You wish to test the following claim (Ha) at a significance level of α=0.001. For the context of this problem, μd=μ2−μ1 where the first data set represents a pre-test and the second data set represents a post-test.


      Ho:μd=0
      Ha:μd≠0




You believe the population of difference scores is normally distributed, but you do not know the standard deviation. You obtain pre-test and post-test samples for n=50 subjects. The average difference (post - pre) is ¯d=−1.1with a standard deviation of the differences of sd=10.7.


What is the test statistic for this sample? (Report answer accurate to three decimal places.)
test statistic =


What is the p-value for this sample? (Report answer accurate to four decimal places.)
p-value =


The p-value is...




  • less than (or equal to) αα

  • greater than αα







This test statistic leads to a decision to...




  • reject the null

  • accept the null

  • fail to reject the null







As such, the final conclusion is that...




  • There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the mean difference of post-test from pre-test is not equal to 0.

  • There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the mean difference of post-test from pre-test is not equal to 0.

  • The sample data support the claim that the mean difference of post-test from pre-test is not equal to 0.

  • There is not sufficient sample evidence to support the claim that the mean difference of post-test from pre-test is not equal to 0.
