Question
16. In a study of memory recall, 5 people were given 10 minutes to memorize a list of 20 words. Each was asked to list as many of the words as he or she could remember both 1 hour and 24 hours later. The result is shown in the following table.
1 Is there evidence to suggest that the mean number of words recalled after 1 hour exceeds the mean recall after 24 hours? Assume we want to use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim. (a) Identify the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis. (b) Determine the test statistic. Show all work; writing the correct test statistic, without supporting work, will receive no credit. (c) Determine the P-value. Show all work; writing the correct P-value, without supporting work, will receive no credit. (d) Is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean number of words recalled after 1 hour exceeds the mean recall after 24 hours? Justify your conclusion.

D=ED/n=-18/5=-3.6
S.D=(E(Di-D)2/n-1)=137.2/4=5.8566
tSTAT=D-µ /S.D/n
Where tSTAT has n - 1 d.f
tSTAT=-3.6-0/5.8566/5
=-1.37
The P-Value is .121275.
Do not reject the null hypothesis. Hence, there is no sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean number of words recalled after 1 hour exceeds the mean recall after 24 hours.
