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 Will the 6-hour sleep show a much higher performance rate? This time use a one-tail with alpha = .05    Show all of the steps. Remember use the attached t-distribution chart when  obtaining your critical region.

Question

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

Will the 6-hour sleep show a much higher performance rate? This time use a one-tail with alpha = .05    Show all of the steps.

Remember use the attached t-distribution chart when  obtaining your critical region.
