A researcher believes that the so-called “sugar high” is not real. He gathered 30 adolescents and recorded their activity level in the scale of 0 – 100 (0 = not active and 100 = super active). First, he recorded participants’ activity level before they consumed candy. After recording their pre-sugar activity level, the researcher gave out 5 Snickers bars to participants. Then, he recorded their post-sugar activity level. The average difference between post-sugar and pre-sugar activity level is 50 (i.e., the activity levels are higher after sugar than prior to it) with a standard deviation of 10.
A). What is the type of test you will use? (z-test, single-sample t-test, paired-samples t-test, or independent samples t-test) and why (what information provided in the problem)B). What are the hypotheses (Be Specific)

- The smaller screenshot is the current problem and the longer screenshot is the questions being asked on current problem that I currently need help with.arrow_forwardSuppose the relationship between Y and X is given by: Y = 25 - 3X + error By how much does the expected value of Y change if X decreases by 1 unit?arrow_forwardFor data that is not normally distributed we can't use z-scores. However, there is an equation that works on any distribution. It's called Chebyshev's formula. The formula is where P=1- 1/k2 p is the minimum percentage of scores that fall within kk standard deviations on both sides of the mean. Use this formula to answer the following questions. b) If you have scores that are normally distributed, find the percentage of scores that fall within 3.3 standard deviations on both sides of the mean? c) If you have scores and you don't know if they are normally distributed, how many standard deviations on both sides of the mean do we need to go to have 35 percent of the scores? Note: To answer part c you will need to solve the equation for k.k. A manufacturer knows that their items have a normally distributed length, with a mean of 5.3 inches, and standard deviation of 1.5 inches.If one item is chosen at random, what is the probability that it is less than 8.3 inches long?arrow_forward
- Suppose a consumer product researcher wanted to find out whether a highlighter lasted longer than the manufacturer's claim that their highlighters could write continuously for 14 hours. The researcher tested 40 highlighters and recorded the number of continuous hours each highlighter wrote before drying up. Test the hypothesis that the highlighters wrote for more than 14 continuous hours. Following are the summary statistics: x = 14.5 hours, s = 1,2 hoursarrow_forwardA sample of n = 6 scores has a mean of M = 10.
