Quick note for SPSS users: To get SPSS to run the analysis in the correct “direction” from the Analyze > Compare Means > Paired-Samples T Test... protocol, please enter the after variable first, and the before variable second. (SPSS analyzes using first variable minus second variable.) You wish to test the following claim (HaHa) at a significance level of α=0.001α=0.001. For the context of this problem, μd=μ2−μ1μd=μ2-μ1 where the first data set represents a pre-test and the second data set represents a post-test. Ho:μd=0Ho:μd=0 Ha:μd≠0Ha:μd≠0 You believe the population of difference scores is normally distributed, but you do not know the standard deviation. You obtain the following sample of data: pre-test post-test 55 57.2 45.3 38.5 42.3 41.7 41.9 19.5 37 35.9 51.4 42.9 48 49.9 43.3 34.5 41.3 34.3 42.1 35.3 51.2 31.2 53.6 50.1 53.6 67.1 47.2 46.9 46.4 38.1 31.6 32.6 52.7 41.6 44.8 41.1 What is the test statistic for this sample? (Report answer accurate to three decimal places.) test statistic = What is the p-value for this sample? (Report answer accurate to four decimal places.) p-value = The p-value is... less than (or equal to) αα greater than αα This test statistic leads to a decision to... reject the null accept the null fail to reject the null As such, the final conclusion is that... There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the mean difference of post-test from pre-test is not equal to 0. There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the mean difference of post-test from pre-test is not equal to 0. The sample data support the claim that the mean difference of post-test from pre-test is not equal to 0. There is not sufficient sample evidence to support the claim that the mean difference of post-test from pre-test is not equal to 0.

What is the test statistic for this sample? (Report answer accurate to three decimal places.)
test statistic =
What is the p-value for this sample? (Report answer accurate to four decimal places.)
p-value =
The p-value is...
- less than (or equal to) αα
- greater than αα
This test statistic leads to a decision to...
- reject the null
- accept the null
- fail to reject the null
As such, the final conclusion is that...
- There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the mean difference of post-test from pre-test is not equal to 0.
- There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the mean difference of post-test from pre-test is not equal to 0.
- The sample data support the claim that the mean difference of post-test from pre-test is not equal to 0.
- There is not sufficient sample evidence to support the claim that the mean difference of post-test from pre-test is not equal to 0.
