Question

Dr. jameson wanted to know if intelligence quotient (iq) scores differed between male and female participants in his study. he gave 28 participants an iq test and then compared iq scores for gender differences. he hypothesized that there would be a statistically significant gender difference in iq scores. contrary to dr. jameson's hypothesis, there were no differences in iq scores between men and women in his study. which test was dr. jameson most likely to use to test his hypothesis?

Answer 1

I believe the answer is: paired-samples t test

paired-samples t test is being done if we want to determine whether the mean difference between two sets of observations is zero
By using paired-samples t test, we could know whether the variables that used in two different research on similar topic are in equal metrics of measurement.
