Answer:
b. No, there was no difference between Morning (M= 32), and Evening (M=40.625), (t [7] = 1.15, p > .05).
Step-by-step explanation:
The critical value for one tailed test is t ∝(7) > 1.895
A one tailed test is performed to test the claim that advertisements were viewed more in the morning (before noon) or in the evening (after 5pm)
The null and alternative hypotheses are
H0: μm = μe vs Ha μm > μe
where μm is the mean of the morning and μe is the mean of evening.
The calculated value of t = -1.152587077 which is less than the critical region hence the null hypothesis cannot be rejected .
P(T<=t) one-tail 0.143458126 > 0.05
If two tailed test is performed the critical region is t Critical two-tail 2.364624252
and the calculated t value is -1.152587077 which again does not lie in the critical region .
Hence μm = μe or μm ≤ μe
P(T<=t) two-tail 0.286916252 > 0.025
Therefore
b. No, there was no difference between Morning (M= 32), and Evening (M=40.625), (t [7] = 1.15, p > .05).
Option b gives the best answer.
