A researcher is interested in comparing the Christian maturity level of students who volunteer for
community service versus those who do not. The researcher assumes that those who perform

a. What statistical test should be used to analyze these data?
b. Is this a one- or two- tailed test?
c. Identify H0 and Ha for this study
d. Conduct the appropriate analysis
e. Should H0 be rejected? What should the researcher conclude?
Solution
The student’s t test for equality means can be used. Let µ_1 and µ_2 denote the
mean scores of the no community service and community service groups respectively. H0:
µ_1=µ_2 (the mean scores are the same in both groups) H1: µ_1
