Problema Solution
based on the information given for the following studiesdecide whether to reject the null hypothesis. For each, give (a)the Z-score cut-off(or cut-offs) on the comparison distribution at which the null hypothesis should be rejected, (b)the Z score on the comparison distribution for the sample score, and (c)your conclusion. Assume that all the populationsare normally distributed.
study
A-D population mean=5(for all)
standard deviation=1(for all)
sample score=7(for all)
p=for study A & B= .05
p= for study C&D = .01
tails of test study a=1(high predicted)
study b=2
study c=1 (high predicted)
study d=2
Answer provided by our tutors
We would take the sample score minus the mean and divide the sum with the standard deviation.
Study A (7 - 5) /1 = 2 We (reject/accept) the null hypothesis because the cut off z score is 1.64
Study B (7 - 5)/1 = 2 We (reject/accept) the null hypothesis because the cut off z score is 1.96
Study C (7 - 5)/1 = 2 This ? because the z score cut off is 2.33
Study D (7 - 5)/1 = 2 This study is ? because the z score cut off is 2.58
