A distribution with µ = 55 and σ = 6 is being standardized so that the new mean and standard deviation will be µ = 50 and σ = 10.  When the distribution is standardized, what value will be obtained for a score of X = 58 from the original distribution?

An independent-measures research study uses two samples, each with n = 12 participants.  If the data produce a t statistic of t = 2.50, then which of the following is the correct decision for a two-tailed hypothesis test?

What is the value of Σ(X – 2) for the following scores?  Scores: 2, 3, 5

A student investigated how washing with soap affects bacteria levels on the hands. She tested three different methods—washing with water only, washing with regular soap, and washing with antibacterial soap. She randomly assigned 99 students to one of the 3 treatments. Participants washed their hands with the assigned method and cultures were taken and incubated. Based on the SPSS output below, was there a significant difference among the three hand-washing methods and why?
