Think about a real world situation or problem that could be addressed using a single-sample t test. For this situation or problem, clearly identify the independent and dependent variables you would study; generate the statistical null and alternative hypotheses; describe what information the effect size would tell you that the
Other research examining the effects of preschool childcare has found that children who spent time in day care, especially high quality daycare, perform better on math and language tests than children who stay at home with their mothers (Broberg, Wessels, Lamb, & Hwang, 1997). Typical results, for example, show that a sample of

Suppose {a_n} (n=1 to N) and {b_n} (n=1 to N) are two finite sequences of complex numbers. Let B_k = sum b_n (sum n=1 to k) denote the partial sum of the series sum (b_n) with the convention B_0=0. a. prove the summation by parts by formula sum (a_n b_n) (sum goes from n=M to N) = a_N B_N -a_M B_{M-1}- sum( [a_{n+1}-a_n}]B
