7.8109 2.0715 -36 9 Can one conclude the fine motor skills in a population similar to these students would be stronger after 7 months of occupational therapy? Use a significance level of 0.05. Ho - μd = 0Ha - μd < 0 α = _____ Reject Ho if probability is ______ (<,>,=) α TS: t = _____ probability = Therefore we _________ (Reject Ho/Do Not reject Ho) At the 0.05 level, there __________(is/is not) significant evidence to conclude occupational therapy strengthens the mean fine motor scores.

d = Pre - Post | 37 | -7.8109 | 2.0715 | -36 | 9 |
Can one conclude the fine motor skills in a population similar to these students would be stronger after 7 months of occupational therapy? Use a significance level of 0.05.
Ho - μd = 0
Ha - μd < 0
α = _____
Reject Ho if probability is ______ (<,>,=) α
TS: t = _____
probability =
Therefore we _________ (Reject Ho/Do Not reject Ho)
At the 0.05 level, there __________(is/is not) significant evidence to conclude occupational therapy strengthens the mean fine motor scores.
