A researcher wishes to test the effects of excerise on the ability to complete a basic skills test. He designs a pre-test and post-test to give to each participant. You believe that there was an increase in the scores. You believe the population of the differences is normally distributed, but you do not know the standard deviation. When calculating difference use Post-test minus Pre-test.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
