Last updated: 3/8/2023

A study of the impact of caffeine consumption on reaction time was designed to correct for the impact of subjects prior sleep deprivation by dividing the 24 subjects into 12 pairs on the basis of the average hours of sleep they had had for the previous 5 nights That is the two with the highest average sleep were a pair then the two with the next highest average sleep etc One randomly selected member of each pair was allowed to drink two cups of caffeinated coffee and the other drank two cups of decaf Each subject s performance on a standard reaction time test was recorded Which of the following is the correct check of the Normal Large Sample condition for this significance test Select one a Confirm graphically that the scores of the caffeine drinkers and the scores of the decaf drinks in the study and the differences in scores within each pair of subjects could have come from Normal distributions b Confirm that at least one of the sets of individual scores from the caffeine or decaf group and the differences in scores within each pair could have come from Normal distributions c Confirm that the differences in scores within each pair of subjects could have come from a Normal distribution d Because the central limit theorem applies to this situation it is not necessary to check any of the samples for Normality e Confirm graphically that the scores of the caffeine drinkers and the scores of the decaf drinks in the study could have come from Normal distributions A O 10 SP E n ED 150 DA h Sock E PANAS
