Callahan (2009) demonstrated that Tai Chi can significantly reduce symptoms for individuals with arthritis. Participants were 18 years old or older with doctor-diagnosed arthritis. Self-reports of pain and stiffness were measured at the beginning of an 8-week Tai Chi course and again at the end. Suppose that the data produced an average decrease in pain and stiffness of MD = 8.5 points with a standard deviation of 21.5 for a sample of n = 40 participants. a. Use a two-tailed test with α = .05 to determine whether the Tai Chi had a significant effect on pain and stiffness. b. Compute Cohen’s d to measure the size of the treatment effect.

Confidence Intervals

When we calculate intervals in probability and statistics, it can be simply termed as finding out a confidence interval. The confidence interval is usually calculated from the data set which is observed. The value of the parameter that needs to be calculated is present here only.
