If your experiment, you compared the scores of a set of 20 individuals before and after taking a drug. Your obtained statistic is = 1.58 You re interested in finding a statistically significant difference. Alpha level is 0.05. What is the critical value?
This is two tailed test.
df = n - 1 = 20 - 1 = 19
T critical values at 0.05 significance level with 19 df = -2.093 , 2.093

In Annie's experiment, she compared the scores of a set of 20 individuals before and after taking a drug. Her obtained statistic is 1.58. She's interested in finding a statistically significant difference. Alpha level is 0.05. What is the critical value?
4. A physician wants to compare the blood pressures of six patients before and after treatment with a drug. The blood pressures are as follows: Patient 1 2 3 4 5 6 Before Drug 168 171 182 167 174 170 After Drug 171 170 180 173 178 172 The physician wants to test if there is a significant change of the blood pressure before and after taking the drug at 0.05 level of significance. The absolute value of the test...
Suppose you obtain a chi-square statistic of 67.81. Are your results statistically significant if the critical value obtained from the distribution of chi-square is 3.84 with an alpha level of .05?
ECON 3789 Assignment 2 Name: 3. Test scores. A test on world history was given to a group of individuals before and also after a film on the history of the world was presented. The results are given in the Assignment 2 Excel data file under Test Scores. We want to determine if the film significantly increased the test scores. Conduct the appropriate hypothesis test, using a 5% alpha level (let the difference be d after-before). Step 1: Hypotheses Step...
Let d=(verbal SAT scores prior to taking the prep course)−(verbal SAT scores after taking the prep course). Use a significance level of α=0.05 for the test. Assume that the verbal SAT scores are normally distributed for the population of students both before and after taking the SAT prep course. Student 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Score on first SAT 540 410 430 470 580 450 410 Score on second SAT 570 440 460 500 600 520 460 Step...
3. A sample of 23 Aggie Economics majors was administered a typing test before and after drinking a large cup of coffee. The table below provides the sample standard deviations for scores before the coffee, after the coffee, and differences in scores. How large (in absolute value) must the mean difference in scores be in order to reject the null hypothesis H0:Mean Difference = 0 versus H1: Mean Difference not equal to 0 at the significance level alpha = 5%?...
Attempts:Keep the Highests 4. Sample size, statistical significance, and practical importance Cities across the country are passing higher minimum wages, increasing the discrepancy between the wages in the dity and those in the suburbs. Suppose you are interested in the relationship between unemployment duration in the city and the surrounding suburbs in areas where the dites have minimum wages that are at least $3 higher than the minimum wages of the surrounding suburbs. The results are shown in the following...
A researcher wishes to know if the data she has collected provide sufficient evidence to indicate a difference in mean serum uric acid level between normal individuals and individuals with Down' s syndrome. The data consist of serum uric acid readings on 12 individuals with Downâ€s syndrome and 15 normal individuals. The mean serum uric acid for individuals with Down's syndrome is 4.5 mg/100 ml and SD = 1 and the mean serum uric acid level for normal individuals is...
