Question

Assignment 5 Answer the following questions based on the scenario described below. Points may be deducted if you do not clearly indicate all question numbers and answers or show all the steps in your analyses. A sports nutrition company develops a new energy gel meant to increase exercise endurance. You want to conduct a study to test this claim. You randomly assign a sample of n = 8 participants to two groups. You record the number of minutes n = 4 cyclists in group one can maintain high intensity exercise while consuming only water. You then record the number of minutes n = 4 cyclists in group two can maintain high intensity exercise while consuming water and an energy gel every 20 minutes. The data from your study are provided below: Water 84 81 65 58 Gel 95 88 74 63 Using all 5 steps of hypothesis testing, at the a = .05 level of significance, perform a two-tailed independent samples t test to determine if the number of minutes cyclists could maintain high intensity exercise differed significantly depending on whether they consumed only water or water and the energy gels. 1. Explain why a t test for two independent samples is the appropriate analysis for this study. (1 point) 2. State the null and alternative hypotheses for a two-tailed test using both words and symbols. (.5 points) 3. State the decision criteria for the independent samples t test by filling in the blanks in the following statement: Reject Hifts or ift2 (.5 points) 4. By hand, calculate the test statistic (t statistic) for this study. Show all steps in your analysis. (1.5 points)

Answer 1

H 41 & H2 ie the number of minutes Cyclish could maintain high intensity exercise differed significantly depending they consumed water and the energy gel. Decision criteria Reject Ho if t > tcnith 2-2 4/21 t((nith 2-2) 4/2) or th 4. Under Ho the test statistic is t = x-Y a thith2-2) dif n2 where S = Zlai-2012 + E(Li-I)? (nith 2-2) i=1 Here I Eæi= 288 72 y = n Z 20 Li= 320 = 80 4 2 s = 470 + 614 4+4-2 180.6667 s2 - S = 13.4412 CS Scanned with CamScanner

DATE ti S 72-80 13.4412 u 0-84 17 5) Now Tabulated value value =-t chitha-2 2/2) = -t (4+4-2, 0. 05/2) -t60.025 2.447 Hence Hence t » - t (nitn2-2, 412) -0.8417 7 -2.447 we accept Ho at solo level of significance and conclude that the number minutes cyclists could maintain high intensity exercise not differ significantly depending upon whether they water and do cons amed energy gel.
