Document Summary

(cid:1) 210 hypothesis test examples independent t test with homogeneity of variance. A canadian sport psychologist developed the madeup motivation test (mmt; normally distributed in the population with a mean of 25, unknown) to assess persons" commitments to physical training based on the number of hours the person trains each week. Middle school students who are members of the cross-country team are believed to have markedly higher commitments to physical training than their counterparts who are not members of a sports team. To assess this claim, the sports psychologist scored 6 randomly-selected middle school students who are members of the school"s cross-country team and 6 randomly-selected middle school students who are not members of a sports teams on the mmt. Use (cid:2) = . 05 to test the null hypothesis that the students who are cross-country team members have equal or lower mmt levels, on average, than do students who are not members of sports teams.
