A research report describing the results from a repeatedmeas

A research report describing the results from a repeated-measures t test states that “t(22) = 1.71,  p > .05.” From this report, what was the outcome of the hypothesis test?

A.) Reject the null hypothesis with a sample of n = 23 participants

B.) Fail to reject the null hypothesis with a sample of n = 23 participants

C.) Reject the null hypothesis with a sample of n = 22 participants

D.) Fail to reject the null hypothesis with a sample of n = 22 participants

Solution

Option B correct.

Given t(23-1=22)df therefore n = 23 and P > 0.05 we accept H0. That is, Fail to reject the null hypothesis with a sample of n = 23 participants
