Question

A researcher conducts two studies on the effectiveness of a peer mentoring program. Self-evaluation ratings among participants before, during, and after the program were measured in both studies. In Study 1, 12 participants were observed, and in Study 2, 16 participants were observed. If Fobt = 3.42 in both studies, then in which study will the decision be to reject the null hypothesis at α= 0.05 level of significance?

Answer 1

Answer:

Study 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, so in this question we are given the data or parameters or information Below;

=>" two studies were conducted on the effectiveness of a peer mentoring program."

=> "Self-evaluation ratings among participants before, during, and after the program were measured in both studies."

=> In Study 1, 12 participants were observed"

=> "Study 2, 16 participants were observed."

=> " If Fobt = 3.42 in both studies"

Say Vo = study 2 and V1 = study 1.

Hence, Vo: not effective.

V1 = effective.

The study in which the decision will be to reject the null hypothesis at α= 0.05 level of significance is the STUDY 2.

This is because the value of F > f-critical.
