I don't think I would use an anova because I don't have two levels on conditions or two independent variables. I think I would need to use the t-test then. I could divide the employees into two equal groups and compare the means of the two groups. So, my question would be, what would your independent variables be? Employee
You will be asked to determine the correct decision (Reject Ho or Fail to Reject Ho) for each of the following tests of hypotheses. 1. A hypothesis test at the 0.05 level of significance with a p-value for the sample of 0.105. 2. A hypothesis test at the 0.025 level of significance with a p-value for the sample of 0.00

1. As a sample size approaches infinity, how does the student's t distribution compare to the normal z distribution? When a researcher draws a sample from a normal distribution, what can one conclude about the sample distribution? Explain. 2. A mayoral election race is tightly contested. In a random sample of 1,100 likely vot
In drawing an inference using a single mean in hypothesis testing, you often have a choice between doing a z-test or a t-test. Many researchers will always choose to do the t-test even under circumstances where the z-test would work as well. Explain why the t-test was developed and why it is preferred.
