A research team investigates the potential association between hours of work and blood pressure. They want to see whether there is a difference in blood pressure (SBP) between individuals who work about 45 hours per week and those who work 60 hours or more. If they were to use the hypothesis testing procedure for this research question, what would be the appropriate test statistic to use? ANOVA Independent-samples t test One-sample t test Chi-square test of independence Matched-sample t test

A research team investigates the potential association between hours of work and blood pressure. They want to see whether there is a statistically significant difference in blood pressure (SBP) before and after someone switches to a heavier-load job (from 43 hours per week to 57 hours or more). If they were to use the hypothesis testing procedure for this research question, what would be the appropriate test statistic to use? One-sample t test Matched-sample t test Chi-square goodness-of-fit test Independent-samples t test
