Answer:
We can conclude that there is significant evidence that the drug improves short term memory.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the sample data : 8, 9, 10, 6, 8, 7, 9, 7.
The sample mean, xbar = Σx / n
Sample standard deviation :
√Σ(x - xbar)²/ n-1)
Xbar = 8
Sample size, n = 8
Standard deviation, s = 1.31
H0 : μ = 6
H0 : μ > 6
The test statistic :
(xbar - μ) ÷ (s/√(n))
(8 - 6) / (1.31 / √8)
2 /0.4631549
Test statistic = 4.318
Decision region :
Reject H0 ; if Pvalue < α
α = 0.05
Pvalue from Tscore calculator :
df = n - 1 ; 8 - 1 =7
Pvalue(4.318, 7) = 0.001744
Pvalue < α ; We reject H0 ; and conclude that there is significant evidence that the drug improves short term memory.
