- he personality trait of "Conscientiousness" (someone who is organized, responsible, and can control their impulses) has μ = 120 and σ =9. Test whether ARC students (n = 9, M = 126) differ on Conscientiousness. α = .05. What is the correct result based on the data?arrow_forwardFifty male subjects drank a measured amount x (in ounces) of a medication and the concentration y (in percent) in their blood of the active ingredient was measured 30 minutes later.

Ten years ago, the average level was 15 parts per million (ppm). Suppose we are interested in testing whether the average level today is less than 15 ppm. Describe the type I error for the test of hypothesis. O The mean mercury level is equal to 15 ppm when in fact the mean is less than 15 ppm. O The mean mercury level is less than 15 ppm when in fact the mean is equal to 15 ppm. O The mean mercury level is greater than 15 ppm when in fact the mean is equal to 15 ppm.arrow_forward
