Z-TEST: A reseаrcher is interested in evаluаting the effectiveness оf a new treatment fоr anxiety. On a standardized measure оf depression, the mean score among untreated individuals diagnosed with this disorder is μ = 25 and the standard deviation is σ = 11. The researcher draws a random sample of size n = 36 from a large group of individuals who have recently received the new treatment technique. In this sample, the group mean on the standardized depression measure is M = 15. Does the new treatment significantly reduce the level of depression from that expected among untreated individuals diagnosed with depression? Conduct a two-tailed Z-test with alpha set at .05 to test the hypothesis that the treatment is effective. Step 1: Specify the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis. (6pts) Step 2: Set the criteria for making a decision. Note alpha (for one or two tailed test). Make a diagram of the regions of acceptance and rejection associated with the null hypothesis, labeling the horizontal axis using Z-score values. (6pts) Step 3: Calculate the Z-statistic; use the following information that the M = 18, where μ = 22, σ = 10, and n = 49. (6pts) Step 4: Make your decision. Given your answer in step 3, would you accept or reject the null hypothesis? Briefly state your conclusion (in your own words) regarding the effectiveness of the new treatment for depression? (6pts) For 3 pts of extra-credit: Based on the z-test above, tell me what the z-critical value would be if you were to conduct a one-tailed z-test with alpha = .01. DRAW AND LABEL THE DISTRIBUTION.
