Statistics Question?? One tailed or Two tailed test?
Scores on standardized intelligence tests are normally distributed with m = 100 and s = 15. You think that experience is especially important in determining intelligence and that an enriched environment can increase a child’s IQ test scores. You randomly select a sample of 30 children to participate in an enrichment program. After their experience in the enrichment program, the IQ scores for the sample is M = 110.

a. Is there evidence that your enrichment program increased IQ test scores?

b. In answering part a., did you use a one-tailed test or a two-tailed test? Justify your choice of a one-tailed or two-tailed test. How did this choice influence your conclusion?

c. Comment on the effect size obtained with your enrichment program.

- I used a Two tailed test to calculate (a) and Cohen's d for part (c) Now I am wondering if I should have used a One tail test???

It's a big question. But think about it.

From the first few months of your birth, you realised you had the power to affect your surroundings. By crying, someone would rush to you and give you attention. If you threw that ball in your hand, it would move away from you. We enjoy having the ability to cause things and then watch the effects.

Why do bullies put themselves at the top of the pyramid?
Why do we like outsmarting each other?
Why do males compete to see who is the manliest?

Why why why?

Does any of you intentionally speed up when someone is trying to get in front of you?
Or what about when they pop out in front of you cutting you off and you get the finger from them?

It's unexplainable difficulty in consciously identifying thoughts and ideas...

I doubt there's a word for it and I need to make up a word, preferrably from latin or greek...

Remember, it's nothing to do with memory, it's newly generated thoughts and ideas which the subject is aware of but cannot explore...
