Question 19
2 pts
Use this information for this and the next three questions:
I recently tested people's curiosity about traveling to Mars before and after having them read
an article about traveling in space and living on Mars. Using the printout below, test to see if
curiosity changed from before to after reading the article, using alpha = .05 and four steps of
hypothesis testing. NOTE: higher scores indicate higher curiosity.
What is the null hypothesis?
