There is not enough information to answer this question.
A local elementary school determined that the average number of volunteers for their "Step into Spring" annual fundraiser has been 14 persons on average (per event). After taking additional measures to recruit volunteers this year, they got 28 people to volunteer. Test whether these additional measures increased the number of volunteers at a .05 level of significance.
one-sample t test
A researcher conducts a study comparing the obesity rate in a small community to the known obesity rate in the United States. Assuming that the population variance in unknown, what type of t test is appropriate for this study?
8.8
In a sample of 20 participants, a researcher estimates the 95% CI for a sample with a mean of M = 5.4 and an estimated standard error (SM) of 1.6. What is the upper confidence limit for this interval?
t statistic
The ______ is an inferential statistic used to determine the number of standard deviations in a t distribution that a sample mean deviates from the mean value or mean difference stated in the null hypothesis.
This advanced training seminar did not reduce response time, t(35) = -1.43, p > .05.
The average response time to a bank robbery is about 9 min. A local community wants to improve on this time, so they implement advanced training seminars. They find that the new response time for a sample of 36 police officers is 8 ± 4.2 (M±SD) min. Test whether this advanced training seminar reduced response time at a .05 level of significance.
The population variance must be known.
To compute a one-sample t test, a researcher has to know many values. Which of the following is NOT a value that the researcher must know to compute this test?
one-sample t test
You read about a study testing whether night shift workers sleep the recommended 8 hr per day. Assuming that the population variance of sleep (per day) is unknown, what type of t test is appropriate for this study?
Test 2 is associated with smaller critical values.
A researcher conducts two t tests. Test 1 is a one-tailed test with a smaller sample size at a .05 level of significance. Test 2 is a one-tailed test with a larger sample size at a .05 level of significance. What do you know about the critical values for each test?
Test 2 is associated with larger degrees of freedom.
A researcher conducts two t tests. Test 1 is a two-tailed test with a smaller sample size at a .05 level of significance. Test 2 is a two-tailed test with a larger sample size at a .05 level of significance. What do you know about the degrees of freedom for each test?
95% CI 0.9, 2.1
In a sample of 28 participants, a researcher estimates the 95% CI for a sample with a mean of M = 1.5 and an estimated standard error (SM) of 0.3. What is the confidence interval at this level of confidence?
