Question

I wanted to compare my 5 hamsters’ average intelligence to see if they are different from the average intelligence of the 6 hamsters of another faculty member at a different university. Assume α = .01, then the cutoff for my hypothesis testing is ______.

Answer 1

Explanation:

The test to use is the t-test of independent means.

To determine the cutoff for the study then you need to find the degree of freedom and the alpha level. After the hypothesis testing, the calculated t value is then compared to the critical t value from the t distribution table using the degrees of freedom.
