Question: Under some circumstances a 6-point treatment effect can be very large, and in some circumstances it can be very small. Assume that a sample of n = 16 individuals is selected from a population with a mean ofµ = 70. A treatment is administered to the sample and, after treatment, the sample mean is found to be M = 76. Notice that the treatment appears to have increased scores by an average of 6 points.

1. If the population standard deviation is σ = 20, is the 6-point effect large enough to be statistically significant? Use a two-tailed test with α = .05.
2. If the population standard deviation is σ = 8, is the 6-point effect large enough to be statistically significant? Use a two-tailed test with α = .05.
