Problem solving template n = df1 + df2 M1= M2= μ1-μ2 = 0 SS1 + SS2= s2p = S(M1-M2) = 1. State the hypothesis s and select alpha (consider one tailed or two tailed) Sate hypothesis in words: Null stated in words: Alternative stated in words: State hypothesis in symbols: Hₒ: State alternative in symbols: H(square): 2. Locate critical region for stated alpha When people learn a new task, their performance usually improves when they are tested the next day, but only if they get 6 hours sleep (Sticckgold, et al., 2000). The following data demonstrate this phenomenon. The participants learned a visual discrimination task on one day. Half of the participants were allowed to have at least 6 hours of sleep and the other half were kept awake all night. 6 hours sleep No sleep n =14 n = 14 M = 72 M =65 SS = 932 SS = 706 Is there a significant difference between the two conditions? Use a two-tailed test with α = .01. Remember use the attached t-distribution chart when obtaining your critical region.
