Question 4 Answers
This is a matched pair design. Input Group S into list, L1 and Group N into list, L2. Then
place the differences into list, L3. Finally perform a 1–sample t test on the differences (i.e., L3).
- Use TTest. Let α = 0.05. The hypotheses are: H0: μ = 0 and
Ha: μ ≠ 0. The P–value = 0.0229. Since P–value ≤ α/2, we
reject H0. This means there is a difference in the test results of the twins in the two different
groups.
- Use TInt. The 95% CI for the mean of the sample difference is –5.67 to –0.5799. Note that if you
put Group S into list, L2 and Group N into list, L1, then your 95% CI for the mean of the
sample difference is 0.5799 to 5.67.
