Given the t critical value and the obtained t score, would you
reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis?
What is alpha level (α) of the hypothesis test of in the
study?
What is the critical value for the hypothesis test (use t or z
table)?
What is the obtained t(z) score for the hypothesis test?
What is degree of freedom (df) of this study?
(x – 7) (x - 2)2 Arrests are 2, 1, 6, 4, and 3 per each week. Week Arrests (x) 1 2 2 1 3 6 4 4 5 3
