A child psychologist wanted to determine if attending preschool was related to higher IQ scores. To test this, the psychologist choose a sample of n=10 children to participate in the local pre-school program and measured their IQ scores after the program was over. If the psychologist compared the mean of the sample to the population mean of 100 with a standard deviation of 15, which hypothesis test would be appropriate for this example?

A psychologist is investigating the hypothesis that children who grow up as the only child in the household develop different personality characteristics than those who grow up in larger families. A sample of n = 30 only children is obtained and each child is given a standardized personality test. For the general population, scores on the test form a normal distribution with a mean of μ = 50 and a standard deviation of σ = 15. If the mean for the sample is M = 58, can the researcher conclude that there is a significant difference in personality between only children and the rest of the population? Use a two-tailed test with α = .05.
