A school psychologist interested in the effect of a program designed to help with adjustment problems in newly transferred students knew from her years of working at the school that the average score on a scale of adjustment difficulties for transfer students was 58 with a standard deviation of 10. After starting the program, the psychologist tested 50 students and found their mean to be 52. Using the .05 level of significance, was this difference significant? (two-tailed test)
1. Determine the cutoff sample score on the comparison distribution at which the null hypothesis should be rejected. (3 points)
2. Determine your sample’s score on the comparison distribution. (NO SKETCH NEEDED JUST REPORT YOUR SCORE) (3 points)
3. Decide whether or not to reject the null hypothesis (3 points)

A cognitive psychologist is interested in whether increasing reading speed improves comprehension. He has students complete a reading comprehension task before and after a six-week speed reading course. In the beginning of the study, a randomly selected group of B1 students scored an average of 102 points on the reading comprehension task. Since the sample size is larger than 30, the cognitive psychologist can assume that the sampling distribution of M_D is normal. He plans to use a repeated-measures t-test....
