5. A professor theorizes that science students performdifferently on multiple choice tests than on essay tests. Theprofessor recruited 6 science students and had them take both typesof test. Their test scores were recorded. The data are given in thefollowing table. Based on the data, can you support the professor’stheory? Perform an appropriate test at α = 0.01.
Student | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |

Essay | 5 | 8 | 7 | 3 | 9 | 4 |
- Which hypothesis test should be used?
ï¿ one-sample Z-test ï¿ one-sample t-test ï¿independent-samples t-test ï¿ paired-samplest-test
- Step 1. State the hypotheses (both in words and insymbols)
- Step 3: Use SAS to calculate a test statistic (write a SAS codefor reading in the data set and analyzing it, and upload your SAScode on the Cyber campus website). Copy and paste the relevant SASoutput. Report the obtained test statistic and calculate effectsize (Cohen’s d).
- Step 5: State a conclusion (You should include the teststatistic, p-value, effect size, and a verbal interpretation of theresult).
