To calculate the mean difference
#4

When conducting a paired t-test, what assumption must be met regarding the data?

Data should be normally distributed
Data should have equal variances
Observations should be independent
Data should be skewed
#5

What is the purpose of calculating the mean difference in paired data analysis?

To determine the correlation coefficient
To estimate the effect size
To identify outliers
To assess normality
#6

When interpreting the p-value in a paired t-test, what does a p-value less than the significance level indicate?

There is no significant difference between means
There is a significant difference between means
There is a strong correlation between variables

#7

In a study comparing blood pressure before and after treatment in the same group of patients, what type of data analysis is appropriate?

Independent samples t-test
Chi-square test
Paired t-test
Regression analysis
#8

When conducting a paired t-test, what does the test statistic indicate?

The difference between sample means
The effect size
The significance of the difference between means

#9

What is the appropriate conclusion if the p-value in a paired t-test is greater than the significance level?

Reject the null hypothesis
Fail to reject the null hypothesis
Accept the alternative hypothesis
Conclude there is no effect
#10

What assumption must be met for the differences between paired observations to be normally distributed?
