Participation in organized social activities (e.g., sports, clubs/groups) seems to improve self-esteem in adolescents. In one study, a sample of 100 adolescents with a history of group participation are given a self-esteem questionnaire. Researchers already know that the scores on this questionnaire are normally distributed and that the general population of adolescents have a mean score of µ = 50 and σ = 15. The sample (N = 100) produces a mean score of M = 53.8. Calculate Cohen’s d based on this information; show all of your calculations for full credit.

Scores on this standardized self-esteem questionnaire range from 10-100, with higher scores indicating higher levels of self-esteem. For the general population of American teenagers, the average score is 50 points (SD = 15 points). What is the z-score for Wallace, whose self-esteem score is 46? What is the z-score...
Research data indicates that adolescents, especially girls, experience an increase in self-esteem when given a team-sports leadership program. To evaluate this result, a researcher obtains (randomly) a sample of n = 9 adolescent girls, all 13 years old. After they participate in the program a self-esteem test is given to each participant and the average score for the sample is M = 84. It is know that the distribution of self-esteem scores for the population of girls is normal with µ = 75....
