Question

z test

Choosing a hypothesis test: The HOPE VI Panel Study (Popkin & Woodley, 2002) was initiated to test a U.S. program aimed at improving troubled public housing developments. Residents of five HOPE VI developments were examined at the beginning of the study so researchers could later ascertain whether their quality of life had improved. Means at the beginning of the study were compared to known national data sources (e.g., the U.S. Census, the American Housing Survey) that had summary statistics, including means and standard deviations. Which hypothesis test you 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.)
