A random sample of n 16 individuals is selected
from a population with μ 70, and a treatment is
administered to each individual in the sample. After
treatment, the sample mean is found to be M 76
with SS 960.
a. How much difference is there between the mean for
the treated sample and the mean for the original
population? (Note: In a hypothesis test, this value
forms the numerator of the t statistic.)
b. How much difference is expected just by chance

.05.
