A group of people are given a cup of coffee and asked to rate random pictures from 110 (mean rating = 7.5, s = 4, n = 36); another group is given decaf coffee and follows the same procedure (mean = 6.0, s = 3, n = 36). 1. State the null hypothesis 2. Calculate t observed and find t critical 3. What is your decision and interpretation/conclusion 4. Find a 99% confidence interval for the difference in perceived a:ractiveness of others between subjects who do or don’t consume caffeine
