Answer:  The answer is Yes.


Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Michael estimated his mass and found it to be 8 kilograms. It may sound awkward to us, but its true. Because when we measure our weight by the weight machine it gives us the product of our actual mass and the acceleration due to gravity.

From second law of motion, we have

Weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity.

That is, W = m × 9.8 m/sec².

The unit of mass is kilogram and 1 kg m/sec² = 1 Newton. Therefore, the unit of the weight we generally measure is Newton (N), not kilogram. Here is what we make mistake usually.

Thus, if Michael' mass is 8 kg, then his weight will be

W = 8 × 9.8 kg m/sec² = 78.4 N, which is normal weight of a person.

Thus, his estimation is perfectly OK.

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

a

Yes the researcher can  conclude that the supplement has a significant effect on cognitive skill

b

d =  0.5778

c

The result of this hypothesis test shows that there is sufficient evidence to  that the supplement had significant effect.The measure of effect size is  large due to the large value of Cohen's d (0.5778 > 0.30 )

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The sample size is  n=16

    The sample mean is  M  =  50.2

    The standard deviation is \sigma  = 9

    The  population mean is  \mu =  45

     The level of significance is  \alpha =  0.05

The null hypothesis is H_o  \mu =45

The alternative hypothesis is H_a  \mu \ne 45

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

          z =  \frac{M -  \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }

=>       z =  \frac{50.2 - 45}{\frac{9}{\sqrt{16} } }

=>       z =  2.31

Generally the p-value is mathematically represented as

     p-value  =  2 *  P(Z >  z )

      p-value  =  2 *  P(Z >  2.31 )

From the z-table  

      P(Z >  2.31 ) = 0.010444

=>     p-value  =  2 *  0.010444

=>     p-value  =  0.021

From the obtained values we see that p-value <  0.05

 Decision Rule

 Reject the null hypothesis

Conclusion

There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the supplement has a significant effect on the cognitive skill of elderly adults

Generally the Cohen's d for this study is mathematically represented as

    d =  \frac{M  -  \mu}{\sigma }

=>  d =  \frac{50.2 -45}{9 }

=>  d =  0.5778
