The first column represents the confidence ratings, the second column whether they power-posed (1) or not (0). What...

A substance abuse researcher wants to know whether reaction time is increased by frequent alcohol use. He randomly selects 52 alcoholics and finds that their mean reaction time (in ms) equals 401.4. Reaction times to the stimulus in the general population are distributed normally with a mean equal to 395 and a standard deviation equal to 80 . Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that reaction times of alcoholics are higher than those of the general population? Use a significance...
