Question

A researcher wants to determine if the reaction speeds of people are different based on whether they are athletic, moderately athletic, or not athletic. A random sample of people were asked whether they were athletic, moderately athletic, or not athletic. Then they were tested for reaction speed. Reaction speed was measured indirectly through reaction distance, as follows: A vertical meter stick was dropped and they caught it. The distance (in centimeters) that the stick fell is the reaction distance, and shorter distances correspond to faster reaction times.

Explanation / Answer

Null hypothesis : reaction speeds of people are different based on whether they are athletic, moderately athletic or not athletic

Alternate hypothesis : reaction times are faster, reaction times are slow or reaction times are not moderate based on this they will be classified in to three categories.

The analysis plan describes how to use sample data to accept or reject the null hypothesis. It should specify the following elements.
