Problem Set F

Scientists conducted an
experiment to test
whether or not the
accidentally introduced
non-native fish species
out-compete the
endangered native
species for food. Here is
the data collected after
months.

Formula and Assumptions

Dependent T-test
(Parametric)
Paired T-test/Paired-samples T-test
Purpose: To determine if there is statistically significant
difference between the means

Degrees of Freedom Formula

Df = N-1

Test Statistic

Solution

Ho: There is no indirect out-competing for food between

the introduced fish and the endangered native fish
(origwt = wt3months)
Ha: There is indirect out-competing for food between the
introduced fish and the endangered native fish (origwt
wt3months)
= 0.05; n=10; Df = n-1 = 10-1 = 9

If t < -1.833 or t > 1.833, reject Ho.

Mean difference = 0.88

SD = 1.0654

Solution

Conclusion

Since 2.61 > 1.833, Reject Ho.

There is indirect out-competing for food between the introduced fish and the endangered native fish
