Question: Does lecithin enhance memory? To test this idea, nine pairs of people matched in terms of age, sex, IQ and neurological status are given capsules containing either lecithin or a placebo at meals for a week. All are scored on a recent memory talk. A higher score indicates better task performance.

- Conduct and interpret the appropriate analysis to determine if lecithin significantly improved memory. (5 pts)
- Create the appropriate graph to show the difference between the two treatment approaches. (2.5 pts)
- People scoring below the 35 th percentile in the Placebo group are going to be ‘tagged’ for further assessment. What score would alert researchers to the need for such assessment?
- After review of the scoring and assessment tool, researchers decided that equal intervals could not be assumed, and that the data should be treated as a rating. Conduct and interpret the appropriate analysis to determine if the lecithin group has significantly better memory. (5 pts)
