Question: A researcher hypothesizes that people who listen to music via headphones have greater hearing loss and will thus score lower on a hearing test than those in the general population. On a standard hearing test, the overall mean for the general population is 22.5. The researcher gives this same test to a random sample of 12 individuals who regularly use headphones. Their scores on the test are 15, 14, 20, 20, 25, 22, 21, 19, 16, 17, 21, 22.
- What statistical test should be used to analyze the data?
- Is this a one- or two- tailed test?
- What are H 0 and H a for this study?
- Compute t obt
- Should H 0 be rejected? What should the researcher conclude?
