After 3 months of a normal diet, the motor skill scores of the nine children (from Question 1 ) are: 48, 68, 77, 46, 47, 46, 41, 51, 34. A researcher is interested in investigating whether the new motor skill scores are worse than the motor skills score of the normal population. The mean for a normal population is 60.
a. State the null and alternative hypotheses (you can use words or notation).
b. Perform a t-test
c. Decide whether to reject or retain the null hypothesis.
d.Compute an effect size (d) for these data.

Nine 30 day old protein-deficient infants are given a motor skills test. The data are : 40, 69, 75, 42, 38, 47, 37, 52, 31. A researcher is interested in investigating whether the motor skills of protein-deficient infants are worse than the normal population. The mean for a normal population is 60. a. State the null and alternative hypotheses (you can use words or notation). b. Perform a t-test c. decide whether to retain or reject null hypothesis d. Compute an...
1) Answer the question True or False. 1) Nonparametric methods focus on the location of the probability distribution, rather than on specific parameters of the population. A) True B) False 2) Nonparametric tests are useful for qualitative data that can be ranked. A) True B) False 3) The sign test provides inferences about the population median rather than the population mean. A) True B) False 4) For a sign test to be valid, a large sample must be selected from...
