Question

Childhood participation in sports, cultural groups, and youth groups appears to be related to improved self-esteem for adolescents (McGee , Williams , Howden-Chapman, Martin , & Kawachi, 2006). For the general population of adolescents, scores on this questionnaire form a normal distribution with a mean of μ = 40 and a standard deviation of σ = 12. 

You collect a sample of group-participation adolescents with N = 100 and find their score is an average of M = 42.11. Does this sample provide enough evidence to conclude that self-esteem scores for these adolescents are significantly higher than those of the general population? Use a one-tailed test with α = .01.

First, what is the standard error of the mean (SEM)?

a. 0.83

b.0.35

c.0.12

d.1.2

B) Second, what is the Z-score for the sample?

C) What is the critical Z-score? That is, what Z-score is needed so that p(Z) < .01, one tailed?

What is the critical Z-score? That is, what Z-score is needed so that p(Z) < .01, one tailed?

a.2.58

b.±2.33

c.2.33

d.1.64
