Your research question of interest is:

Is there a difference in the mean depressionscore of patients before and after they participate in the 4- weekexercise regimen?

You are informed the estimated standard error of themean differences (s) is 1.74

You will use the information above to complete the questionparts below for a two related samples t-test.

Part A: Which of the following represents theappropriate null hypothesis(H0),given this research question of interest?

Part B: Which of the following represents theappropriate alternative hypothesis(H1), given this research question ofinterest?

Part C: Which of the following represents theappropriate critical value(s), testing at analpha level (α) of 0.05?

Part D: What is thet-statistic associated with your test?(rounded to the nearest hundredth) - see note above forthe value of the standard error of the mean differences.

Part E: Given your test results, what is yourdecision about the null hypothesis?

Part F: The best interpretation of theappropriate decision regarding the null hypothesis would be: \"Basedon our study, we (Have/Have not)

enough evidence to conclude that there appears to be adifference in the population mean depression score before and aftera 4 week exercise regimen.\"
