Extracted text: Suppose you conduct a hypothesis test about a population mean when the standard deviation is unknown by calculating a t statistic and determining whether to reject the null hypothesis. Assume that your t statistic is a positive value and that you will reject the null hypothesis when t is very large. For each of the potential changes to the components of your study design or the results listed below, determine the change to thet statistic, and then select "Increases," "Decreases," or "Stays the same" from the dropdown menu in the right-hand column. Change in Study Design or Results The t statistic An increase in the sample variance (s2) An increase in the obtained difference (M - p) An increase in the sample size (n) An increase in the significance level (such as usinga = .05 instead of a = .01)
