T Test

The document summarizes a study that tested whether a sandwich shop was putting less protein in its sandwiches than advertised. A sample of 16 sandwiches from the shop contained an average of 7.9 grams of protein with a standard deviation of 2.1 grams. The shop claimed to use 9 grams of protein per sandwich. Following a four-step hypothesis test process at a 95% confidence level, the results showed a t-value of -2.08, allowing the researcher to reject the null hypothesis that there was the same amount of protein. The effect size, as measured by Cohen's d, was found to be moderate. It was concluded that the shop was putting significantly less protein in its sandwiches.

Research Question:
A well-known sandwich chain puts 9 grams of protein on its sandwiches. A customer complained to the home office
that a particular outlet was putting "hardly any meat" on its sandwiches. A random sample of n = 16 sandwiches from
the sandwich shop in question were weighed. The results showed a M = 7.9 with s = 2.1. Did the shop put significantly
less protein on its sandwiches? Test at a = .05.

Perform the following:

1. Four steps of HyT (show your solution)

2. Cohen's d

Step 1:
H0 = There is the same amount of protein | μ = 9 grams
H1 = There is less amount of protein | μ < 9 grams

Step 2:

α: 0.05 One tailed test


df = 15

tcrit = +
− 1.753

Step 3:

M = 7.9 n = 16 s = 2.1 μ=9

s M −μ
SM = n
tobt = SM

SM = 2.1
16
SM = 2.1
4
SM = 0.53

tobt = 7.9−9
0.525
−1.1
tobt = 0.525
tobt = −2.08

Step 4:
Reject H0 , t(15) = -2.08, p <0.05
M −μ
Cohen’s d = ∣ s ∣

d = ∣ 7.9−9
2.1 ∣
−1.1
d = ∣ 2.1 ∣

053023 [H] 1
d = 0.523809
d = Moderate Effect

The shop puts significantly less protein in their sandwiches
