A sample of n = 49 scores with M = 43 is selected from a population with µ = 40 with σ = 21. What is the standard error for the sample mean?
If the researcher decides to test this hypothesis at the = 0.05 level of significance, determine the critical value. The critical value are=_ and=_. Round to three decimal places as needed.
A random sample is selected from a normal population with a mean of μ=50 and a standard deviation of σ=12. After a treatment is administered to the individuals in the sample, the sample mean is found to be M=55.
If the sample consists of n=16 scores, is the sample mean sufficient to conclude that the treatment has a significant effect? Use a two-tailed test with α =0.05.
If the sample consists of n=36 scores, is the sample mean sufficient to conclude that the treatment has a significant effect? Use a two-tailed test with α =0.05.
Compare your answers for parts a and b, explain how the size of the sample influences the outcome of a hypothesis test.
