Explanation / Answer

a) This is the dependent test.

b) Here we have to test the hypothesis that,

H0 : Mud = 0 Vs H1 : Mud not= 0

where Mud is population mean difference between below and above.

Assume alpha = level of significance = 5% = 0.05

c) We use paired t-test.

Here test statistic follows t-distribution with n-1 degrees of freedom.

We can dopaired t test in MINITAB.

steps :

ENTER data into MINITAB sheet --> Stat --> Basic statistics --> Paired t --> Samples in columns --> First sample : select below data --> Second sample : select above data --> Options --> Confidence level : 95.0 --> Test mean : 0.0 --> Alternative : not equal --> ok --> ok

Welcome to Minitab, press F1 for help.

Paired T-Test and CI: below, above

Paired T for below - above

N Mean StDev SE Mean
below 8 7.00 3.12 1.10
above 8 9.00 3.78 1.34
Difference 8 -2.000 1.927 0.681

95% CI for mean difference: (-3.612, -0.388)
T-Test of mean difference = 0 (vs not = 0): T-Value = -2.94 P-Value = 0.022

Test statistic = -2.94

P-value = 0.022

P-value < alpha

Reject H0 at 5% level of significance.

Conclusion : The population mean difference is differ than 0.

d) 95% confidence interval for mean difference is (-3.612, -0.388).

99% confidence interval for mean difference is (-4.385, 0.385).

e) Cohen's d :

Cohen's d = Xbar - mud / sigma = -2/1.927 = -1.04

Distance is always positive so Cohen's d = 1.04

So Cohen's d > 0.6 therefore large effect size.
