Answer:
sensory measurement are lower after hypnotism
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the data :
Before 6.6 6.5 9.0 10.3 11.3 8.1 6.3 11.6
After 6.8 2.4 7.4 8.5 8.1 6.1 3.4 2.0
The difference ;
After - Before, d = 0.2, - 4.1, - 1.6, - 1.8, - 3.2, - 2, - 2.9, - 9.6
Hypothesis :
H0 : μd = 0
H0 : μ < 0
The test statistic ;
T = μd / sd/√n
Where, xd = mean of difference
sd = standard deviation of difference
n = sample size
Mean of difference, μd = Σx/n = - 3.13
Standard deviation of difference, sd = 2.91
T = - 3.13 / 2.91/√8
T = - 3.13 / 1.0288403
T = - 3.042
α = 0.01
The Pvalue using a Pvalue calculator ;
Degree of freedom, df = n - 1 ; 8-1 = 7
Pvalue(-3.042, 7) = 0.00939
Pvalue < α ; we reject the null and conclude that sensory measurement are lower after hypnotism
