Hypothesis Testing Answer To Problem 1

The study examined the effectiveness of a new counseling program in reducing anxiety levels in patients undergoing heart surgery. It found that while the average anxiety level was slightly lower after the counseling program, the difference was not statistically significant. There was not enough evidence to conclude that the counseling program reduced anxiety levels.

The new counseling program is not effective in reducing anxiety levels of patient who will undergo

The new counseling program is effective in reducing anxiety levels of patient who will undergo corrective
𝐻1 : 𝜇𝑏𝑒𝑓 − 𝜇𝑎𝑓𝑡 > 0
heart surgery.

Step 2 𝛼 = 0.05 *not stated therefore, use 0.05 as the level of significance

Step 3 one-tailed, t-test for paired samples (or dependent samples)

𝑥ҧ𝑏𝑒𝑓 = 107.14 𝑡 𝑆𝑡𝑎𝑡 = 0.91


Step 4 You may present the values in this step in tabular form
𝑥𝑎𝑓𝑡
ҧ = 106.14 𝐶𝑉 = 1.77
𝑠𝑑𝑏𝑒𝑓 =11.24 𝑝 = 0.191
𝑠𝑑𝑎𝑓𝑡 = 9.22

Step 5 Since p>0.05, failed to reject the null hypothesis.

Therefore, there is not enough sample evidence to show that the new counseling program is effective in reducing the anxiety levels of
Step 6 patients who will undergo corrective heart surgery.
*Therefore, there is not enough sample evidence to reject the claim that the new counseling program is not effective in reducing the
anxiety levels of patients who will undergo corrective heart surgery.
*Alternative conclusion (another way of stating the conclusion)

Interpretations of sample mean and sample standard deviation


The anxiety level of the patients before undergoing the program is relatively higher than their
Sample Means: anxiety levels after the counseling.
The scores on the anxiety level of the patients after undergoing the program is more
Sample SD: homogeneous than their scores before the counseling.
*Note: You may give interpretations similar to the above statements.
