Question

Paired-samples t test

Choosing a hypothesis test: Talarico and Rubin (2003) recorded the memories of 54 students just after the terrorist attacks in the United States on September 11, 2001—some memories related to the terrorist attacks on that day (called flashbulb memories for their vividness and emotional content) and some everyday memories. They found that flashbulb memories were no more consistent over time than everyday memories, even though they were perceived to be more accurate. Which hypothesis test would you use for this scenario? (Note: In the actual study described, the researchers did not necessarily use one of these tests, often because the actual experiment had additional variables.)

Paired-samples t test

Explanation / Answer

AS WE HAVE THE SAMPLE SIZE = 54 WHICH IS HIGHER THEN 30

THEREFORE THE BEST SUITED HYPOTHESIS TEST WILL BE Z TEST

THEREFORE OPTION C IS CORRECT
