Question

The population of college students using “normal shoes” is able to complete a particular racecourse in an average of 250 seconds. The standard deviation for this population is 20 seconds and the population is normally distributed. A random sample of 28 college students is given a special pair of new shoes and asked to run the course. The average “race time” for this group is 243 seconds. The designer of the shoes feels his shoes should alter the race times of those individuals who use them.

If we double the sample size are the results statistically significant? What happens with the effect size? Provide necessary values and explain in detail.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
