Yes, p <. 05, reject the null and it is a significant difference No, p is not <. 05, do not reject the null and there is no significant difference Remember, it never will be if the observed t is less than one small observed t score
Decrease variability or decrease level of confidence It is easier to reject the null It gets narrower Easier; use a one-tail test when you have a unidirectional prediction Use a t-test when don’t know population standard deviation and only have sample standard deviation (Same is true for variance or variability)
Type of cartoon Two-tail 48 Level of aggression True 2. 011 Type of cartoon will not affect level of aggression Type of cartoon will not affect aggression when it fact it will Type of cartoon will affect aggression when it fact it will not
Common and rare scores Go down from. 05 to. 01 Mean approaches the true population mean Shape approaches normality Variability goes down No, never reject null if the prediction in a one-tailed test is wrong
